Hitbit, stylish retro console, hits Kickstarter

Design of Things, a Milan-based design firm, has just introduced a stylish retro console on Kickstarter called Hitbit.

ZX Spectrum Next: An Updated ZX Spectrum Done Right?

Apr 23, 2017

Although little known outside the UK, where it was a blockbuster success, the ZX Spectrum is nevertheless a fascinating computer.

Hemingwrite Kickstarter and the promise of distraction-free writing

Dec 11, 2014

As a professional writer, the new Hemingwrite Kickstarter certainly caught my eye. Its tagline is “A Distraction Free Digital Typewriter,” which certainly has its appeal. I can speak from both my own personal and extended social experiences with fellow writers that the collective we often like to romanticize the concept of...

Another Kickstarter disaster

Another Kickstarter disaster

Oct 24, 2014

Although it comes as no surprise at this point, it’s still worth it to report that yet another Kickstarter has failed to deliver. This time, it’s for the Writerase, which featured the tagline, “Simply write and erase, or ‘Writerase’, with our customizable dry erase notebooks!.” In this case, despite receiving over 32,000...
