Wouldn't all Kickstarter projects like to have funded $906,490 of a $50,000 goal?  And with 17 days left in the drive?  Well, not all Kickstarter projects involve both smart phones and paper airplanes!

A $40 pledge gets you the basic package.  No wonder they have so many backers; I can imagine that was many a geek's Christmas present.  (H/T Stephan)

I'll probably have the package shipped your way, or perhaps to NH - I have neither an iPhone nor an Android phone, so no point in paying for extra shipping!

Does that mean you're backing the project? (My H/T was just a hat tip to you for the video, not a hint.) We'd be happy to receive it here and save it for when you get one. Vivienne would love it...if she still loves planes at that point.

Yep. I posted as much on facebook (Dec. 29), but nowhere else, as I recall. Where did I mention the video to you - in an e-mail? Anyway, I got the cheapest package that yields an actual device, the barebone package. But, as I said, I will need someone else's cell phone to run it...

Turns out it was from Facebook. The notification came when I didn't have time to look at it, so it went into my "eventually" pile. When I finally got to it, in my haste I misread "couldn't resist backing this one" as "couldn't resist posting this one."
