Kickstarter is the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.  They make it possible to share your project with thousands of people and raise money to make it a reality.

Below is a project I like and was going to fund money but they have already received more than they need. They only asked for $18,000, so far they have raised over $26,000. If you have a great idea, but just need some financial assistance Kickstarter can help.

I have been using RackSpace for over 6 years. They have never let me down, there are other hosting companies that offer similar hosting services for a fraction of RackSpace costs. I can calculate the extra cost that I pay to RackSpace but I can’t put a value on having a server with 100% uptime and support team that NEVER lets me down. Here’s a short video on RackSpace.

I’m not a fan of football, but I do enjoy the the creativity of some of the Super Bowl commercials. Here’s a link with all the commercials, pick your favorite.

Google’s new privacy policy really is a hobson’s choice, you can either agree to let Google know “everything” you do or stop using Google. Actually it’s not a drastic as you might think, but it’s still pretty serious. In theory Google could look at your calendar and note your current location from your smart phone and “suggest” a better travel route to avoid a current traffic jam.  New policy starts March 1.
