It was interesting time as I had just contributed to two Kickstarter projects for the first time - <a href="https://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2013/05/29/i-fight-dragons-project-atma-interview-backing-a-kickstarter-project-for-the-first-time/" title="I Fight Dragon’s Project Atma Interview">I Fight Dragons&rsquo; Project Atma</a> and the Code Monkey comic by Jonathan Coulton and Greg Pak. The Boing Boing piece linked to an article by <a href="http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2013/05/i-wont-give-zach-braff-one-dime.html">Ken Levine saying why he wouldn&rsquo;t support Zach Braff&rsquo;s Kickstarter</a>. His premise was essentially that Braff has money and should finance it himself or use his Hollywood connections. Save Kickstarter for the indie film producer/director. He mentioned that he didn&rsquo;t want Kickstarter to get all corporate like Sundance. He had a <a href="http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-response-to-your-zach-braff-comments.html">response blog post</a> in which he showed that his lamentations had come true - Melissa Joan Hart was asking for money on Kickstarter and was only offering to follow her backers on Twitter. Ten days later <a href="http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-final-word-i-hope-on-zach-braff-and.html">he posted his final response</a> (at the time I&rsquo;m writing this) in which he pointed out that Braff&rsquo;s Kickstarter was pointless because he got &ldquo;gap funding&rdquo; anyway. Although I&rsquo;m sure most of the air will be out of the tire by the time this post appears on my blog, I&rsquo;d like to take the chance to refute and elaborate on some of what Ken Levine said. (Also, this isn&rsquo;t the Ken Levine of Bioshock, just so you know)</p>
