We’ll probably post about how our Kickstarter funds were used once we’ve spent them all (we haven’t yet and while I could make projections, it seems a little silly to do so).

It will be interesting to watch evolve.

The combination of high quality content and a steady revenue streams is enviable. I would love to know what the Kickstarter funds went to.
