Just to bring this back full circle. My point in posting this was to point out that there are people with money willing to give that money to you with no strings attached if you have a project and a funny video.

Imagine what the mesh project or sudo radio could do with $10,000. I know that lots of money does not = great project, but i would encourage some of the projects out there to think in terms of what they want to do (dream big), instead of what they can do now by scraping together parts on with a non existent budget.

Is there no interest at all in hetero sheep? Don't we want to be inclusive of the entire community of giant sheep?

Yo Andrew, you're OK and I know you're not a homophobe. Your statements didn't come across as homophobic _at all_. Mildly sarcastic yes, homophobic no. Sarcasm is good, no apologies needed.

I've seen some pretty obnoxo bits come across these tubes, including nasty ad-hominems, assertions of superiority, category put-downs, and "I refuse to hear you" stuff. Most of that seems to me to be psychological defensiveness, heated-up by dynamics such as you pointed out in your article excerpt yesterday, plus the usual outcomes of a hybridized communications medium that's part conversation, part broadcast, delayed rather than realtime, and minus all nonverbal cues.

Generally the sting wears off after a few days and then it's over & done with. Contrast to: imagine if every conversation you ever had at a pub, was preserved for posterity and searchable under your name. (The idea that this stuff needs to be indexed & searchable is more than a little narcissistic: to quote someone I was hanging out with last night, are we really so important?)

Knowing the person at the other end of the wire, and being able to translate their writing into their spoken voice, makes many of those issues disappear. In my mind's ear I hear you telling sheep jokes. They're not bad, for sheep jokes;-)

OK, so who's going to launch a Kickstarter to build another giant gay sheep?

Or how'bout a couple of giant lesbian sheep? With audio chips & speakers, so they can say to each other, "Baaa-aaa-aaa, I love ewe!" and "Baa-aa-aaa, I love ewe too!"

I'm gay & Andrew's cool with me & has no issues with gay folks generally. Just in case anyone thinks otherwise (incoming drama-missile intercept launched).

OK, so: what to do about that sheep:

Start another kickstarter to build another gay sheep, so there'll be two of them and they can go out on dates together.

This project just made $200 in the last hour. Someone at Sudo Room really wants the Big-Ass Amazingly Awesome Homosexual Sheep to have laser eyes!

Hahaha yeah on second thought I'm not actually curious why you would say that. I'm happy to let it be a hole in my knowledge of the world.

We can (probably?) all agree that a sudoroom crowdfunding project would be more admirable than a lot of others on kickstarter?

No, I think a giant sheep that you enter through the ass is
way less
admirable than making a crowd funded movie. I think crowd funded
movies are extremely important, given what traditional funding has
done to the creativity of film.

Also Burning Man does not need queering.
