My Phone Hates Me

My Phone Hates Me
That sounds extreme. Ok, maybe my phone doesn’t hate me.

But it is messing with me.

The real life version of this is even sadder than pictured. Since my wife introduced me to sleep masks, I cannot sleep without one. Now when I wake up I nudge it up onto my forehead which I’m sure looks ridiculous. I look at the phone, and it of course cannot recognise me with the mask up there. When I realise that and remove the mask, it still doesn’t recognise me and I’m left with the same basic conclusion as above.

I must look so terrible first thing in the morning that I’m literally unrecognisable to this marvelous pocket super computer that rules my life.

I want to hate it back. But I need it. I’m not entirely sure why. I think if I expunged it from my life I may be happier. But that’s clearly never going to happen.

I must make peace with the blasted machine.

The Jack Astro Kickstarter is going better than I ever could have hoped. Check it out HERE.

Hardback Book Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Posted on August 3, 2021 by BandOfOne
WOW! Thank You SO, SO much everyone. 

I am so VERY excited to be able to offer Kickstarter backers this upgrade. I always hoped that I might be able to produce a hardback edition of Jack Astro, and the overwhelming support so far has more than justified the additional cost. 

Once again, I never honestly expected to be in this position.  For the next stretch goal I would like to offer a custom Jack Astro bookmark with each book.

I’m planning on doing something a little special and handmade with these bookmarks. If you saw my IG posts about stamp-making you will get some idea of what I have in mind here. More info to come if we get anywhere close to the goal. 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Jack Astro Kickstarter is 149% funded!

Hello friends,

Jack Astro Kickstarter is 149% funded!

I did NOT expect to be saying that at dinnertime on launch day. I am so unbelievably thankful. 

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported this Kickstarter so far. And thanks to all of you who have posted, reposted, liked, shared and what have you. 

I was deliberately quite conservative in my targets, having planned on putting a good deal of my own money into printing costs. However, I still thought this month might be a long slow slog to reach the £500 goal. 

Let’s keep the momentum going. I have a few stretch goals in mind. 

I am extremely excited to be in a position to even consider this, I would like the first stretch goal to – upgrade every physical book ordered to be a hardcover instead of a softcover. 

I think this upgrade will really show off the book in it’s best possible light. I’ve done all my costs and estimates on this one already and if we make it to £1500 I’ll make it happen.

Thank you again 

Doug
