Nice idea, but... you're asking for money? That would be a nice thing to put in the headline or somewhere on the page. I thought you were going to tell me about what's in the book. I closed the video when you got to the money part, cranky because I felt like I had been misled.

Kickstarter.com == raising money for projects, so I knew what to expect from the target-domain.

Kickstarter is a neat implementation of an idea that's struggled in a few other incarnations. I hope they become sufficiently well-known that their links to ongoing fundraising are generally self-evident, like a link to an ebay.com item.

Actually I'm the one that posted this cause I'd like to see it get funded.

I am not the one asking for funding, though I have added funding in the form of a $40 pre-order.

Either Nick hits his $9800 mark and the book gets published or he doesn't and nobody's card gets charged.
