I had three, count ’em, three guests on Gweek this week: Dean Putney, Boing Boing’s coding and development wizard, who updated us on his wildly successful Kickstarter project to publish a book of photographs that his great grandfather took as a German officer in WWI; Dannel Jurado, a developer at Etsy who blogs about 8-bit music and knows about a lot of cool stuff; and Glenn Fleishman, host of the New Disruptors podcast, who has a Kickstarter to publish an anthology of articles from the online publication he edits called The Magazine.
We discussed the T-shirts of Seibei, Jeopardy champ Bob Harris’ books: The International Bank of Bob: Connecting Our Worlds One $(removed) Kiva Loan at a Time and Prisoner of Trebekistan: A Decade in Jeopardy!, The Android Netrunner card game, Richard Garfinkle’s science fiction novels: Celestial Matters and All of an Instant, Hatch, Ed Piskor’s Hip Hop Family Tree book, Brooklyn Radio’s The Rub’s Hip-Hop History, the Kerbal Space Program computer game, the iPhone game Hatch, and much more!
