Bereits finanzierte Kickstarter-Kampagne von Kelli Anderson für ein ziemlich beeindruckend aussehendes, interaktives Typographie-Buch. Habe ich selbstredend gerade nachfinanziert: 60$, kommt im Sommer.

»Swedish Machines« – The new book by Simon Stålenhag is now available on Kickstarter
Stålenhag’s most personal work yet, Swedish Machines explores masculinity, friendship, and sexuality in a queer science fiction tale about two young men stuck in the past – and in each other’s orbit. Their story spans decades, as fleeting moments become defining memories, and they set out to explore a mysterious forbidden zone together.
I got all of his other books and naturally just backed it immediately.

Kickstarter: How Comics Were Made! – A Visual History from the Drawing Board to the Printed Page
Glenn Fleishman, Techjournalist, Jeopardy-Gewinner, Podcaster1, Typografie– und Keyboard-Enthusiast, hat eine Kickstarter-Kampagne für sein neues Buch, über die wortwörtliche Entstehung von Comics gestartet. Sieht sehr spannend aus und habe ich selbstredend unterstützt. 💸

Author Clock
The clock that tells time through literary quotes with a new hand-picked passage each minute of the day. Author Clock has a library of over 13,000 literary quotes spanning seven centuries and six continents. Each story snippet references the time at that very moment.
Schöne Idee. In zwei Größen ab 199 US-Dollar erhältlich (und damit leider etwas teuer für ein Wifi-verbundenes E-Ink-Display).
Kickstarter: The macOS App Icon Book
A beautiful artbook that celebrates the art and craft of app icon design on the desktop.
Nach Michael Flarups iOS App Icon Book, in das es auch Yonks geschafft hat, hier nun die Kickstarter-Kampagne für das macOS-Pendant. Erneut direkt finanziert, erneut unter anderem von mir.
Update, 10.01.2024: Hier ist es. Toll geworden!

Make Something Wonderful
Ok, somehow I managed to get a copy of „Make Something Wonderful“ by The Steve Jobs Archive, which is currently going for $200-500 on eBay, for 86 Euros. 🥳
If you didn’t take a look already, here’s the wonderful digital version of the book, which is not available in stores, but was only given to selected Apple and Pixar employees. And here’s a detailed look by Arun Venkatesan at the physical and digital book.
Cool to have this at home now.

New year, new Clowes. (Actually already released in November but Amazon somehow lost my pre-order.)
eBook: Indie Microblogging by Manton Reece
Das begleitende eBook, das Manton Reece 2017 im Rahmen der Kickstarter-Kampagne zum Start der offenen Microblogging-Alternative Micro.blog angekündigt hat, ist gerade in Gänze als Draft online erschienen. Freue mich schon auf die Lektüre.
