Hey Steve, You're ding us all down we British don't give up:
WWII Our football supporters Our yearly attempts at eating outside in the summer You've clearly been away too long John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of John McKerrell Sent: Thu 11/17/2011 21:29 Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geowanking] Location Clocks/WhereDials Y'see I should've just put a bet on you saying that but I doubt anyone would take it. Have I given up? Looks like I'm still taking orders. Won't be doing anything this weekend as it's BarCamp Liverpool! On 17 Nov 2011, at 17:05, SteveCoast wrote: Stop being British and giving up. I will be your proxy on kick starter, I'm a legal resident alien. Now, how can you get that video done?

Unfortunately I can't actually use Kickstarter as it's US only: "Be a US resident and at least 18 years of age with a social security number (or EIN), a US bank account, US address, US state-issued ID (driver's license), and major US credit or debit card." I considered IndieGoGo but they didn't really seem to offer much beyond a payment platform, which paypal, etc. provide. I guess Steve would tell me to find a US friend and worry about tax implications later ;-) Brady - I've submitted for Where under "Mini Maker Faire" but can submit as a talk ("15 minute session"?) too. I like the muggleclock.com <http://muggleclock.com/> site, hadn't actually seen it before, I may end up with something similar as a demo for what the purchased clock will look like. You've certainly helped me get closer to the 50, just another 39 to go! John On 16 Nov 2011, at 23:48, Brady Forrest wrote: Great project. Well, I know we'd like to have a talk on this at Where -> http://whereconf.com/where2012/user/proposal/propose/cfp/189 And if you do create a Kickstarter (which you should) I'll add it to the O'Reilly curated page -> kickstarter.com/oreilly If you'd like a web-view of your friend's 4sq check-ins -> http://muggleclock.com/ brady On Nov 16, 2011, at 3:30 PM, Andrew Turner wrote: agreed - I also don't see @wheredial or a facebook page ;) On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 4:54 PM, SteveCoast <[email protected]> wrote: Ordered mine.

I need to get 50 people to buy one before it's worth me doing it, it's going to be an Open Hardware project so the specs for the hardware and the Arduino software will be available but I'm hoping there's enough people without access to a laser cutter or time that are willing to just pay me for one :-) If you're interested then take a look here: http://blog.mapme.at/wheredial/ I'm also interested to hear any ideas you have for improvements. I'd love to have some representation of the globe on the ring that allows it to illustrate where in the world you are for instance.
