Imagine a post-apocalyptic world where rival nations wage war to compete for global dominance. What if I were to tell you this post-apocalyptic story would be told in a set of graphic novels that will be released on Indiegogo? If that doesn’t excite you I don’t know what will. The graphic novel being launched on Indiegogo is called MAVRICS: Origins Vol 1. by Aaron Neff (Writer/Creator), Garrett Gabbey (Artist), Eric Weathers (Letterer), and James Thomas (Editor). In this sci-fi epic, elite pilots in robotic combat suits wage war on the battlefield of tomorrow. I’m intrigued.

As a kid I used to collect comic books. My favorite comic book was X-Men, especially the character Wolverine. This was before the popular X-Men movies, mind you, but we still had the X-Men cartoon. Graphic Novels are similar to comic books, but differ in that they tell a story in one single book. Graphic Novels can be fiction, non-fiction, history, fantasy, or anything in-between. Then there’s the art work/images of the MAVRICS: Origins Vol 1 which is much higher quality than the comic books of my past.

The goal of this Indiegogo Graphic Novel is $500. I’m happy to report they have crushed that goal to the tune of +2207%. The MAVERICS Graphic Novel has raised $11,035 and has 156 backers. The author still needs your help, however. Consider supporting Global Frequency Studios on Indiegogo today. Not only will you help get this graphic novel off the ground you will get your own copy for just $20. It’s a no brainer.

Have you even been sweeping around the house and forgot where you put your dust pan? You look down at the pile of dirt and wonder how you’re going to sweep it up without it. Now there is a product that solves this common issue. Introducing the Pan2Can (Patent and Trademarked) the world’s first trash can/dust pan combo on Kickstarter. Simply locate your trash can, tip it over on its side, and sweep the dirt pile directly into the Pan2Can.

In addition to this blog I create product test videos, this Pan2Can gadget would be the perfect fit for my channel. The original story of this very clever idea comes from Deirdree who was a caregiver to her father for 16 years. She was also the owner of DeirdreeDsign, Inc, seasoned graphic designer turned Pan2Can product designer. Between Deirdree and their beloved cocker spaniel, Dezi – they tested and developed the product over several years. They wanted a product that could evolve and cater to many kinds of cleaning support both inside and outside the home. It was important for her to develop a solution that would help other caregivers around the world or anyone that needs extra support due to disability or mobility issues. Deirdree will actually be giving a percentage of the Pan2Can’s revenue to caregiving organizations, such as AARP Caregiver’s Support and their affiliates.

The Pan2Can measures approximately 18″ x 10″ x 9. It is engineered to be fully functional regardless of whether you are seated, standing or even laying down. The trash can/dust pan with the built in handle is compact enough to be stored anywhere. Put the Pan2Can under your office desk, workshop table, under a kitchen cabinet, or any other domestic or professional workstation. The storage options are truly endless. This product is so useful even Marie Kondo would probably be jealous.

Support On Kickstarter Today

If you are like me and this sounds like a gadget that you would use on a daily basic consider reserving a Pan2Can on Kickstater today. Visit Kickstart to support from $50 on up.

The concept and design has taken 20 years to get to this point. Tweaking the design drawings, producing prototypes, completing the patent and trademark process, now the next step is funding on Kickstarter. After the project is funded the goal will be to find the right plastics manufacturer. The plan is to use up-cycled materials including recycled plastic.

Reward Levels

The $50 level is where things get interesting. You will get one Pan2Can and one blue ink pen. At the $100 level you will get Pan2Can Gel Pen and Signed Sell Sheet. The rewards go all the way up to $5,000 with an ultimate goal of $77,000.

Conclusion

The situation I described at the beginning of this blog post I’ve been guilty of more than I’d like to admit. It just makes sense to turn your waste basket into your dust pan. It not only makes life easier I suppose it’s better for the environment to because a dust pan becomes obsolete when replaced with a 2 in 1 kitchen gadget waste basket. I wish I came up with this idea myself, but sadly I didn’t! The next best thing is to reserve my Pan2Can on Kickstarter today. The dust pan garbage can, such a wonderful idea!

Imagine a bra made just for you, with your custom measurements, all done in the comfort at your own home. It’s said that 75% of all women wear the wrong bra size because women have always been measured as if both breasts are perfectly symmetrical. There’s a product currently with a $250,000 Kickstarter goal that is looking to achieve the ultimate dream of making the world’s most comfortable bra. Gage is custom bra made just for you and their team needs your support on Kickstarter.

The story behind this Kickstarter begins with a problem. Lindsey D’Antonio, the founder, tried over and over to find a bra that fit her correctly. She tried on everything from bras at high-end boutiques, to expensive designer bras. During this process of finding a bra that actually fit she accumulated a drawer full of bras she didn’t wear. One night while Lindsey was out to dinner with her husband and friends she was complaining that she couldn’t wait to get home so she could take her uncomfortable bra off. Lindsey’s husband started to ask why it was so hard to find a good bra. How do women shop for bras, the current measuring techniques etc.? While Lindsey was answering her husband’s questions, she realized that there is a better way! This was the genesis of Gage.

Reserve your Gage Bra on Kickstarter

Wearing a garment to support the breasts may date back to ancient Greece. “Women wore an apodesmos meaning “breast-band”, a band of wool or linen that was wrapped across the breasts and tied or pinned at the back. Roman women wore breast-bands during sport. Though the first bra, a linen and lace garment that looks almost exactly like a modern bra, was discovered in an early 15th century collection from Lengberg Castle in Tyrol, Austria. Mass-produced bras are manufactured to fit a prototypical woman standing with both arms at her sides. The design assumes that both breasts are equally sized and symmetrical. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra).” Yes, as you can see it has taken this long to finally create a custom, comfortable bra that all women can wear without discomfort.

The Gage measuring device is shipped to your home, adjust the eight pivot points to measure everything, and finally enter the measurements on the Gage web site and they will work their magic! Gage is a bra designed by women and it’s the first bra you will not want to take off.

Kickstarter

Pledge $199 or more and you will receive the first Gage Measuring Device and a $50 credit towards a Gage Bra or Swimsuit Top. The best part is you don’t have to send the Gage Device back you can use it over and over again. Use it for both bras and swimsuit tops. At the $499 level you will receive a limited edition Gage Measuring Device and a $200 credit towards the most comfortable bra or swimsuit top made just for you.

Conclusion

The Gage Company slogan is “Designed by a woman. Designed for ALL women.” If you are running into the same problem Lindsey D’Antonio discovered consider supporting the Kickstarter with this mission today. Start wearing a bra you’ll never want to take off.

Developed by a team of two these towels are made from a environmental friendly and 100% biodegradable nano fabric.

Does this sound like something you’d be interested in? They need your support on Indiegogo today to get to their $10,000 goal:

This would be the perfect towel to pack in one’s carry-on case. It takes up hardly any space, but you can use it as your towl for washing or even a beach towel once you get your destination.

Are There Any Rewards?

Conclusion

I think these towels are a great idea. We need more solutions for cleaning other than paper towels. We need something in between disposable and reusable. Something that’s designed to be used up to 100x, then when your done dispose of it without fear of damage to the envirnment. I feel Moon Towels fullfill a niche that will prove to be very popular, especially in these pandemic times. If you can’t contribute to this campaign or at least share this article please do so. Please consider supporting the Moon Towel today on Indiegogo.

When I saw this campaign on Kickstarter I immediately thought it would be the perfect bag invention to review on my blog. My city charges 5 cents per paper shopping bag used to encourage shoppers to bring their own bags. The Pantrybag could become my go to shopping bag from now on because of some unique key features.

What is the Pantrybag?

The story of the Pantrybag started about 4 years ago. The inventor was at a bus stop and noticed a person gathering plastic Walmart bags and how long it took to gather up all the handles. The man made about 4 trips to get all the bags inside the bus. This is when the inventor had an eureka moment. “How can this be done more efficiently and save time.” He immediately went home and started coming up with designs to solve this issue facing shoppers all around planet Earth.

Find Pantrybags on Kickstarter

The Problem

The main problem was plastic bags used for shopping don’t stand on its own and for you to carry lots of the bags creates another problem – so many handles to carry.

The Solution

The inventor observed that when people tie bags together it’s much easier to carry more items and it also gives the bag self standing capability. This idea was enough inspiration to create what is now called the Pantrybag.

Pantrybag is born! The world may never be the same.

The Benefits

Key benefits of the Pantrybag.

– Eco friendly
– Double bag with single handle
– Stands on its own
– Environmental friendly
– Attractive ingenious design

Additional Bag Features

– Light weight design
– Carried above 100 pounds
– Fits in one’s pocket
– Machine washable. This is a huge one, because one of the main reasons I don’t use reusable bags is for this reason.
– Durable ripstop polyester and tyvek
– Waterproof and non coated
– Equivalent to 7 standard grocery bags
– Can be used as a bag for other things, such as a picnic
– Made from recycled plastic bottles

What Next?

The samples have been created, they’ve been tested, but in order to launch the bag at full scale the company needs your support on Kickstarter. That’s where you come in. Please consider supporting the company on Kickstarter.

The funding goal is $5,000 and they haven’t met this yet. Pledge $15 or more and get the bag, pouch, and keyholder. Pledge $185 or more and times the order of the $15 contribution plus 20. 20x return! Wow, those are some great rewards.

Seems like a cool idea, definitely something needs to be done about the lame, boring bags you see at the grocery store. There is huge opportunity in this space so I cant wait to see what’s next for Pantrybag Inc. in the future.
