Kickstarter is the latest online fundraising phenomenon to hit the Internet for small time inventors, programmers, and entrepreneurs to take their ideas and turn them into tangible products. Some big successes from the program have been TikTok, the iPod Nano meets watch product, and Wasteland 2, a video game that has seen moderate market success.
The Christian band Family Force 5 saw the potential to combine their music videos and crazy fan base to not only fund their two latest music videos, but also to supply their “extras” with the highest donors from the kickstart project. They hoped to raise $20,000 on each video and received $28,914 on their Zombie video and $24,338 on their Cray Button video.
Adam Young, aka: ‘Owl City,’ composed and mixed a music bed that plays underneath powerful sermon soundbites from John Piper.

This video is mind-blowingly wonderful!
The marine biologists at Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution hooked an iPod up to a squid, using a clever audio to small electrical impulse convertor. The impulses stimulate the squid’s Chromatophores cells (which are used to reflect light).

His newest album “Gravity” smashes all of those preconceived notions that Christian music is held to a lower standard than their secular counterparts. Continue Reading…
As much as we love the Internet, we can’t deny it’s huge impact on our lives and even on the economy. It has changed certain things for the better for sure. Even though I live in a small village, I can order anything I need via Amazon instead of having to drive 30 miles to a big city.
But the Internet certainly also has had negative effects economically speaking. One of the industries most affected by the Internet is probably the music industry. Did you know:
- between 2000 en 2012 record sales in stores declined more than 76%
- between 2000 and 2009 cd sales dropped 50%
- in January 2012 digital music sales surpassed physical sales for the first time, now making up 50,3% of all music sales
- from 1999 to 2009 full album sales dropped 55%, whereas individual song sales went up from 0 to 1.2 billion Continue Reading…
This is one of those fun little things you come across online and realize you’ll never get that hour back. 
I hate to show my age, but I remember buying DC Talk’s ‘Nu Thang’ album on cassette tape.
That was way before Gotee Records, Jesus Freak and the evolution of tobyMac as a solo artist.
The fact that tobyMac is not only producing, but creating music with an edge, is pretty flippin’ awesome.
Here’s the deets on his latest work:
