PC Gamer Invents New Way to Play

/in , /by


(PRWEB) September 26, 2013

The Paradise desk is a well thought out extension of the users’ computer that includes USB, power, audio, video and even lighting. More importantly it seems to be winning over Kickstarter, the crowd funding site with the project being funded in less than 27 hours! Click here to visit.

The Paradise desk is the first desk designed completely for computer enthusiasts and gamers who want a premium desk. The concept stems from the idea that a desk should act like an extension of the computer and all computer devices, including the computer & monitor, directly plugged into the desk. This concept makes it easier to plug in and maneuver devices without awkwardly bending over or reaching behind the computer, as such with current desks. It also allows the user to avoid the tangled wire mess beneath the desk, by plugging in the computer and its devices directly into the desk. The desk encompasses not only power and USB technology, but also audio and even lighting.

The Paradise desk is equipped with 7 USB ports that are strategically placed on the desk’s surface and function to connect to the computer and/or its devices. This is the first concept of its kind and is one of the many ways the Paradise desk is superior to all other computer enthusiast desks. One of the ports is located on the front left side and allows the user to quickly plug in a portable hard drive, USB key, Ipod or even USB head phones, directly into the computer. Nobody enjoys changing the batteries in their wireless mouse or dealing with the mess of cords around their desk, so there are 3 USB ports in the centre of the desk. These ports allow the user the flexibility of plugging in wired or wireless devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, etc. They are hidden within a drawer that swings open to store excess cable. There are 3 more ports located on the back of the desk for larger devices, such as a printer.

The inclusion of power into the pc gaming desk is another unique aspect to the Paradise desk. Not only will this allow to power up the desk and its components, but it also provides fully functioning power plugs to power up the monitor, printer, etc. There are a total of 4 power plugs located near the back of the desk.

Since the user is already plugging in all of their devices into the desk, it only makes sense to plug in their monitor as well. The monitor can be easily plugged into the desk by using a DVI cable, saving the user from wire clutter.

The Paradise desk has 2 light bars located at the back of the desk to illuminate the area behind the monitor. Not only does this provide ambient light but also helps to keep eyes from straining, so the user can work harder or play longer. The light feature is optional. The user can turn the bars on and off as per their preferences.

The desk comes handy with an audio switch located on the right hand side, which allows the user to quickly switch from using their headphones to a stereo sound system, without the need of unplugging or switching settings on their computer.

Be one of the first to own this premium desk and show support. A truly beautiful piece of craftsmanship, that is only available through Kickstarter.com. Order yours today. Click here.

Award-Winning Photographer Brett Simison Launches Crowd-Funding Campaign to Create Exhibition

/in , /by

Vergennes, VT (PRWEB) September 28, 2013

Vermont-based photographer Brett Simison has launched a campaign via the crowd-funding website Kickstarter to create his upcoming photographic exhibition “The Pane in Empty Rooms”, a portfolio of images made in and around poet Robert Frost’s summer cabin in Ripton, Vermont.

“Not only is Kickstarter.com a good way to raise money to get your project off the ground, it’s another avenue to promote your work and have it seen by more people,” said Simison of the popular money-raising website. Typical projects on Kickstarter run for 30 days, and a project must meet its funding goal or else it fails and all pledges are cancelled. Projects offer tiered rewards to backers as a way of thanking them for their support.

Simison’s goal is to create large fine art photographic prints from the portfolio for exhibitions beginning in 2014. “One of the things that makes ‘Pane’ so unique is that it was photographed entirely with film on large and medium format cameras. The image detail and tonality of real black and white film is stunning, and I wanted to make sure the viewer can see it all. Printing large photographs was the obvious choice,” he said.

The project has until October 20 to raise its $ 6,000 goal, and if it succeeds that money will go towards the purchase of equipment and materials to print and mount the exhibition of 20 black and white photographs. Rewards to backers, which include a range of signed fine art archival photographs, are scheduled to ship in December 2013. The first exhibition for “The Pane in Empty Rooms” will open at the Vermont Center for Photography in Brattleboro, Vermont in January 2014.

The Great British Banjo Company expands its Shackleton Banjo range to meet customer demand

/in , /by


Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 30 September 2013

British banjo business, The Great British Banjo Company, has expanded the range of models of its Shackleton banjo, to meet the demand from supporters around the world.

The company is funding the development of its British-made banjo, The Shackleton, on the popular crowd funding website Kickstarter.

Originally offering just one version of the banjo, which is the first mass-market banjo to be manufactured in Britain for more than 60 years, the company has received numerous requests for upgraded and alternative versions.

“We were going to start with the basic £300 model, but requests from supporters and enthusiasts around the world have led to us introducing a very special oak rim version, plus a version with built-in pickup, plus accessories such as a British-made leather banjo strap,” explained Simon Middleton, the company’s founder and managing director.

The Shackleton Banjo Kickstarter funding campaign has now passed the 67 per cent milestone.

Pledges totaling more than £20,000 ($ 32,000) have been received towards the target of £30,000 ($ 48,000), which will enable the company to produce its first batch of the British-made banjo.

The Shackleton banjo will be the first volume-production to be manufactured in Britain for more than 60 years.

The instrument is named in honour of Sir Ernest Shackleton, the British explorer who led the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1914.

The banjo belonging to the expedition’s meteorologist played an unexpected but vital role in the journey, after Shackleton’s ship Endurance was crushed by ice and had to be abandoned.

Although each man was only allowed to take two pounds in weight of personal possessions off the ship, Shackleton made an exception for the banjo, famously declaring: “We must have that banjo, it is vital mental medicine.”

It proved a wise decision, because when Shackleton and a small team had to leave 22 men trapped on Elephant Island for several months while they set off on an 800-mile voyage in a small open boat to seek for help, the banjo played a vital role in maintaining morale for those left behind.

The marooned men held regular concert parties and wrote songs on the banjo.

“It’s a fantastic story of British pluck and determination,” explained Simon Middleton, managing director of The Great British Banjo Company, “and it has inspired us to undertake our own adventure: to build an affordable banjo in Britain, which has not been done for so many decades.”

“We are thrilled with the response from banjo enthusiasts, as well as from people who just want to support British manufacturing,” Middleton added.

Company Information:

The Great British Banjo Company Limited, which also owns online specialist store Banjos Direct, is based in Norwich, Norfolk, UK.

The company works with local craftsmen as well as instrument manufacturers in other parts of Britain.

The business was founded by brand adviser, business author and musician Simon Middleton and has grown rapidly to become the UK’s best known banjo specialist retailer and manufacturer.

In 2012, the company launched the Islander Ash Leaf banjo, hand-made for the company in England by Malcolm McLeod, which has received glowing reviews from professional players in the UK and the USA.

The Great British Banjo Company is a private limited company, owned and managed by a small group of family and friends in Norwich, Norfolk, UK.

Crowdfunding Expert Kendall Almerico Comments On Why Detroit Should Use Crowdfunding For Civic Needs

/in , /by


Tampa, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2013

Crowdfunding expert Kendall Almerico, CEO of crowdfunding website http://www.ClickStartMe.com, commented on why Detroit should harness crowd-funding for civic needs and how crowd finding will revolutionize the “pay it forward” movement. Almerico says that using crowdfunding to do good in a community gives us the avenue to take back community initiatives.

“As members of our communities we are always lobbying to move forward with worthwhile projects and programs that help and grow the communities we live in. With good-deed focused crowdfunding, we make sure those projects happen,” Almerico, the nationally publicized crowdfunding expert says, “We vote for what we believe in, but sometimes that is not enough to get it done.”

Almerico points out that while initiatives like the 10-foot Robocop statue are heavily supported by the community, before crowdfunding, there was no way for the members of the Detroit community to get this icon created for their city.

Communtiy crowdfunding is the collective effort of members of a community to pool their donations through an online crowdfunding portal. At present, most crowdfunding efforts have been used to support new product ideas or artistic creations, but with the help of sites like http://www.ClickStartMe.com individuals in a community can use crowdfunding to ensure that their tax-deductible donations directly fund the community projects they feel most strongly about.

“We, as a community, are already paying for community projects through tax dollars,” Almerico says. “Community crowdfunding just allows us to have more of a say on where some of those dollars go by using tax deductible donations to directly benefit causes.”

Almerico hopes this movement towards community crowdfunding will enhance the “pay it forward” movement. “Helping people that really deserve it is not a new concept.” Almerico adds, “America needs a way to have their small good deed count for something big.”
