Hurrah, I’m $37 richer!

Just a quick post to note that Growstuff (my open source project for food gardeners) was selected as one of the winners of Pinboard’s satirical startup incubator program. I get $37 in funding, woohoo!

While the $37 won’t pay for much of anything — that’s the point, after all — I’m looking forward to Maciej’s advice and help with getting our name out there, and to getting to know the other winners. I’m pleased to see another food startup on the list (home baked goods via the Internet!), would love to be able to use the pre-hardened machine images for AWS, and can’t help but be excited that a sailing-related startup is amongst the winners. While I don’t play board games much, nor have a kid in school, both those projects sound useful and likely to succeed, too. Congrats to my co-selectees!

I squee'd out loud when he announced the winners and I saw your name. So cool. Congratulations!

That's awesome! I have a love-hate relationship with gardening, and currently a bad-soil/no-space/jerky-neighbors situation going on ... but what you're doing is really cool.

(I have to tell my bf about the board games guy. Better yet, tell the board games guy about Ravelry ....)

That's great.

I'm still waiting for the strata co to rebuild the retaining wall that forms one side of my courtyard, while another season passes by without planting a single thing.
