I wanted to mass produce these things so everyone could have one. But they denied it, same as my low cost solar/battery powered diving helmet.

What now? Just provide clear instructions on the blog so people can build their own?

What exactly was it you were asking to produce?

A line of affordable underwater hamster habitats for use in aquariums.

Lol, that is hilarious. I imagine that there might be some liability issues that they were worried about though. Leaky habitat + underwater + hamsters = disaster. You can only hope that you can catch it in time before they become genetically modified freaks.

>Bob Averill is a pedophile. After asking SomethingAwful where the lowest age of consent is, he packed up his girlfriend and headed to vegas for a week of "genuinely respecting her for her intellect."

>My girlfriend of four months is fifteen. For reference, I am twenty two.

>Am I a pedophile? Of course not. That's a word misused by most people to mean "anyone under the age of consent". The truth is that since she's over 13 she's a teenager, and every heterosexual American man loves teenage girls.

>So fast forward to last week: She starts sending me emails telling me how great the sex was with me, how huge my dick is and how she still thinks about me. I have kind of a fragile ego as it is so naturally I lit up like the sun when I read these. She always used to tell me I was the best she'd ever had and here it was in writing. I wanted to frame it and hang it next to my degree, directing the attention of potential clients to it, "should they have any doubts as to the virility of my mighty Jango Fett".

You, sir, is what's wrong with the world.
I would applaud my hamsters evolving into water-creatures of the dark.

Yes, I have an ED. So does every webcomic guy. So does Steve Jobs. His says he gives gay handjob orgies to his employees. Hopefully you realize that is not factual information.

I briefly dated a 17 year old when I was 24. It was apoor choice but not illegal and not "fucking children". The content of the ED is, as with every other article on the site, written with the intent to defame. In this case, largely by an ex of mine (CalvinandHobbes on the contributor page).

All I wanted to do was provide something interesting and cool for the members of this board. I have not wronged you personally in any way that I know of. However the existence of that page has prevented me from holding down a job for longer than a month or two at a time for several years now as eventually employers find it and I'm dismissed soon after. It has prevented me from havingany sort of lasting relationship for the same reason. I have been struggling with depression and occasional suicidal thoughts but electe dnot to show it as I know that only makes me a more tempting target.

I don't know what you want from me exactly but if you tell me what it is I will try to give it to you. It's difficult to live like this.

holy shit scientist, given the comics you've written I'm surprised you let some internet dipshit like him strike a nerve at all

At any rate I would like anyone who wants one of these to be able to have one, so it looks like an Instructables entry is in order.

As for the blog I will be shutting it down along with every other project blog and doing my best to vanish as completely as possible. I apologize to anyone who enjoyed them. It goes without saying that I can't post here anymore. I very much appreciated your input and encouragement over the years.

And so Kickstarter continues to suffer from a surfeit of common sense.

Yeah, put it up on your blog I guess. Circulation will suffer but I imagine the type of people who would build it will find their way to it sooner or later.

Dude, wait, don't erase everything yet, or at least leave us a throwaway email or something. Your projects are cool and I think it'd be cool to at least know what you're up to next.

I've got a reef tank with living coral and bamboo sharks. It's about 6ft long, 3ft tall and 2ft deep. Some of these hamster dealies would look pretty boss in there.
