Fuck the IPhone. To Hell with a year pass to Disneyland. (Depending on the terms at which you buy them, you can't those things for $350, anyway.) Check this out:
When I go to an aquarium, my favorite exhibit is always the jellyfish. They're spellbinding. I have always wanted to have jellyfish in a home aquarium, but have never seen them available in a store. Turns out, jellyfish cannot go into normal rectangular aquariums, because they'll get stuck in the corners. If you think about it, every jelly exhibit you've ever seen has been in a cylindrical tank.
On August 10, Alex Andon of Jellyfish Art posted a project on Kickstarter.com, as a way to gauge interest for his design and possibly get pre-orders. His initial goal was to raise $3000 by September 12th. The very next day, they reached their goal.
The day after that, their project received some unexpected advertisement in the form of a Tweet from record producer Jermaine Dupri:
Soon, every aspiring rapper and music producer in the nation was jockeying to get a jellyfish tank. News of the Kickstarter project went viral. The blogoshpere came alive with the story of how the internet could instantly take someone's idea, and make it a reality. I have to admit, it's a pretty powerful thing.
As of the time of this posting, Jellyfish Art's Kickstarter project is currently at $96,055, with 260 people in line to get a tank when they're completed. Keep in mind, the project is not set to expire until September 12th, some 17 days away.
