Yeah, glad we proved that JA still has some pretty amazing fans out there.

True story: When the contest started, I had just been accepted into my dream university to do my PhD but with no funding. I was looking at the prospect of being penniless for 3 years with a wife and kid to care for on top of it... 9 days ago on May 15, I got informed I had a full scholarship plus generous stipend for my PhD and well... that flipped my world upside down. So that was when I told myself I'm going to make someone else's dream come true. Pledged 9 times more than my original 'maximum', and I had the finger hovering over an additional $1,170 (it would have brought me to a nice round number) if it didn't get funded by 8 hours to go.

So I'm gonna remember this campaign for a long long time. Great job FC. Great job Bear's Pit. Great job JA:F backers. I'm going to miss rushing into work just to fire up my computer to check the latest total (and then getting no work done at all haha)
