Hi HN, I live in Midtown, Atlanta, and I just got laid off last week. I was the sole developer of a medical messaging service, and the owners just raised half a million dollars (or a figure pretty close to that). Over the New Year they moved the development to a large firm in Seattle. The specifics don't really matter, and I've got nothing against them. The worst of this is a case of bad timing; I was initially told I could finish up with my cs/biochem degree, but it looks like that's out of the question for now. In my spare time prior to being laid off, I've been (slowly) working on a few projects. One of them is a science show that is in pre-production, and the other involves crafting laser video games that are projected onto very tall buildings. I'm wondering if there might be a possibility to Kickstart the laser project and work on it full-time. Most of the money would go for equipment purchases required to scale up the display and appearance (brightness, draw complexity, speed, beam collimation/"sharpness", etc.), and I'd only pay myself a small stipend necessary to live off of. There's an index of videos about the laser here: * http://lasers.io In case this website gives you trouble (I wrote it in a hurry), here are links to a few of the videos, and you can find the rest via my Youtube channel: * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XTi-jf-ans * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x034jVB1avs (Continued in post... sorry for length!)
