Looks interesting. I currently have a GeekDesk, but the market could definitely stand to have some competition at lower price points.
That said, Dave Asprey isn't a name that inspires trust. I would be uncomfortable backing a project he plays such a central role in.
- gamblor956 13y agoCould you elaborate more on the Dave Asprey bit?
- yebyen 13y agoI would have to guess he's talking about bulletproof coffee. I honestly looked at his face on the Kickstarter page and said to myself "this one I don't trust" before I even read this comment. Not sure if I recognized him, but I heard of Bullet Proof Coffee and, as an overweight person and Bitcoin proponent, went back and read the comments and instantly felt myself in that familiar hopeful being scammed mindset. I am skeptical of most dieting programs, I have nothing hard against this particular one but can't see myself how adding more butter is going to help any fat people with anything.
- doktrin 13y agoHe's made quite a bit of money by promoting what can only charitably be called half-truths. As another commenter mentioned, his primary claim to fame is "bulletproof coffee"(tm). Among other things, he promotes his own coffee beans by claiming that all other coffee is somehow riddled with mycotoxins - which his isn't, for whatever reason. [1][2] More subjectively, he comes across as a modern age health guru who touts all his opinion as revelatory fact.
