What makes our world so fascinating is that continuously there are novel and creative ideas spurring people to leave old ways and try something new.

I just want to innovate.

What I like on Kickstarter is when I see real innovation and I see people building something new. It makes me sad when I see things that are just the same technology; you aren't passing the technology forward.

More or less, I am always saying, 'Let's do what has not been done.'

I've always been a bit of an inventor, just making up weird things people haven't thought of before. I can't tell you exactly what, though, because they might actually happen one day!

Everybody's trying to repeat the past with the new network, with new devices and new tools. Why not make something brand-new?
