We are making 12 in total and stuffing hundreds of them inside the 13-foot high Trojan Horse. From left to right, ... http://kildall.com/blog/?p=659 After the first month, we are 31% funded on the 13-foot-high Gift Horse for the 01SJ Biennial. A good initial run, but its starting to feel a little tight, so please consider a Kickstarter donation to the Gift Horse project.
