My friends... we have just about done it! We ordered the base box yesterday!
I am so excited to get back to work, it is hard to contain my glee. I just need a little more help to get to the finish line.

Still needed are a graphics monitor, a keyboard and mouse, a we**am and speakers. These are needed because Apple sells you the box and nothing else at this level of computing power. I also still need the funds to ship the boxes and to pay the tax man.
Dayo and I are talking non-stop about art (we've been talking non-stop about art for the last three years, but the last two weeks have been excessive even for us) and what it would mean for us both to be able to draw and create.
This machine though, isn't just about art. It's about being able to freely create content of all kinds including video, 3D and audio content. It's about the ability to rapidly develop and monetise that content.
Many of you know me from my teens as a content creator. Many of you read my first columns in the newspaper, or remember from my child model/actor days, or remember me writing short stories in maths class, or remember me from my skins and makeup for SL, or remember me from Hype Magazine or The G Spot... creating content isn't something new for me, it's a life calling.
For the first time ever, I'll be working on a machine I will have to chase, instead of it chasing me. For a creative person, this is everything.
Thank you to you all for helping to give my child hope for the future. Thank you all for that. I cannot tell you how much we want to be independent again and to have the freedom to make choices.
Thank you for all of it... life looks brighter and it's not just Dayo feeling renewed hope and bouncing off the walls. It's definitely me too.
We are there... we've squared the brain of this set up. It's a baby beast and future proofed! However, just a little further to go. Just a few more drops and the jug will fill up.
Every little bit helps. Nothing you give towards this campaign is too small, goes unnoticed or is unappreciated. Even if it's just to share this post, you're helping to make a difference.
Please support artists and creators. Support Dayo and I in this endeavour.
It's just about $1500 or so in total to meet my target. That's 15 $100 donations!! Please help to get us over the goal!
We still have time to do this... you all have brought me this far along when both Dayo and I had no hope left, but you've given it back to us.
Again: Thank you!
