Is This An Update?

There's not much to report and I feel bad about that. Research just isn't something people want to hear about. It's full of dead ends, circular thought, and seemingly unrelated topics that remain unrelated.

I withdrew my KickStarter funds from my Amazon Payments account today. so hopefully that all goes into my checking account. It's nerve wracking to hit "confirm" on a transaction you don't completely understand. This money isn't real, it's digital, I mean people donated from their digital accounts or credit cards those numbers got communicated to Amazon Payments, a digital hub, and I just digitally transferred those numbers to my digital checking account. It's not money and never has been, it's just numbers in databases until I withdraw some from an ATM which probably won't happen. Chances are, everything i buy or register for with this money will be through my credit card or purchased over the internet.

It's strange to think about how much trust is involved in these numbers floating around in cyber space.
