Darren Kitchen Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 The Hak5 set is getting an upgrade for the upcoming fourth season and we could really use some technobucks. If you want to kick us a $5 donation we would be happy to send you a set of Hak5 and Trust Your Technolust stickers. As you’ve probably seen on the show they look great on laptops, eee PCs, Nintendo DSs, or just about k-rad gear. We'll ship 'em anywhere, not just the US. Each set is personally mailed by a cast member. Expect 5-10 days for delivery. http://www.hak5.org/stickers Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted April 6, 2008 Author Posted April 6, 2008 If you get some Hak5 stickers be sure to take pics of your newly pimped gear, I'd love to feature them on the site. Quote

AeroZeppelin Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 you should have a contest one the most creative place to place the hak5 stickers. Quote
Larrysmelter Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 you should have a contest one the most creative place to place the hak5 stickers. If there ever were said contest, I guarantee the winning one would be a hot topless chick with the two stickers over their uh... ribs. Quote
32bites Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I'm going to get some. But i was wondering how many stickers come in a 'pack'. Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 just whats pictured above for the $5 donation, double that for anything more hence the any donation amount link Quote
Deveant Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Meh, ill through u guys $5 anyway, but any chance of gettin em in Aus? Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 Yeah I'll ship 'em anywhere. Just sent a dozen or so out to Ireland, Germany, UK, Finland and the Netherlands yesterday. Got a whole bunch of international stamps so I'm turning 'em around really quick. So far the donations have covered about half the cost of a new scan converter so the video from our laptops won't look washed out (3x07) or pink! (3x09). Just picked up this guy from B&H http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/2461..._Converter.html A big thanks to everyone's generosity. Quote
SomeoneE1se Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 has this been a boost in donations or is this about what's standard? Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 has this been a boost in donations or is this about what's standard? prior to this donations had dropped to zero. honestly donations were never more than a few dollars a month. don't get me wrong every little bit counts. we've just never really mentioned donations aside from once early on in season one. the links are kinda buried on the site too. this is partly due to the fact that i'm a horrible business man. if someone like Jason Calacanis were running this show I'm sure it would do more than just break even hehe.

VaKo Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 You guys should totally get a better deal on merchandising. A Hak5 branded U3 stick could have paid for a feature length Hak5 shot on location during a world tour. Quote
SomeoneE1se Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 What I see as the problem is people hate giving money as gifts, think of the negative stigma attached to it. But now that you've asked for help 'building the new set' people are happy to help. Next time you need some new equipment, announce it on show and ask for donations for THAT item and see how much you get. Quote
TomatoSlayer Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Monies sent. Now I only have to figure out what to affix the stickers to... Quote
digip Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I signed up on that PayPal donation button last year... One day I will shell out for some gear like T's and stickers, but money is hard to come by right now with the buyout at my job and uncertainty of how long we will be there. Wish I had a petty cash account for personal spending, but you could probably get blood from a stone quicker than you could spare change out of my pocket. Quote
Phredsir Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I need some Hak gear I think il get some stickers and order a t-shirt from jinx what esle you got? Edit:Wait does jinx not have Technolust T-shirts any more?? Quote

Brayn Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Just put the money through then. I totally stopped watching Hak.5 last year (Started on the release of ep 1x03 i think, back when irc was on Efnet). I am gonna start watching again, download all the back eps. (Gonna take awhile, damn australian ISP and thier throttaling). I alway wanted to donate money but was unemployed and had no paypal account, but thats all changed. Enjoy the money guys, just dont go blow it on zombie hookers ok Darren. Peace. Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted May 10, 2008 Author Posted May 10, 2008 @Brayn, I believe there is an Aussie ISP that redistributes the episodes. Anyone have that URL so Brayn can get 'em without passing bits across the pond? Quote
unasoto Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I got mine last week and was pleasantly surprised when they came in and envelope that was hand written address shows a personal interest from the cast but thats obvious from watching the show good job guys :) Quote
geekdba Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 So if I donate $20 do I get four packs of stickers Quote
