The potato salad Kickstarter ended in early August, but it has been a busy time since then for Zach "Danger" Brown. ABC 6/FOX 28 broke the story on July 4th when Zach, a Columbus native, asked for $10 to make some potato salad.

Kickstarter announced several updates late Friday to its terms of use and policies for crowdfunded projects, according to a blog post at the company's site.

On December 3, 2010, Chase was serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica. A woman boarded a bus he was on and asked the passengers for donations to pay for her son’s healthcare.
