Kickstarter is home to some of the most interesting projects on the web. The site paves the way for innovators to bring their ideas to life with the help of people like you and me. Inventors showcase their ideas on the site and people can back or fund their projects to get them started.

Kickstarter projects come in all shapes and sizes and can benefit various industries. Most of these ventures offer a lot of value and uniqueness, but if I had to pick just five projects to put my money into, they would be the projects below.

1. MaKey MaKey: An Invention Kit for Everyone - This cool invention can turn everyday object into a touchpads with the use of alligator clips. Just clip the Makey Makey's cables to just about any object that can conduct electricity, and you can automatically use those objects to act as your touchpad or keyboard.

2. HAND Stylus - It's the most innovative stylus yet. It has a retractable tip that's exceptionally small giving users superior precision. The tip is also easily replaceable and can last longer than other tips because it rotates slightly every time it's retracted, so it wears out evenly. It even has pocket clip that magnetically holds the stylus in place on an iPad's Smart Cover. HAND Stylus also works well with the iPhone and other tablets including Android devices and the Kindle.

3. Ghosts with Shit Jobs - Ghosts with Shit Jobs is a "Lo-Fi, Sci-Fi" film about the North Americans struggling to find jobs by the year 2040. In this period of time, the US never recovered from the recession and the world has flipped. Countries from the East are thriving, while North Americans are living in the slums. The movie is finished and is set to be released in September, and the producers are using Kickstarter to raise money for touring and marketing. For as low as 10 dollars, backers will receive a free digital copy of the film and will be among the first people to see it first.

4. The Critical Path - If you haven't heard of The Critical path, it is a podcast that has managed to gather hundreds of thousands of listeners. It is a talk show about the success and failure in mobile computing. Horace Dediu, the show's host and the person behind the Kickstarter projects wishes to raise funds "to publish edited transcripts of the podcasts as an eBook. This will be an edited and tagged transcript of the first year of The Critical Path."

5. Hickies - Tired of tying and untying (not to mention hiding) the bows in your shoelaces? If so, you're going to love this product. Hickies is an elastic lacing system that replaces traditional shoelaces. Simply inset them into the holes of your sneakers, fasten them, and you're done!
