My Goals for P.E.R.C.Y

This project first started out as a personal assistant inspired by Jarvis from Iron Man. I realized however, that I could make money from this, which is why you will see small ads on this site. My eventual goal is to buy a 3d printer which means that I need around 350 US dollars. I have no real expectations to make that amount of money but this also serves as a good way to get experience with websites and ads.
