A perfect weekend to Make out
by Kate RutterA while back I was talking with Jeff Veen about working at Adaptive Path, and he said something that has always stayed with me. He said “People here not only like to think about things…they really like to make things.”
So, for all you Makers in the Bay Area, don’t miss the 3rd annual Maker’s Faire this weekend!
Sponsored by O’Reilly Media (publishers of Make Magazine and Craft Magazine) the Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It’s for creative, resourceful people of all ages and backgrounds who like to tinker and love to make things.
I went the first year, and it was a marvel: CNC for couples, hacking disposable cameras, knitting madness, fire art and tons of electronic little glowy things you can build yourself. It’s a downpour of creativity and audacity. This year promises to be chock-full of interesting people, ideas, projects, plans and tools. So head down to the San Mateo Fairgrounds and make out like a bandit.
See you there!
