Maker Faire: Electric Giraffe

Laura — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 22:01:00 GMT

The electric giraffe (aka 'Rave Raffe') is a shy, nocturnal creature of the Playa. It can sometimes be found roaming the streets of suburbia where it elicits awe amongst the spectators. Native of Southern California, the 'Raffe can sometimes be coaxed further afield for special occasions.

Enter now the world of the Electric Giraffe, and behold the beauty of its design, marvel at its engineering and revel in the presence of the World's first robotic giraffe.

Plus, you can ride on him!

Maker Faire : The Crucible sets the sky ablaze!

The Crucible is an arts education center that fosters the collaboration of art, industry and community. Through training in the fine and industrial arts, they promote creative expression, reuse of materials and innovative design while serving as an accessible arts venue for the public. But even more importantly, they let me shoot their flame thrower :)

Ignite Seattle brings together like-minds and ideas

Jesse — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 15:34:00 GMT

What do you get when you get when you fill a cramped, dungeon-like underground club with Seattle thinkers, coders, and makers? You get an evening of entertainment from Brady Forrest and company.

Holding speakers to five-minute talks made for some impressive speed and vocabulary. This video also only represents a slice of the overall evening. Bre Pettis of Make, Bruce Leban from Google, author Scott Berkun, Jordan Schwartz from our own Microsoft make up the first half. Kathleen Dollard, Peter Brown, and Rob Flickenger round out these talks. Prepare yourself for some PG-13 language and enjoy.

You make things? Yeah, well imakethings (.com)

Bre Pettis is the man of my dreams, and perhaps yours as well. He is an artist, maker, podcaster, teacher, videographer, blogger, innovator and inventor. He stopped by our studios to talk about his latest robot, what he's been up to and where you can find him next-- which by the way is as a correspondant for RocketBoom with Amanda Congden. Marry me now Bre!

What is Maker Faire??

Join me down in San Mateo, CA as I check out Maker Faire! I chat with Dale Dougherty, editor and publisher of Make Magazine, to find out what this event is all about, and I learn about the Maker's Bill of Rights from Mr. Jalopy himself!

Want to see more? No worries, more Maker Faire coverage coming soon!
