Maker Fair: Phil Torrone...the man, the myth, the Maker

Laura — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 17:41:00 GMT

For the second year in a row I attended Maker Fair which is put on by Make Magazine. Now, while last year was a blast- this year was TWICE the fun and excitement. It was bigger and better. I managed to steal a few minutes with Phil Torrone, the Senior Editor of Make Magazine. After congratulating him on the event's success and his stylish white lab coat (who doesn't love a man in uniform?)- he told me what it takes to make the fair happen, to be a part of the fair, and how to get involved in the growing DIY community. Also...stay tuned for TONS more Maker Fair videos coming all this week.

Ignite Seattle! The Popsicle bridge building competition of a life time!

I couldn't resist attending Ignite Seattle! A bridge building competition held in downtown Seattle to unite those with a little competitive edge. Okay, it was way more then just a popsicle bridge building competition but that's what got me excited. We will also have more coverage Thirteen teams either had their bridges crushed by the weight of another human or they literally broke the scale. This was such a fun event and Bre Pettis from I make things was in true passionate, and I must say adorable form.
