This weekend, thousands of folks will head to the PNE Forum in Vancouver to experience the 5th annual Vancouver Mini Maker Faire. With well over a hundred different makers and groups this year, there is literally something for everyone of all ages. It’s a very family friendly event. There is even a family ticket option….

I just returned from San Francisco where I attended the world’s largest Maker Faire in San Mateo (aka the Bay Area Maker Faire). I’ve been to and exhibited at a number of Maker Faires but this was my first time at the ‘big one’ which originated in the Bay Area 9 years ago.
A few weeks ago, while I was setting up my stuff at the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire, Matthew approached me and asked if could interview me about being a maker. It turned out he was making a video series about makers asking all of us the same set of five questions. Every week, he’s posting the answers to those questions.
I just returned home from a great weekend in Seattle to attend their Mini Maker Faire. While not quite as big as Vancouver’s, it was densely populated with some pretty cool makers and displays.

Just got home from a weekend of nerding out with thousands of folks at Vancouver’s 2nd annual Mini Maker Faire. Whew…I haven’t talked that much in a long time! It was two straight days of showing people 17 (!!) different 3d printers we managed to pull together in our “3D Printer Village” which has to…
We’re just over a month away from Vancouver’s 2nd installment of the Mini MakerFaire (June 23-24). Last year was the first one in Vancouver and it was a blast. I spent nearly the entire weekend browsing the booths, chatting with people and buying far too much electronics at the Solarbotics table. It was also literally…
