    I took 7 people to the maker faire in Detroit last year. I had been the year before ( with four people) and have been to the San Fran Maker faire( buying tickets for another 6-8 people). LAST YEARS DETROIT MAKER FAIR WAS HORRIBLE. I wanted to ask for my money back. There was little that was technical about it. People made crafts and were selling them, otherwise little was available and you travel far within the museum to see so little, and last year to see such pablum.

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.
