To start things off at 11am PST today we’re going to spend some time with the incomparable Mitch Altman, creator of the beloved TV-B-Gone, a device that turns off any TV with the push of a button. Then at 1pm PST amazing Mario the Magician. Mario is not only a great showman, but he’s a true maker who builds his own props, tricks, and costumes. He’s particularly fond of Arduino and the magic he can make with it and his magic suitcase. Don’t miss it.
