Calling all makers! The fourth annual World Maker Faire New York is taking place on September 21 and 22 at the New York Hall of Science in Queens. Every year our East Coast event gets bigger and better, and we couldn’t be more excited to check out what the 2013 event has in store.

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.
