Double Dutch: Two Days of Maker Faire in the Netherlands
The 2013 Maker Faire season is almost over, but not without a fair from our friends in Twente in the Netherlands. The fair is set for this weekend, Nov. 23-24.
Maker Faire
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth — a family-friendly festival of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement.
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these people come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.

Aurora: Art Uniting Community
A 2+ year odyssey started when my kids Sam and Julia, then 7 and 9, stated the obvious solution to a simple problem, “Let’s give it a home in Palo Alto.” They wanted to see artist Charles Gadeken’s Aurora, a life-sized, all-metal sculpture of a weeping willow tree lit by thousands of LEDs.
