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.

Detroit Lives is a documentary about Detroit and the renaissance of art, culture, and outside-the-box re-development that’s happening there. The film was done by Palladium Boots, the footwear company, and stars “Jackass” Johnny Knoxville. The cursing and rock n’ roll posing may be annoying to some, but I think the film does a good job […]
