Tracimoc Maker Faire Collage

Collaborative Comic Book Collage with Tracimoc

By Goli Mohammadi

Goli Mohammadi

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.

It’s been said that Arduino is the Altair of today; a game changing grassroots innovation that sparked a generation of hardware hacking. So it is kind of fitting that the Arduino booth at the Maker Faire is right around the corner from the vintage-computer.com booth that features a working Altair (among other nostalgic treasures). A […]
