Welcome, Eben Upton of the Raspberry Pi Project!

 

  • Chris just got back from Maker Faire!
  • Is there a stigma against "Makers" by engineers by profession? There's an article at Engineer Blogs about this subject.
  • There was an article from the Drive for Innovation stating the engineer's dislike for Makers as well.
  • No one recognized Chris because of his Twitter picture.
  • Chris built a 555 boost converter for his bring-along project that then powered some HB LEDs.
  • Jeff (MightyOhm) was there presenting his open source hardware Geiger counter and showing it off at his booth

  • The commerce side of Maker Faire was really comfortable, it was different than conferences, where you should use fake emails and probably don't want to buy from anyone.
  • We'll be shooting for a guest every other week from now on, feel free to call us on it if you don't hear one.
  • The crew from Dangerous Prototypes did a fun video on "How To" for Maker Faire. Look for Chris and Bunnie at 1:20 and then Chris later around the 5 minute mark.

    Thanks to Eben for talking to Chris during Maker Faire! And thanks to Element14 for helping set up the interview. It was tons of fun.
