Have fun, guys, I will be going to the mini Maker Faire in Orlando in a week and a half, I hope it grows into something big over time. I really wish I could go on the taco crawl, that is an awesome idea :)
Hehehe….
check the videos since Ian started with his new workshop…
its getting more and more crowded… interpolation tells me in 12 month we will have difficulties to find Ian within the video ;)
Wow! Thanks for the plug in the video. I’m very excited about the Maker Faire and hanging out at the Dangerous Prototypes booth! I’ve been working on some new animations for the DigitGrid, so it should be quite a bit more interesting than a bunch of ‘F’s. (although, that is a really big hex number (about 3.23×10^616))
