The Maker Faire Bay Area is this weekend (May 19 & 20th) at the San Mateo County Event Center.

I’ll be in the Maker Shed selling Geiger Counter kits. I’ll be doing a demo on Saturday at 6PM in the Shed and will also be giving a presentation about finding radioactivity in everyday objects on the Make: Demo stage in Expo Hall on Sunday at 2PM.

Stop by and say hello!

The Austin Mini Maker Faire is this weekend!

This is the first Make: sponsored event we’ve had since the “big” Faire in 2008. It’s being held at the Pine Street Station in East Austin (5th and Waller).

I’ll be there checking out all of the cool exhibits, including the soldering workshops being run by my friends at the ATX Hackerspace.

See you there!

Two exciting events are coming up in September – the New York Maker Faire and the 2011 Open Hardware Summit.  This year I’m fortunate to be traveling to New York for both events, and I’m looking forward to meeting other makers and OSHW enthusiasts.

I should be easy to spot, I’ll be the guy wearing a Geiger counter around his neck (and hopefully not being hassled by security).

If you’re not coming to the summit and you’re interested in seeing my open source Geiger counter in person, stop by my booth at the Maker Faire.  I’ll be doing various demonstrations and will also have kits for sale.

See you there!

The Amp Hour #43 — Audacious Arduino Arguments

Our first four-way podcast!  Listen to me, Chris, Dave, and Jeremy chat about Arduino, high altitude balloons, hackerspaces in universities, the Google ADK, and the Maker Faire Bay Area.

Kudos to Skype for enabling us to actually pull this off!

I’ll be there!  I’m showing off my Wifi Radio project on the Make: stage at 1:30PM on Saturday.
