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 didn’t know at the time that I was being recorded, but here’s a somewhat low quality video of the Retro Bluetooth Handset talk I gave on Sunday of the 2010 Bay Area Maker Faire.

The talk starts about 7 minutes into the video, so skip ahead unless you want to watch John Edgar Park of Make: television greet his fans.

Enjoy!

The Maker Faire Bay Area 2010 is less than two weeks away!

I’ll be giving two short talks about my Bluetooth Handset Hack over the weekend.  Look for me on stage near the Make: booth.

I would love to meet some readers of the blog.  If you spot me at the Faire, please say hello!

Update: I’ll be presenting on the Make: stage in Expo Hall at 12:30pm both days.

Here’s a pic of me and Tony during the second day of the Faire.  Tony built the awesome wooden enclosure for the project.  Last week, he decided to come up from Los Angeles at the last minute to see what the Maker Faire is all about.  Based on the grin he had all weekend, I’m pretty sure he’ll be back next year.



My project won an Editor’s Choice ribbon!  Here’s a very happy me with Phil Torrone and Limor Fried of Make/Adafruit Industries:



I took lots of photos!  Check em out.

If you want to see the radio in person, stop by Expo Hall Booth 166 at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA this weekend.  I’ll be there to demonstrate the radio and answer questions!
