I’ll be at Maker Faire Detroit again this year, braving the searing rays of our terrible and merciless sun and shooting off water rockets like a mad man. I’ll have a “Cheap Thrills” booth outside, where I’ll be showing off under-$10-projects from SNIP, BURN, SOLDER, SHRED (as well as a couple of the new projects from my upcoming book of unconventional musical instruments), signing books, and making free water rockets with all comers (while supplies last). I’ll also be giving a half-hour, air-conditioned presentation on Sunday: “Your First Synthesizer: A Weird Little Noise-Toy You Can Build Tonight.”
My long-time co-conspirator Fritz Swanson will also be at Maker Faire (his first ever!) demoing “Letter-press Printing: Data Distribution the 19th Century Way,” as will my pal Amy Stevenson, teaching at-home artisanal paper making. See you there!
Reduced rate early-bird tickets are still available, or so I’m told (click through the Maker Faire Detroit link for details).
