Meet Interesting People at a Mini Maker Faire (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the if-you-make-it-they-will-come dept.

There are Maker Faires all over the world, but this video was made at the one held in Ann Arbor this June. It's a random selection of demos given by people Slashdot editors met while cruising the exhibits. Want to have your own Maker Faire? Make Magazine has instructions on how to make a Maker Faire if there isn't already one near you.

    I would like to attend a Maker Fair. That's like a Maker Faire, but for straight people. Not sure why the organizers feel the need to imply their sexual orientation in the name anyway, it shouldn't be relevant.

  3. Maker Faire-y by PopeRatzo · · Score: -1, Troll

    Not for nothing, but did these guys who call themselves "makers" and run around acting like they invented something ever hear of a "tool and die maker"? Or maybe a "machinist"?

    And seriously, when you add the "e" after "fair" it really makes you sound fruity. I realize you think it makes you look all 19th century and Babbage-y and everything, but honestly, nobody cares about your 3D-printed backscratcher.

    How about you drop the Olde English "faire" and get busy making something that people need instead of another steampunk costume for your chihuahua? Your parents are getting tired of paying for your hobby while you search for your place in the world.
