Just a quick pic of the MakerBot creations so far in the first week! Just a reminder: You will not get nice prints like this, unless you keep your belts TIGHT! Loose belts sink ships people!

During Bay Area Maker Faire this year, Sylvia and I happened to meet one of the founders of MakerBot Industries, Bre Pettis! (A more thoroughly awesome dude you would be hard-pressed to meet).

Long time no blog! Glad to be back and finally have the time to catch up with everything.

A quick recap: May 21st brought us to the 10th annual Maker Faire (The 6th in San Mateo), with Sylvia and I running two demos at the Make: Live stage.

After the most amazing Maker Faire ever, there's no rest for us! Sylvia got out there and handed out her cards to at least 30 amazing makers and booth workers, and the response has been amazing. Her show skyrocketed from 10 views to over 30k in a little over 2 weeks! I guess that means we're vested! Now if only I was properly employed to support these all video shenanigans...

Last Tuesday morning I was a bit busy.. having my third (and final) beautiful little girl!

Nearly a full 9 years ago, my darling sprout Sylvia embarked on a journey to find herself. 8 years and 7 months later, she's still looking, but just between you and me, I think she's got a good start. If not, at least I think she's pointed in the right direction.

All yesterday (about 14 hours) I was PA on set of for the trailer of the new movie Before 12. Just installed the XDCAM EX browser, and the very first clip I open, I nearly fall on the floor laughing. Lets see if you can spot it...

Imagine for a moment, if you will, that you are a painter. A fairly skilled painter in your craft, not the best, but good enough to get by in almost every situation.
