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.

Sylvia's Super-Awesome Maker Show Ep 2 almost done!

TechNinja — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:50:39 +0000

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...

Lady Ada Lovelace Day 2010 - Finding Sylvia

TechNinja — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 06:24:52 +0000

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.
