Make Something of Yourself!

This weekend, a bunch of us from Six Apart are going to be at Maker Faire at the San Mateo Fairgrounds, and you should come out and join us! Maker Faire is shaping up to be an incredible event, hosted by the good people at Make Magazine and featuring thousands of creative Do-It-Yourself types showing off their work. As the Faire site says, you'll be joining "the creators of MAKE magazine, the MythBusters, and thousands of tech DIY enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, science clubs, students, and authors".

There is of course a full program of interesting events and displays, but we'll be showing off some of the stuff we make here at Six Apart as well, with a number of our team members participating in the Faire.

If you check out the Six Apart booth, you'll be able to use the LiveJournal makerphone, created by the makers on the LiveJournal team. Just pick up the receiver on the old fashioned payphone, say whatever you’re dying to share with the world, and when you hang up it will be posted instantly to the makerphone journal using LJ’s voice posting feature and a VOIP connection.

Many of the participants in the Bizarre Bazaar have a home at LiveJournal as well, including Boy Girl Party, The Sampler, and Feisty Elle.

We'll have discounts for TypePad available at the booth as well, and lots of schwag. Or you can talk to the Movable Type team to find out about some of the cool tech behind the Make Blog. The San Mateo Fairgrounds are family-friendly, so grab the kids and the robot and come on out.
