This year's Scholastic Art & Writing Awards winners from across the US attended the first-ever Maker Prom at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC on June 5th, 2014. Hive NYC organizations facilitated maker activities, including LED corsages, sonic portraits, and more. The event was also a lead-in to Mozilla's global Maker Party campaign.

Cuisinart does design a good coffee maker, I must say... (since i'm already photographing products, i might as well throw in an endorsement!)
Mohd Ramli started as a keris maker since a young, his passion the art of Keris making was passed down from his forefathers.
His passion led him to create wonderful masterpieces for lots of well known people around the country and the state of Kelantan.
Currently he can be found at the Handicraft Center of Kelantan working his magic at this dying art. His journey in keris making has been a fruitful 10 years.
More description of the keris as the following :
The kris or keris is a distinctive, asymmetrical dagger indigenous to Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Southern Thailand and the southern Philippines. Both a weapon and spiritual object, krisses are often considered to have an essence or presence, with some blades possessing good luck and others possessing bad.
A kris usually has a curved hilt that aids in stabbing strikes. It allows the palm of the holding hand to add pressure to the blade while stabbing. A kris only offers minimal protection for the hand by the broad blade at the hilt. In rare cases, a kris may have its blade forged so the blade's axis lies at an angle to the hilt's axis. The intention is to get the blade automatically turning to slip past the ribs. This works poorly and makes the weapon less durable.
Krisses were worn every day and at special ceremonies, with heirloom blades being handed down through successive generations. Yearly cleanings, required for as part of the spirituality and mythology around the weapon, often left ancient blades worn and thin. In everyday life and at events, a man usually only wore one kris. In the Malay literature, Hikayat Hang Tuah, the warrior is depicted as wearing two keris, one short keris and one long keris.
The coffee house with the rich tradition directly at St. Michael's square was not originally opened in the prestigious Palais Herberstein but long before in the former Palais Dietrichstein, the predecessor building, and namely in 1847 by the pharmacist Heinrich Griensteidl. Within a short time he was known as a coffee maker in Vienna and attracted all sorts of well-known personalities.
As early as 1848, the restaurant was renamed "Café National" and became a classic playground for artists from all disciplines, which soon earned it the epithet "Café Grössenwahn (Delusions of Grandeur)". Around 1897, the Palais Dietrichstein was demolished in the course of modernization and the architectural revolution. The regulars of the Griensteidl had to move to other places.
Café Griensteidl had disappeared and forgotten for nearly 100 years, until it was reopened in 1990 in the Palais Herberstein. Similar to the Café Central, the Griensteidl found its new quarters in the former ticket hall of a bank, but the old charm is hardly to be felt today, although it was gone to great lengths to establish the restaurant as authentic as possible with knobs on which form the characteristic Viennese coffee house.
Visually, this has certainly been achieved but apart from a few old Viennese ladies, who enjoy a champagne breakfast or simply a cup of coffee, the coffee house hardly lets the visitor feel any of the Viennese authenticity. Rather, the restaurant is flooded by foreign-language tourists, who are then in good, but wrong belief now to have met a piece of real Vienna.
A visit to Griensteidl is definitely worthwhile. Anyone who does not know that the coffee house is something new that tries to look old, here feels himself to be in a very Viennese place. If the café is not crowded with noisy tourists, you can enjoy a nice ambience here. The location at the square with the St. Michael's church and the monumental St. Michael's gate alone is unique. What you order is simply good, be it a pastry, coffee or whatever. If the weather is kind and warm, it is advisable to sit outside and watch the hustle and bustle. The staff is friendly and quick despite the constant influx.
At the end of June 2017, the operator Do & Co announced that it would finally close the Griensteidl. Once again, a coffee house with a rich history disappeared from the cityscape of Vienna.
Das Kaffeehaus mit der reichen Tradition direkt am Michaelerplatz war ursprünglich nicht in im repräsentativen Palais Herberstein eröffnet worden, sondern bereits lange zuvor im ehemaligen Palais Dietrichstein, dem Vorgängerbau, und zwar im Jahre 1847 vom Apotheker Heinrich Griensteidl. Innert Kürze war er als Kaffeesieder in Wien bekannt und lockte allerlei namhafte Persönlichkeiten an.
Bereits 1848 wurde das Lokal in „Café National“ umbenannt und wurde zum klassischen Tummelplatz von Künstlern aus allen Sparten, was ihm schon bald den Beinamen „Café Grössenwahn“ einbrachte. Um 1897 wurde das Palais Dietrichstein im Zuge der Modernisierung und der baulichen Revolution abgerissen. Die Stammgäste des Griensteidl mussten auf andere Lokale ausweichen.
Fast 100 Jahre war das Café Griensteidl verschwunden und vergessen, bis es 1990 im Palais Herberstein wiedereröffnet wurde. Ähnlich wie beim Café Central fand das Griensteidl in der ehemaligen Schalterhalle einer Bank sein neues Quartier, doch vom alten Charme dürfte heute kaum mehr etwas zu spüren sein, obschon man sehr darum bemüht war, das Lokal möglichst authentisch mit allen Schikanen einzurichten, welche ein typisches Wiener Kaffeehaus ausmachen.
Optisch hat man das sicherlich erreicht, doch bis auf einige alte Wiener Damen, die hier ein Champagnerfrühstück oder einfach einen Kaffee geniessen, lässt das Kaffeehaus den Besucher kaum etwas von der Wiener Urigkeit spüren. Vielmehr überschwemmen das Lokal fremdsprachige Touristen, welche dann in gutem, aber falschem Glauben sind, nun ein Stück echtes Wien kennen gelernt zu haben.
Ein Besuch im Griensteidl lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Wer nicht weiss, dass das Kaffeehaus was Neues ist, das auf Alt macht, der wähnt sich hier an einem sehr wienerischen Ort. Wenn das Café mal gerade nicht mit lärmenden Touristen überfüllt ist, so kann man hier ein durchaus schönes Ambiente geniessen. Allein die Lage am Platz mit der Michaelerkirche und dem monumentalen Michaelertor ist einmalig. Was man bestellt, ist ganz einfach gut, sei es Mehlspeise, Kaffee oder was auch immer. Bei schönem und warmem Wetter empfiehlt es sich, draussen zu sitzen und dem regen Treiben zuzusehen. Das Personal ist trotz des stets starken Zustromes freundlich und flink.
Ende Juni 2017 gab die Betreiberin Do & Co bekannt, dass sie das Griensteidl endgültig schliesst. Damit verschwand einmal mehr ein Kaffeehaus mit reicher Geschichte aus dem Stadtbild Wiens.

Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.
All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. This knitted tablecloth is hidden behind the tablecloth with the two birds.
There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk
Maker Boulder
We are growing this community, first, in support of the brand-spanking new Boulder Mini Maker Faire, coming to the Boulder Fairgrounds January 31 and Feb 1, 2015. Then we hope to continue this community beyond the boundaries of the event!
Our mission is connecting Makers, Entrepreneurs and Educators. Together with the Colorado community, we’ll create a symphony of STEAM activity that involves lots of hands-on learning, gears grinding, hackers iterating and tinkerers talking — and we make it all possible in three important ways:
1. Presenting small and large events that increase access to hands-on STEAM learning
2. Creating content and training for teachers to help them incorporate Making and projects into their classrooms
3. Driving dialog around STEAM and Making through website content, blogging, social media, speaking and other methods
Join us! Sign up for our newsletter, or volunteer to teach a class. Buy tickets to our events. Write our blogs, or just follow us and like us! The stone is rolling, and we want all the moss we can collect!
