An event to celebrate crafts, engineering, science projects, etc. For and by all ages.All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies.
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. These napkin rings are hidden in the pocket with the green leafs.
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

I've always imagined meeting one's maker meant lots of warmth and bright lights. I never thought the moments before death meant your life would be flashed before you with TV screens.
But that's just what happens when Neo meets the architect of The Matrix.
For Take a Class with Dave & Dave.
"2. The Matrix - Photos inspired, in some way, by the movie The Matrix. Yep, it's my favorite movie. So there. If you've never seen it, the first part of your assignment is to rent it! If you are really, really opposed to doing so for some reason, and you don't know anything about the movie, poke around on the internet a little and you should be able to get some basic ideas. "
*Thanks to Organizer Fairy, who gave me the idea, and Serena, who told me where, in Matrix Reloaded, to find the scene.

'Hedrock almost forgot the spy ray. It continued to glow, the picture on the screen showing the Imperial conference room as clearly as ever. There were still men bowing low over the hand of the cold-faced young woman who sat on the throne chair, and the sound of their voices came distinctly. Everything was as it should be.
'For Hedrock, however, all interest in the palatial room, that courtly scene, had faded. The icy words of the young woman spun around and around in his mind, though minutes had now passed since she had spoken them.
'"Under the circumstances," she had said, "we cannot afford to take further risks with this Weapon Shop turncoat. What has happened is too important. Accordingly, General Grall, you will, as a purely precautionary measure, arrest Captain Hedrock an hour after lunch and and hang him. The time sequence is important, as he will, as usual, sit at my table during lunch, and also because I wish to be present at the execution."'

In this week’s art maker class with Natalina, we started with a bit of qi gong, then had a conversation in french about objects around us in our home and garden. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to make a servo motor move. She assembled the hardware, reviewed the servo code and updated it to try different speeds for the motor. She keeps getting more fluent in both French and Arduino — two languages she wasn’t very comfortable with before. I think these weekly lessons are helping, and I am really happy with her progress.
We also discussed our next steps for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks — which we have turned into poetic robots. We reviewed our options for the backgrounds that the ducks will glide in front of, and decided to start by printing one of our photo backgrounds onto a large vinyl banner, then shooting some test scenes against that backdrop, to see if this type of physical compositing with printed scenes will work. We also talked about the need for ’skirts’ to cover the robot bases, and looked at different ways to give Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands that just came in from China.

A productive afternoon making art together at Pataphysical Studios.
Doctors Canard and Rindbrain completed an illuminated painting that is constantly changing, as the light box around it cycles through the colors of the rainbow. This creates an ethereal experience, as the brush strokes quietly shimmer and transform, to the sound of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports (see video: vimeo.com/151282015 ). Nicely done, doctors!
Our visitors this week were Michael Easton and his son Kyan, who seemed to enjoy themselves. A friend of Dr. Figurine’s, Michael is quite an accomplished artist, inventor and engineer and showed us some of his cool creations, including magical mushroom lights inspired by this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5LjGFkpApw
Doctor Fabio showed a Chinese New Year wonderbox prototype he is building for his upcoming maker workshops (bit.ly/wonderbox-overview ). Doctors Really and Igor worked on bringing sound to more wonderboxes. Dr. Rindbrain showed his new Universe cards about Mamie. Dr. Figurine worked on a Neopixel badge for her lab coat. Doctor Zboon showed some of his new pataphysical talismans. A fine time was had by all.

More booze from Mephit Furmeet. ;-) I am told that this is very good. I do not know,because I really do not drink alcohol.
Thanks anyway! The thought is greatly appreciated, and someone is going to love this after it ages a few more decades.
Teacher Geo Monley and his high school students are building an animatronic city at Tam High: Maker Field. Here’s their work in progress, which now features several tall buildings and multiple levels.
Geo and I are also teaching a similar class for middle school students: City of the Future. Children will combine arts and electronics to make a model of what our world could be like in 100 years. They will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters, bringing them to life with lights, sounds and motion.

The Montreal Grand Prix swung into gear tonight starting with the street parties on Peel St. and Crescent St. It wasn't as crowded as in previous years and there were noticeably less cars on display. One can't blame the promotors or owners, there's no telling what could happen given the recent unrest in the city.
There was an overall feeling of uneasiness amongst the crowd and as I left downtown the protestors and riot police had started to gather in numbers right at Crescent and St. Catherines. It's really too bad because the Grand Prix is always one of the biggest summer attractions in Montreal and signals the kick-off of the summer festivals.
I built a pair of Anubis statues [my own rendition, hence the beards and lack of headdresses] because I've been wanting to build them for a while now. I wasn't really sure what to do with them, until I saw Tyler Clite's awesome Oasis Mech. Since I had the capabilites to do something like it, and he gave me the green light to go ahead and try one of my own, I made this. I used Lifelites for lighting and Windows Movie Maker for the editing [since that was the only software I have] - I only needed to splice some scenes and filter the images, though, so it worked. It's not as elaborate or as well-planned as Tyler's, but it sure was fun to make!
We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

Our third Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers went really well. I taught this evening course with co-instructor Donald Day on Thursdays, from June 16 to 30, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We worked with an enthusiastic group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a couple high school students. Our partner Geo Monley worked both as a mentor and as a student during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, by giving students an overview of how circuits work. We then learned how to use a multimeter, how to solder electronics, and how to control rainbow-colored NeoPixel lights.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. Several expressed an interest in taking intermediate and advanced classes in the future. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

Once a week, I mentor Natalina to help her with her french, as well as expand her maker and multimedia skills. In today’s class, she wrote her first few lines of Arduino code and it went really well: she felt really good about it. I also coached her to make a circuit to light up a lantern with a cardboard switch for our Chinese New Year Wonderbox, which was also successful. Natalina completed all the tasks quickly and keeps getting more comfortable with technology. Yay! Based on what we’re learning together, I will adapt some of these lessons for future courses with more students in coming months.
We also reviewed and tweaked our first video storyboard of Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her decorated ducks. We’ve now added music and dialog for each act, which gave us a good feel for the final experience:now that we’ve added the sounds, this fairy tale of ours has a lot more emotional depth and richness. We still have a ways to go on the production front: program our wonderbots to move as needed for each scene; shoot more footage of the ducks against green screen; create magical backdrops in Photoshop; superimpose the ducks over the backdrops; edit it all together. We plan to stretch out this work over the next couple months, but it’s already looking (and sounding) really good!
