ThriftCamp Making on a Budget

Brian Rowe — Thu, 09/02/2010 - 18:19

Thrift Camp

On September 19th Seattle's Jigsaw Renaissance is hosting a maker unconfernce with a focus on making within a budget. ThriftCamp is a one-day unconference discussing how to live well on a limited means. Living in a consumption culture that is destroying our limited resources and in tough economic times, I find this idea great. For those not familiar with unconferences, the main Idea is to bring smart people together and to share ideas in a semi formal series of sessions. A projector will be available if people have more formal starting points for session, but you do not need to be ultra prepared to help lead a talk. More info on registration (which is a pay what you want model!) after the jump...

Multiple Maker Spaces

willowbl00 — Thu, 07/15/2010 - 14:46

It seems maker spaces are springing up everywhere. And that's really, really exciting. We're a part of a movement, a gathering force of change and hope. We gather at Faires, at Cons, at challenges. We make friends and learn from each other. We feel epic, because we do epic things.

It feels amazing... until a space opens in the same city, down the way. Then we feel threatened, because we're socialized to see participants as a zero-sum game. We think someone going to NotYourSpace is, well, not going to your space.
