Cool Hunting
We're proud sponsors of Make magazine's second annual Maker Faire taking place this 19-20 May in San Mateo, CA. With a workshop on electro-mechanical Blinkybugs that respond to outside stimulus with blinking LED eyes (center), a exhibit about kite rigs for digital cameras to take stunning aerial photos and Bruce Shapiro's algorithm-based sculptures (left), the Faire promises to be a nerd paradise.
We're excited to check it out and also excited to have 30 tickets to the event to give away. To enter, go to the "Contact" form at the bottom of the home page, select "Maker Faire Giveaway" and send us your best idea for a Make-worthy project. We'll chose 30 winners at random from the entries. Please submit your entry by Midnight EST, 11 May 2007. Also note that each ticket is good for one of the two days (your choice) and of course you should live in the San Francisco Bay Area or be able to travel there.
If you'd rather not take your chances, you can buy tickets here.

For the first time ever, interior designers will match wit-for-wit in a live action duel that pits four teams head-to-head in front of an audience of their peers at the Superior Interior Tournament. Only one team will survive the pressure and rise to the top as the others fall to the wayside in a broken heap of shame and humiliation, Mad Max-style. Okay, so...
