The insanely prolific folks at Make magazine are teaming up with a heady group of co-conspirators this April for Maker Faire in San Mateo California. Seattlest is seventeen different shades of green with envy for our cousin SFist, because this event will be in their side yard, and the guest hosts are front-lined by the folks from Myth Busters. Myth Busters, sweet Jesus! That is our favorite show. Our dream job. It would be the end of us if we had Tivo, we'd just watch it over and over again. (Note to Myth Busters producers, please call us back. Please?)
What the hell does this have to do with Seattle, you're asking (again)? Aside from our crippling jealousy, not anything--damn you, San Mateo. Damn you all to hell. You've already got the Exploratorium within spitting distance, do you have to steal this from us too? The closest Seattle cohort, our little Science Fiction museum, feels somewhat bush league in comparison.
However, one of the Make founders and main contributors, Phillip Torrone, lives in Seattle so that's our connection and we're sticking to it. Seriously, we met him through work once. Don't believe us? Check out his characteristically meticulously-detailed entry on how to geo-tag your digital photos, replete with shots of GasWorks park (Wallingford sucks!). Come on Phillip, couldn't you share the Maker Faire love with your Seattle admirers?
