It’s that time again! The Maker Faire is happening in a couple of weeks in San Mateo and I’m SO excited. We went last year, got free tickets from some guy on the street who had extras, and ended up staying until it closed and we still weren’t able to see everything.

My panel, “Build an Online Campaign and Change the World,” was so quick and we got some great reception from it. I also attended three other sessions that were all very useful.
