Call for Bay Area Makers is Now Open!   Leave a comment

 

Here is your chance to earn some minutes of fame – and show off that secret project you’ve been working on in your garage. . .

Deadline for proposals is March 15, 2013.

I entered last year. Our theme was “Not Your Grandpa’s Ham Radio!” and generated a lot of interest in our radio clubs.

More information on this year’s event is posted here.

Take a look at some videos from my previous Maker Faire experiences…

My favorite videos from the MakerFaire include a short chat with Jeri Ellsworth and her “key-tar.”

Jeri has some very interesting YouTube videos, too.

And take a look at the giant paella pans cooking away!

ImageOkay, I finally started a WordPress blog. I will be sharing topics I enjoy – from  Amateur (ham) Radio and serious barbecue, to writing and editing.

A New Project

I am just about ready to move from the “Planning” stage to the “Ordering” stage in my latest project: Building a Factory Five Racing 65 Coupe. I have been thinking about building one of these even before I had a drivers’ license! A great sale is on this month – 50% off all accessories – so I need to finalize my configuration and place my order in less than two weeks.

The picture above (from a 3/22/12 post by vnmsss on the Factory Five Racing forum) is what I am talking about…. and is the color scheme that is close to what I have in mind – although I want black competition stripes.

Building a kit car will take two years, so this will generate a lot of content on this site!
