David sez, "Maker Faire UK (Newcastle) is coming back for its third year. Over 150 Makers came earlier this year to show their creations. We had everything from arachnid robots, lollipop pies, mechanical horses and musical Tesla coils.
This year we are looking for more creative makers, talented tinkerers, nifty knitters, boffin bakers, hardware hackers and ingenious engineers. Embracing all aspects of DIY creativity, the makersare invited to share their creations at Maker Faire Newcastle 2011, part of the Newcastle Science Fest (March 12th-13th , 2011).
Anybody with a Maker project to show off should get themselves to www.makerfaireuk.com before November 26th to register."
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
