Just got off a meeting of the vermont makers core group Tonight we used a google hangout .. Which i never had used. It was actually fun and reasonably easy to use. It was a little strange using a virtual meeting tool when we all live within 20 miles of one another… But the tool lets you add special effects like funny hats and halos which are much harder to do in person.

I just love this group of people.. They are all so dedicated to growing the maker movement here in vermont. We are planning the calendar of activities for the rest of the year and most of next year. We’ve got some fun stuff coming up. We discussed topics Including book clubs, an art show at burlington city arts, programs on amateur radio, sustainability, civic hackathons and a program with vermont librarians. If you’re interested, you can follow what we’re up to at http://vermontmakers.org .

Actually.. While I’m talking about our coming programs, we looking for some good books for our book club meetings.. Know any good reads on technology, creativity, making things , etc ? Wed love to get your suggestions.

Ok.. Been online all day.. Time to switch off..
Nite all, nite sam
