Super busy day.. two nice hilights. I had a great late  Vietnamese  lunch with my friend  Byung  who’s a prof at UVM.. I also had an after work beer meeting planned with my Vermont Maker friends. It didn’t make sense to make the hour roundtrip back home.. so I decided to work downtown.. I drove down to the lake and worked for a couple of hours on one of the swinging benches there.. It was so beautiful looking out across the lake 

 

this guy was under my swign for the wole time. 

 

 

at 5:30 Jen. Ken and Rebekah and I met at Burlington Bay. We hadn’t gotten together in about a year. THe four of us were part of the organizing movment for  several of the maker things that are now in Burlington . We also held  a bunch of speaker events and workshops that brought together the the folks that icreated several of the maker institutions  we have around today including the Generator, the VT Fablag at UVM, the Champlain maker space and the Essex fablab and the Champlain makerfaire. It was fun lookign back on that.  We’re tryign to think up soem projects to do as a group this coming year that builds on all those great groups we have around here now.. It’s so much fun to brainstorm 

 

 

it’s also fun to eat ice cream, french fries and beer on a  beautifulVermont  summer evening .
