Diane's sleeping so i need to resort to typing again.. So no voice dictation.. I apologize for my spelling up front. Hmmmm.. What happened noteworthy today.. I guess the high point of the day were late afternoon meetings for next years Champlain Maikfaire at shelburne farms.(its gonna be so great !) .. And the UVM SEED engineering show at the davis center later this evening. <\/p>\n

The makerfaire meeting was one of the steady cadence of meetings. Have to build on last years makierfaire success. It w a beutiul evening for the meeting. The trees were just coming out at shelbourne frms. If only we could get weather like this for the maikerfaire. It was cold and rainy..then But we still ended up with about 3 times more folks than we expected… .. (Almost 1700 !)<\/p>\n

We spent an hour talking about next years event..what kind of makers should we have ? What kind of massive collaboration event can we create ? What kind of food makers should we invite ? If you have a suggestion for next years event.. We'd love to have them now !<\/p>\n

After that, i headed to to the UVM davis center to see the annual SEED capstone engineering class project display. Last year we had our kinect with echo piece here. This year there was some cool stuff… Like this theremin <\/p>\n
