This year, in the lead-up to and during the Faire, we wanted to gather together a little ad hoc community of makers who are presenting at the event and ask them to do some posts for us. We want you to be able to look over their shoulders to get a sense of what’s going into their preparations, and through their minds — what they’re psyched about, nervous about, what they’re excited to see at the Faire

So designer Eric Ku made this chair out of the letters in the word chair, so you can sit while you spell. Think it would be possible to build a generic set of letters that you could use to build anything that you spelled out?

We can’t say enough on the importance of protecting our privacy these days. In the height of criticisms against Facebook’s privacy issues and of scams involving stolen credit and debit card numbers , the story of Google’s roaming Street View cameras could not come at a worse time. Last week, Google admitted that its roaming Street View cameras, riding around neighborhoods throughout the world to collect data for its mapping service, have been doing more than what it is supposed to do.
With the scams that plague online transactions these days, it is of utmost importance to ensure the safety and reliability of the online payment methods we use. Most would like to avoid entering their credit card or debit card information every time they make an online purchase to minimize the risks. Two common third party processors that effectively shield customer information from retailers are Paypal and Google Checkout.
