Hello all, This is me as a non-BBC person for the moment- next weekend is the the first Brighton Mini Maker Faire http://on.fb.me/MakerFaireBTN ( http://www.makerfairebrighton.com/ for those of you with an aversion to the use of Facebook- it is a very handy platform for these public things though!). It's just what you'd expect from a Brighton celebration of technical creativity, with everything from underwater robots to silk origami classes, plus the obligatory Arduino powered automatic ukelele.
And after the fun at the Dome, there's even an after party, with live music from distinctly hackery musicians! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=145777618832903 ( http://www.makerfairebrighton.com/2011/08/29/play-an-evening-of-maker-musicians-at-the-after-show-party/) NOTA BENE: The event is at the Brunswick, Holland Road, not the Caroline of Brunswick. If you can help us spread the word about this fist of what we hope will be many events, you could even win a copy of the latest Make Magazine- yes, I am spamming you and bribing you! http://www.makerfairebrighton.com/2011/08/22/make-magazine-twitter-competition/ All this is part of the fabulous Brighton Digital Festival http://brightondigitalfestival.co.uk/which runs throughout September, and includes such favourites as the evergreen dConstruct conference http://2011.dconstruct.org/, the original Geekest Link Quiz at the Caroline of Brunswick http://www.carolineofbrunswick.co.uk/ and the 6th Barcamp Brighton http://2011.barcampbrighton.org/. Hope you can join us for some if not al of these brilliant events, and if you can spread the word too that would be superb. Sadly I shan't see you there if you do make it- badly wrecked my neck a few weeks back and will be completely immobile until an op later this month- gory details at my blog http://reithian.blogspot.com/. Cheers all, and sorry for the spam (though it's more public info really, you know, all good fun) Ant -- Ant Miller tel: 07709 265961 email: ant.mil...@gmail.com @meeware http://reithian.blogspot.com/
