Off to the maker faire

Update #4 · May 20, 2011 · comment

A few of you have asked if i will be at the Maker Faire this weekend at San Mateo. The answer is "Of course!"

Actually, I got some of my first feedback on switchhooks from the maker community one year ago. However, this year I do not have a booth of my own this year.

I will be helping friends with their booths and yes of course I will have samples and prototypes with me. I will be at maker booth #5182 - DIY Flame Tree on saturday and I will be at the e-Textile lounge all day sunday.

Come swing by and say "Hi!"

Dear Switchhooks backers,

Thanks for your support. We are just shy of one week in to our campaign and going strong. With your help Switchhooks has raised $1600 in just under 6 days. Woohoo!

We have still have a good ways to go in the remaining time. I just re-edited to put more emphasis on the concept of "It is time to go, do you know where your keys are?" Please share the link http://kck.st/hJBSHT with your friends. 

Thanks again and please help spread the word about the campaign!

Best,

Andy
