From the creators of Make Magazine comes the Maker's Notebook. Put your own ideas, diagrams, calculations & notes down in these 150 pages of engineering graph paper. We've also included 20 bonus pages of reference material, from useful stuff like electronics symbols, resistor codes, weights and measures, basic conversions and more, to really useful stuff like the amount of caffeine in different caffeinated beverages and how to say "Hello, World!" in various computer languages. The covers of this hardcover book are printed in cyan "Maker" blue with a white grid debossed front and back. (Big thanks to MAKE for their donation of these prizes).

I'm the co-founder of Providence Geeks and the RI Mini Maker Faire. I'm also a Senior Editor with the publisher of MAKE—O'Reilly Media, who spreads the knowledge of innovators through technology books, online services, and tech conferences.
Thanks to both of you; I really appreciate the support. And thanks, Brian, for giving us the push needed to take us past our goal! I can't wait until Saturday. We've got a great lineup of Makers, and it's really shaping up to be a wonderful weekend!
I'm with Steve...Maker Faire is a huge way to promote all things creative in Providence, Rhode Island, and beyond. I upped my ante tonight in hopes that others will do the same or match with creative energy on Saturday.
Looking forward to a great day o' making!
Can't wait for the Maker Faire! Last year was so much fun. I believe the event is critical to cultivating the creative economy, entrepreneurship, and the arts in the state.
