Especially with the excitement building around the upcoming Maker Faire Bay Area, I highly recommend this fantastic video from Mini Maker Faire Toronto which asks what it means to be a maker. Ryan Varga, the video’s creator says, “this film is about that question. It is about the relationship between people and technology and how they merge through the act of making. Call it ‘craft in an age of digital fabrication.’” Also check out Ryan’s other video on this subject entitled We Make Things. [via Boing Boing]











This is great, thanks for the doc. I wasn’t able to make this one but I’m eager to get to one now.
Great doc. Thanks!
