So...when are you going to admit that Bre is gone forever:(
| Posted by: DU on February 22, 2008 at 8:33 AM |
They already admitted he's gone forever, but they haven't yet admitted that Weekend Projects is dead.

Rest in peace Bre. We loved you man.
I'm sure he's tinkering in the great workshop in the sky.

I heard that Bre went to live in the land called Etsy. Sad, he was one of the few people involved with this blog that actually generated interesting content of his own on a regular basis.

Wait, seriously, whats going on with Bre? There havent been any new Weekend projects and hes not on the list of authors anymore.
Can anyone confirm anything?

From brepettis.com:
"Bre Pettis produces new media for Etsy.com, the marketplace for handmade goods. In his recent past, he's been host of Make: Magazine's Weekend Projects podcast, a schoolteacher, artist, and a puppeteer. Bre is passionate about invention, innovation, and all things DIY."
sounds like he moved on to greener pastures.

He isnt dead guys... He went off to follow other passions or somthing like that. There is apparently a new show coming along similar to weekend projects. Maybe they are going to ask the make community to do stuff??

| Posted by: paul on February 23, 2008 at 10:37 AM |
I wonder if the spring plowing and planting will help the payload get itself found . . . . that was quite an ambitious project and I bet the images will be great.
| Posted by: 3ricj on March 2, 2008 at 3:30 AM |
The payload was never found.
The folks over at PNA who worked on the first launch are going at it again this spring.. all I want to share for now is that we won't be chasing this payload.. it will be autonomously flying back to us. :)
Bre is not dead - - he was last seen in the below photo, right before the zombies ate is brain:
