Attention West Coast makers! I recently acquired two admissions to Maker Faire Bay Area, scheduled for May 19th and 20th, 2012. Unfortunately, due to year-round college courses, I don't have the resources or free time to take a weekend trip to California. So I'd like to give my tickets away to someone who can actually use them. Here are the rules:
-You have until 12:00 NOON PST on 2012-05-02 to leave a comment on this blog. I will accept as many entries as I get until this time.
-You can only enter once. Multiple entries will not be accepted.
-You must be able to attend the event.
-You must be able to use both tickets.
-Your comment must include a link to the project that you are most proud of completing(or currently working on).
-Your comment must include some method of contacting you in the event that you win.
-I will choose one entry at random (draw from a hat) to win the two tickets. The winner's name will be added to the Will Call list for the Maker Faire.
So what are you waiting for?
The project I'm most proud of is a program I wrote a few years ago that used genetic and evolutionary algorithms to create virtual "painters" that create art based on the user's tastes.
ReplyDeleteI have been learning Processing lately in an effort to revive the project, but I don't have anything to show. Unfortunately my old code isn't working for some reason, but I came in third place in the 2006 UofO Graduate Research Poster Contest as you can see here: http://bit.ly/jb_evoart . And you can see the poster I created for the 2006 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation here: http://bit.ly/jb_poster .
Anyway, I would LOVE to have those tickets. My son (almost 7) and I will definitely go. We just went to RoboGames and he is excited for Maker Faire.
If I am fortunate enough to be the winner, please contact me at jberghoff at yahoo dot com.
Thanks!
Hi, I am a graduate mechanical engineering student from SJSU.
ReplyDeleteI love hands on things, have taught graduate/undergrad level MEMS /microfluidic devices design and fabrication.
Recently, one of my research work was published in SPIE check out the doi:10.1117/12.2005681
My older brother is interested in start ups, himself have a couple of patents.
Going to maker fair would be awesome! I always wanted to check it out.
