About: I'm an editor and writer for Make. I'm also one of the volunteer system administrators and all-around geeks for AS220, a non-profit, unjuried arts center in Providence, RI where gallery space, darkrooms, stages, artist studios, and other resources are readily available to artists--anyone can exhibit or perform.
At the Maker Faire, you can find me working in or near the Make Store. I'll be helping out with the kit demos and the booth we're setting up for the Hacks authors to answer your questions about things you want to hack!
