Maker Faire Earns a Coveted American Magazine Vanguard Award
The first American Magazine Vanguard Awards recognizes magazines that are innovating, extending their brands, and finding new exciting ways to connect with their customers. And O'Reilly Media's Make snared an AMVA award because of the creation of Maker Faire, which celebrates DIYers and crafters of every persuasion. "Considering that some of the greatest leaps forward in American technological history have been scrappy homebrews (Apple Computer was a literal garage start-up), it's really kind of exciting to think that, given its explosive growth, the Maker Faire might well help along an invention or two that's truly important," writes Simon Dumenco. Read on to find out more about Maker Faire Austin, which opens Oct. 18.

Q&A with Gareth Branwyn, Editor of the Maker's Notebook
Ask some DIY-ers what they want in a notebook (as the folks over at Make magazine did recently) and you’ll get a truckload of opinions. The Make staffers boiled down the input and came up with an electric blue notebook. In true maker style, this notebook is born/designed to be hacked. Recently I got a chance to chat about the new Maker’s Notebook with Make contributing editor, Gareth Branwyn.
