Interview Today

Scott Light from EVB Live posted this today;

Remember Joey Hudy? He launched the marshmellow at the White House with President Obama. We did a follow-up story with Joey today and he's interning this summer at Microchip. Joey is 15 years old! I was mowing yards at 15 to earn summer money.

New T-Shirt

Thanks Element 14 for the shirt. Everyone knows how I only wear company t-shirts!!

Record if BROKEN

This is sooo cool! I couldn't believe how many people visited my blog after I meet the President. There was 5,501 visits the entire month of February.
After only 3 days we hit 5,546. Thanks Raspberry Pi. I can't even believe that many people would look at my blog. Its so cool.
Thanks for your support

Record could be broken :)

The page views in the last two days are about to pass the views from meeting the President of the United States!
That's amazing.

If you are here for the first time - Welcome and Enjoy. :)

Please help support my Journey to Maker Faire. I happen to think - if everyone that visited donated $1.00 - I would reach my goal. Kinda crazy.

Happy Tuesday

Hi Everyone ~
Sorry for not posting lately. Joey has of course started his internship at Microchip! Out the door at 7 and home at 7. Next week he will start working only 3 days a week...more time to MAKE!
He's been working on his Tesla Coil a lot lately with Luis.
He's very excited to work with his Raspberry Pi!

He definitely has not been BORED! But still MAKING something!

Hope to see you all this summer.

Our (fingers crossed) schedule is: Maker Faire Kansas, Maker Faire Detroit and Maker Faire New York.
