“The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created — created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.”
—John Schaar, futurist

Start-ups are part of the mix at Maker Faire. Although many other projects — the personal, the fanciful, the educational — get more attention, a significant number of participants are trying out a business idea, taking advantage of the instant test market that Maker Faire offers. http://bit.ly/191Fkw0

MythBuster and über-maker Adam Savage has been giving something of a keynote speech at Maker Faires since 2008, and his talks always draw huge crowds. Each year he covers a topic to educate and inspire the makers, from the usefulness of failure, to thinking about why people love to make. This year, his message was a simple creed for makers to follow: “Work hard, and work smart.” http://bit.ly/17V5t0A
