Soooo, you’ve decided to give up TV (or at least cut back substantially), now what to do with all your extra free time?
For those who like to make things, Maker-Faire has a ton of ideas and inspiration.
My hubby and I, went to the May 2009 San Mateo Maker Faire, and had a very interesting (and fun) time.

Yes, it really was a lot of fun.
We were there 6 hours, and we still didn’t
have time to see everything.
What I really liked about it too, was that
there was such a range of people… lots
of children, lots of artsy people,
tech people, artsy/tech people, etc..
