It's mere weeks away from World Maker Faire in New York City. This always brings a heightened sense of excitement about what we do and reflections on why. There has been a lot of that recently: Maker Camp, the 3D printing weekend, and putting another issue (Volume 32) to bed. Making MAKE can be a humbling experience.
