Well, we've sprung forward, whether we wanted to or not. And with the spring comes convention and fair season. We just covered the Game Developers Conference, are now at SXSW, and will cover Comic-Con in July, all from a unique maker's perspective. And then, of course, there's Maker Faire Bay Area (May 19 & 20) and a growing calendar of homegrown Maker Faires. We hope to see you out and about this spring, showing off what you've been working on.
