We hope you've had a great summer and that you're using the good weather and extra free time to "get out there and make something!" as our friend Super Awesome Sylvia likes to say. If you didn't get a chance to experience Maker Faire in the Bay Area or Detroit, we hope we'll get to see you at World Maker Faire in New York (Sept. 17 & 18). Until we do get to geek out in person, here's a little late summer reading and some projects that might keep you busy. --Gareth
