In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Houston makers have already been using their skills and imagination to help rebuild communities. And Maker Faire Houston, happening this Saturday and Sunday, October 21st and 22nd, is going to challenge them. As Maker Faire Houston celebrates its fifth anniversary, David Brunet and Andrew Lynch, two of its three co-founders , discussed the ways they've reached out to local makers.  For 2017 especially, Maker Faire Houston has asked to showcase their ideas, even beyond what they've done in the past. (Photo courtesy of Maker Faire Houston, and used with permission.) The result: some exciting keynotes, new educational sessions geared towards teachers, startups, a pitch competition, and lots of fun.  And they're having Houston's first-ever David and Andrew are the President and Vice-President, respectively, of nonprofit Innovation Spark.  In addition to producing Maker Faire Houston as its flagship event, Innovation Spark is dedicated to advancing STEM education in the Houston area.  Innovation Spark furthers that mission with additional events throughout the year, including Comic Palooza and mini maker faires at local schools. Andrew and David talked about their Maker Faire experiences, the creation of Maker Faire, five years ago, and what 2017 Maker Faire Houston visitors can experience, as makers go "Houston Strong". On this edition of Over Coffee® you'll hear: The surprise David received at his first Maker Faire, in San Mateo; How David, Andrew and fellow co-founder Mike Kinkel came to create Houston's Maker Faire; "Don't miss" features at Houston's Maker Faire 2017; What's going to be going on at Houston Maker Faire's first "Raspberry Jam" session, with Raspberry Pi; What attendees can look forward to, for keynote presentations; How the Houston Maker Faire is working to inspire and rebuild Houston after Hurricane Harvey; What will be available, in the areas of educational workshops for teachers; How a high-school activity sparked Andrew's passion for robotics; What First Robotics will be offering for students; A preview of the 3D printing and virtual reality activities onsite; What arts and crafts opportunities will be available to younger attendees; How the Houston Maker Faire has led to some startups' success

Podcast Notes Justin Knight and Brandon Knight talk a bit about their background and how they got into technology and startups. They have always worked together on projects and at companies. See Figure 1. Justin is the Vice President of Operations at MacroFab. Brandon is the Director of Customer Success at MacroFab. The Houston Maker Faire was a lot of fun for Brandon and Parker. Lots of MacroFab's customers where there showing off their new products. See Figure 2 for a signing fish. Another Kind of Cloud: The Internet of Farts. A geolocating fart tracker with food logs. Brandon thinks it should be able to measure the intensity of the fart as well. Crowd Source your funding. Crowdfunding site Indiegogo has partnered with equity crowdfunding startup Microventures to allow anyone to invest in startups. Parker thinks this is basically allowing people to invest in companies that could not get funding in a traditional way through venture capitalists which will lead to lots of people losing their investments. Venture capitalism into companies is one of the hardest investments to make a profit from where only a few groups actually outperform traditional investments.   Macs Don’t have replaceable harddrives now.

Podcast Notes MacroFab will be at the Houston Maker Faire this weekend. Stop by and meet us! The FX Dev board's crowd funding campaign is almost ready to launch. The video for it is in post production now. It is awesome and Stephen can't wait to upload it. The fixture Parker designed for the selective solder is working. Allows 16"x16" panels on the machine while supporting the middle with a magnet. Stephen has been adjusting the machine to make it fit. See Figure 1. Parker's LED clock idea will need some slight revising after he did a bit of napkin math and realized his clock will take almost 3kW of power to light up all the segments. The MacroDuino Light Tower will be at Maker Faire. It is using a TGS2602 to measure VOC levels in the air. Stephen needs to repair his Hakko FR-300 Desoldering Gun. Unfortunately Hakko does not sell the part he needs.  Visual Guide to the Best Hacker T-Shirts. The MacroFab shirt is missing from this collection. We must fix that! See Figure 2. Samsung can’t catch a break. Top loading washing machines exploding. The washing machine top can unexpectedly detach from the washing machine chassis during use, posing a risk of injury from impact. SciShow Space. This is the channel Stephen mentioned. Video about the Pioneer probes being off course. Special thanks to whixr over at Tymkrs for the intro and outro!
