The first issue showcased a kite aerial photography project by Cris Benton, exemplifying ingenious solutions like using popsicle sticks and a Silly Putty Viscous Timer. They reminisced about early decision-making, the importance of design, challenges in documenting projects, and how the community's growth influenced by Maker Faires. The script highlights the magazine's impact on the maker movement, transitioning into various mediums and reflecting on personal anecdotes from team members over the years. The call ends with updates on their current pursuits and the lasting significance of Make: Magazine.https://make.co/make-cast/

Are you a chaos muppet or an order muppet? Knowing the answer to this very important question can help you unlock your B2B marketing potential. Here's why.There's magic chemistry that happens when a chaos muppet joins forces with an order muppet. (Replace the word “muppet” with “marketer” in this instance.) It's like a marketing power couple. You need the wildly outside-of-the-box thinking of the chaos side tempered with the composed, organized, planning mind of the order side to create truly remarkable content. It's these two energies that work synchronistically to create content worth talking about.So in this episode, we're looking back at nearly 70 years of Muppet history and one Slate article that made us ponder, “What kind of muppet am I?” And break down all of the wild and wondrous things muppets can teach us about B2B marketing with the help of CircleCI's Director of Content Marketing, Gillian Jakob Kieser. Together, we talk about allowing some of that chaos into your campaigns, developing useful and evergreen content, and how to work through the riskiness of creating something original in this episode of Remarkable.About CircleCICircleCI lets teams build fully-automated pipelines, from testing to deployment, allowing them to focus on the real work of innovation. Using CircleCI, engineers can automate their entire testing suite for new commits, reducing the potential for human error, while using orbs to automate deploys.About The Muppets and Muppet Chaos TheoryThe Muppets is an American television show featuring a cast of puppets performing various skits. The beloved characters include Kermit, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Beaker, Animal, The Swedish Chef, and more. It was created by Jim Henson in 1955, and has been around for nearly 7 decades. It was originally a short-form tv show called Sam and Friends, and it's now grown into a media franchise with lots of spin offs including movies, music, and tv appearances. The franchise was owned by The Jim Henson Company until 2004 when Disney bought it. Jim Henson once suggested that the term “muppet” comes from combining the words “puppet” and “marionette.”Muppet Theory is a theory posed by Slate writer Dahlia Lithwick that everyone in the world is either a chaos muppet or an order muppet. Chaos muppets are crazy, volatile, unpredictable. Like Animal, Cookie Monster, or The Swedish Chef. Order muppets are anxious, neurotic and don't like surprises. Like Kermit the Frog, Scooter, or Sam the Eagle. Order muppets often choose Chaos muppets as lifelong partners, like Bert the order muppet and Ernie the chaos muppet or Kermit as the order muppet and Miss Piggy as the chaos one.About our guest, Gillian Jakob KieserGillian Jakob Kieser is Director of Content Marketing at CircleCI. She has been with CircleCI for over six years, having started in June 2017 as Content Marketing Manager, and their first content hire as a growing startup. She has also served in marketing roles at companies like Prismatic and MAKE Magazine.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Muppets and Muppet Theory: Incorporate both chaos and order into your marketing. Team up with your chaos or order counterpart to make new content. Or create some content that's very structured and some that's very unstructured. Gillian says that it's these different energies that make successful collaborations in marketing. “They really need to have both the order aspect and the chaos aspect to make something feel alive and authentic. If you over plan it, it's dead in the water. It's dry and predictable. And if it's too much chaos, you never can get it out the door because no one knows what time anything is happening. So you always need to have both order and chaos on a team or in a program.”Mix the real and the fantastical. This creates playful and captivating visuals, and engages the viewers' willing suspension of disbelief. Gillian says, “There's this aspect of these fantastical creatures in a real world scenario that appeals to adults as well as children. Because children really have a sense for the authentic, and they know that there's something about this world that is real and that they can learn from, that it's not just watered down and catered to them. There's something about that that I think has set them apart and has always been really appealing.”Trust the intelligence of your audience. The Muppet Show is not just for children. There were signs in the cigarette-smoking, Studebaker-driving scenes that Jim Henson was appealing to more mature viewers as well. Like Jim Henson, give your audience all the information you have for them, and don't oversimplify it. Gillian says, “Jim Henson and his crew never played down to their audience. There was so much intelligence and so many references, and it was very high reaching for something that could have conceivably been, ‘Oh, this is just for kids.' It feels like Jim Henson was the first one in exploring that space, of elevating this art form to something that had a lot of depth that you wouldn't expect to see coming from puppets.”Quotes*“[The Muppets is] a testament to taking risks, just going for it and not knowing. It might not have worked out, but it did in the long run. Some of our efforts at creative projects, branding or anything else like that are sometimes a little bit of a shot in the dark.” - Gillian Jakob Kieser*”I was thinking, ‘Okay, where is there order and chaos in our current content strategy?' The blog is very orderly. We've learned a lot about SEO and how to answer people's questions with technical tutorials. And then we've got a podcast with our CTO interviewing folks. That's much more of a chaos aspect because you never know where the conversation's gonna go, but he's standing in and asking the questions that the audience wants to ask. And it's very funny and we're not selling in that show at all. We're creating affinity, trust, informing, educating and being able to share our perspective on how our industry works with others.” - Gillian Jakob Kieser*”The ad copy is another place where we test wildly. There's been times when we throw in something that's ungrammatical because you know it's gonna catch someone's eye. Or put a question mark at the end of something to get their attention. And then you can make the connection. But that order and chaos marriage shows up everywhere.” - Gillian Jakob Kieser*”There's a time and a place for things. There's concentric circles of stuff that needs to be really on brand that the legal team needs to look at and everyone has to check off on it. And then stuff that as you get further out has more of a buffer of forgiveness for being off-brand at times.” - Gillian Jakob Kieser*”If you want to feel like your entire brand is super buttoned up always, and it's only on official channels, you have to know that your marketing is gonna be boring. Because there's no humanity in it. People buy people. If you're trying to get people to commit to you with emotion and you're using the opposite of that, how effective is it really gonna be?” - Ian FaisonTime Stamps[0:54] Introducing CircleCI Director of Content Marketing, Gillian Jakob Kieser[1:39] Why are we talking about The Muppets?[4:03] Learn more about Gillian's role as Director of Content Marketing at CircleCI[5:33] What are The Muppets?[8:37] How did Jim Henson create evergreen content in The Muppets?[10:54] How do you work through the riskiness of making original content?[15:04] What is Muppet Chaos Theory?[16:59] How does Muppet Chaos Theory apply to collaborative work and marketing?[21:00] How does CircleCI use chaos and order in their marketing strategy?[31:09] How to humanize your content, and the value of human-generated content in the age of AI[34:24] What's Gillian's content strategy at CircleCI?[37:30] The difference in making remarkable evergreen content versus sensational content[39:09] How did Gillian grow her team and advocate for the value of more content creators?[41:57] How do you choose the channels worth posting content to?LinksWatch The Muppet ShowRead the Slate articleConnect with Gillian on LinkedInLearn more about CircleCIAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Over nine years ago, Raspberry PI was created by a small team, led by Eben Upton as a kind of academic side project. This single board computer was a PC without a keyboard, a monitor, any kind of enclosure, an inexpensive board that could be connected to power and other USB devices. It was completely open to whatever you wanted to do with. Raspberry Pi has had big impact by going small.For Volume 79 of Make: Magazine, our board's issue, Executive Editor, Mike Senese talked to Eben Upton of the Raspberry PI Foundation. They mostly talk about the technical details of the new Raspberry Pi's. An edited transcript of the interview, which was published in Make: Vol 79, is linked here:https://makezine.com/2021/10/27/eben-upton-raspberry-pi-exciting-year-new-pi-zero-2-w/

In this episode we continue our conversation with Gabriel Levinson, founder of ANTIBOOKCLUB, a tiny, indie publishing house. ANTIBOOKCLUB works tirelessly to bring readers "the wild, the stunning, the essential since 2011." This conversation was recorded in December of 2020. Gabriel Levinson started ANTIBOOKCLUB by himself, publishing about one book per year. While working for Make Magazine in Chicago and Penguin Random House (among other day jobs) Gabriel has spent his nights, weekends, and any money he can scrape up to make the books he believes need to see the light of day (or the light of a reading lamp). Here are some of ANTIBOOKCLUB's accolades, according to their website: "Beautiful Gravity was named an ALA Stonewall Honor Book of 2017 and was a Lambda Literary Awards finalist (it was also rated one of the top book cover designs of the year by Electric Literature and The New York Times Book Review); The End of the World was adapted into the Academy Award-nominated film World of Tomorrow; and the surreal, subversive "shock novel" The Diesel has an entry and essay in The Global Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Literature. Many of our titles have been taught in universities and high schools across the United States.We are a small but dedicated crew who count world-renown authors, translators, and designers among our ranks. We are here to shatter and shape your literary sensibilities, one book at a time."ANTIBOOKCLUB recently published a collection of never before published works by Terry Southern, entitled The Hipsters. It was a decade-long project that Gabriel worked on closely with Terry Southern's son, Nile. Also recently published is Silver Skin, a coming-of-age novel written by Spanish author Javier Calvo, "an elegy to the transformative powers of art, imagination, and the imagined other."In Part Two of The Degenerates, we talk about Gabriel's experience publishing Practical Blasphemy, the fictionalized memoir of author LJT, featured in Episode 3 of the podcast. We talk about eBooks and ANTIBOOKCLUB's evolution on its stance regarding them; ANTI's relationship with Amazon and Gabriel's decision to pull his books from their shelves; German media firm Bertelsmann and its acquisition of yet another giant in publishing; Bookshop.org, and more. We think this episode is of particular interest to readers and writers who want to know more about the editing process and how our choices in how and where we purchase books affects both the publishing ecosystem itself and our exposure to new content.You don't want to miss this conversation with Gabriel Levinson, a brilliant, frustrated, dedicated, bitingly funny renegade publisher.

This week's EYE ON NPI is hittin' the books - we're featuring the Digi-Key Electronics Innovation Handbook (https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/innovation-handbook) this week - which was just released so it's very New and Fresh. We just got ours in the mail! The Digi-Key Innovation Handbook is your guide to keeping some of the most highly referenced content from Digi-Key at your fingertips while giving you plenty of room to keep your thoughts, projects, and ideas at hand. We highlight concepts, formulas, components and electronic staples so you can refer to them at any time. From reference tables and schematic symbols to resistors through Raspberry Pi's the Innovation Handbook is the first place to look for all your project needs. It also includes over 120 grid-lined note pages for you to use any way you see fit. Of course, we couldn't fit it all in the book so below you will find additional information to go more in-depth into each of the topics included in the printed edition. This book is reminiscent of the Maker Notebook that Make Magazine released many years ago (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/o-reilly-media/9781680456639/13625835). Its still a great notebook, and has a hard cover which we love - so you have reason to buy both! The Innovation Notebook has some overlapping information, but is much more up to date. For example, it's got modern board pinouts like Feather, Teensy and Raspberry Pi. There's even the new RP2040 Pico! The resistor diagram is in full color (which really helps since the number bands are rainbowy). There's also a lot of reference parts - so if you just need "a servo" or "an SMD red LED" there's part numbers ready to go for you to reference. I'm a huge fan of that because there's definitely the most popular of each part, and for many makers and beginners, they should just get that part rather than spending a lot of time in the Digi-Key search system. In the front, there's 40 pages of references and diagrams, and then there's 120 gridded pages, so it's definitely designed to be a scientific/design notebook, not just a technical reference. Right now it's V1.0 of the book, and there's probably a lot more stuff that they could add or improve. Please feel free to send comments, thoughts and future recommendations to support@maker.io to help make sure the next edition is even better. This notebook makes for an excellent gift for any student or maker, and at a great price. If you've got a cart going at Digi-Key, you can add one of these in - there's hundreds of Innovation Notebooks in stock right now (https://www.digikey.com/short/mf58fmj8) and at least books aren't impacted by the component shortage! If you want to check out the PDFs or other engineering resources, visit https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/innovation-handbook for online tools, calculators, printouts and more.

Like many of us during Covid-19, Benjamin Cabé was baking sourdough bread at home in France. He wondered how he might tell if his dough was done proofing. He began working on an artificial nose that uses physical sensors to detect gas but also uses machine learning to identify the smell. His project is on the cover of Make Magazine, v 77. In this conversation, we talk about how his nose works, how it knows what it does and the limits of what it knows.Links: About Make Magazine - Vol 77 - https://makezine.com/2021/05/05/announcing-make-vol-77-machine-learning-and-more/Buy Make Magazine - Vol 77 - https://www.makershed.com/products/make-magazine-volume-77-print How Burnt food smells - http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.728.1596&rep=rep1&type=pdfArtificial Nose - Github Repo - https://github.com/kartben/artificial-nose

"All instruments are inventions and all music is made up -- so make your own using microcontrollers," writes Helen Leigh in Volume 76 of Make Magazine, encouraging people to create and invent musical instruments, as she has. In this conversation with Helen Leigh, we learn about her upbringing in Wales, how she first learned about electronics at a makerspace in London, why she objects to call herself "self-taught" and her new lab in Portland Oregon. She came from a family that consumed lots of music and her early musical experiences were singing choral music in church in Wales. Her work today still bears the influences of sounds of the high church of her childhood. We talk about why harpsichords went of out fashion and how electronic music got started with pioneers such as Daphne Oram and Delia Derbyshire.We talk about technology from reel-to-reel tape recorders to synthesizers and to making electronic music with Makey-Makey and the Bela board. Helen is an advocate for people learning how to make their own instruments, to experiment with music and be makers of your own kind of music.https://makezine.com/2021/03/24/making-new-music-with-helen-leigh

Today on Let's Talk About Brand, we're talking about personal branding with Katie and Mario Marchese. Mario is better known as Mario the Maker Magician. He has been a magician for over 15 years, and he really breaks the mold!Mario has been called “the greatest children's magician in the world” by magician David Blaine, who he's also toured the world with. He has taught his own special brand of Maker Magic to Murray the Muppet on Sesame Street. He has also done a whole ton of live programming with Make Magazine. Normally, he's touring all over the place with his family and his co-adventurer, Katie Marchese. Katie, in addition to being Mario's wife and keeping their personal life going, is also his manager, his co-adventurer, road trip buddy, and they've got their kids in on the action too!Mario and Katie had been touring all over the country until March, when the pandemic abruptly canceled all performances. However, they've been able to continue their show in a different way. They've been broadcasting from their home, where they've designed a set in their very own attic!The traditional image of a children's magician would probably include a tux, top hat, and a black cape with red lining. However, Mario has created his own aesthetic, which has a punk rock, steampunk, Vaudevillian feel. In a cover piece for MUM Magazine, writer Chloe Olewitz summed Mario up perfectly as, “magic's punk rock Peter Pan philosopher.” This episode was broadcast as a livestream on September 25, 2020. It has been edited from its original format.***Follow Christine Gritmon on Twitter: @cgritmon and join her each Tuesday for the #ChatAboutBrand Twitter chatSubscribe to the Let's Talk About Brand Newsletter that goes out every Monday to ensure you don't miss a beat!Listen to Let's Talk About Brand on your favorite podcast platform!You can listen and subscribe to all of Adweek's podcasts by visiting adweek.com/podcasts.Stay updated on all things Adweek Podcast Network by following us on Twitter: @adweekpodcasts.And if you have a question or suggestions for the show, send us an email at podcast@adweek.com.

The Next Frontier Thesis Today's front-line innovators, entrepreneurs, and creative core (all whom if not already will be tomorrow's leaders) grow up and learn their craft, not through the traditional academic system (in which many are enrolled), but through a complex web of innovation-enabling resources and infrastructure. Over the past 20 years, since the dotcom boom, we've seen the rise of the novel, memetic innovation tools, infrastructure, and incentives. These innovation tools have helped “entrepre-neers” (entrepreneur + engineer) create billion-dollar-plus companies, billions of dollars of economic value, and save millions of lives. For example, ever-popular hackathons started in the heat of the dotcom bubble on June 4th, 1999 in Calgary, Alberta when the earliest open software community OpenBSD held the first-ever hackathon. Then in 2005, Make Magazine published its first issue, marking a formal starting point for the powerful maker movement. That same year, the thread continues to Y-Combinator: the first-of-it's-kind startup accelerator. These and so many more pieces of the puzzle are critical to the unprecedented wave of innovation we are seeing today. Through the Next Frontier Podcast, I am attempting to break down the complex web of resources enabling not only rapid innovation but the rapid training of innovators. I hope that the episodes that follow serve as a hyper-tactical road map for young entrepreneurs, innovators, and creators at the start of their journeys. Further, I aim to emphasize and dive into actionable ways that seasoned entrepreneurs, the corporate world, and other established institutions can tap into the lively energy of young trailblazers through this same complex web of core-level innovation infrastructure. And finally, I hope that this thesis serves as a north star for parents looking to give their kids the competitive edge of resourcefulness, knowing what resources are out there and how to use them. Knowledge and awareness are power; please listen on to take the power that is rightfully yours. Ad Astra, Max Goldberg One more note….

After Maker Faire Prague, Prusa let Tom, 3D Printing Nerd and 3D Maker Noob have their studio for an hour to jam about recent 3D printing topics! In this episode, we talk about the demise of Maker Media, the creators of Make Magazine and licencors of Maker Faires - and what that means for the future of faires in general. In other news, a CR-10 caught fire and a Twitter user was caught advertising a 3D printer with photos stolen from several community members. And for the "big" topic, we fantasize about the future of consumer / maker / "low end" 3D printers and what there even is left to improve. Which... gets a bit awkward. ### SHOW NOTES ### 3D Printing Nerd's channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_7aK9PpYTqt08ERh1MewlQ 3D Maker Noob's channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Tc0TsvFxC83zF1w5x1PWQ Maker Media ceases operation https://hackaday.com/2019/06/07/maker-media-ceases-operations/ CR-10 is lit https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/bxxjsw/creality_printers_is_having_a_fire_sale/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app and https://m.facebook.com/?_rdr#!/groups/1642675669368828?view=permalink&id=2090505217919202&anchor_composer=false "Felanfeli" stealing photos https://twitter.com/Barnacules/status/1138600958156369921?s=19 (and others)

What's the Future? The “Oracle of Silicon Valley” shares his contrarian thoughts about technology, capitalism, and preparing for the big shifts on the horizon. This week we're talking with futurist and author of the book “WTF: What's the Future?” Tim O'Reilly. Although he's not a manufacturer himself, his insightful perspectives are useful for anyone who wants to be prepared for a future driven by technology trends. You might not have heard Tim's name before, but you probably know his work. He popularized terms like open source and Web 2.0. As an early evangelist for the maker movement, he and his firm O'Reilly Media started Make Magazine and Maker Faire. And he's been an early champion of the Internet of Things. Going way back, he wrote about the world wide web before most of us ever heard about it, back in 1994. I was curious, given Tim's superpowers in identifying trends, where he thinks technology is going today and how it will impact the future of work and business. We talk about his thoughts on the role of capitalism and Silicon Valley. He also shares ideas from his book and many others (links below). I ask Tim how to predict the future, and he tells me that's the wrong question. But, he gives us excellent tips for identifying trends and some really provocative ideas about our role as entrepreneurs in developing a just and abundant world for everyone. He's a deep thinker, and it's no surprise he's been called The Oracle of Silicon Valley. This conversation was recorded live at Cross Campus in Downtown LA, as part of the LiveTalks: Business series. Books mentioned: WTF: What's the Future – Tim O'Reilly Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu Who Gets What and Why – Alvin Ross Why Nations Fail – Daron Acemoglu & James Robinson Murder in the Cathedral – TS Eliot Quotes: “The future is here, just not evenly distributed” – William Gibson “Social Responsibility of a business is to Increase its Profits” – Milton Friedman Learn more: http://oreillymedia.com @timoreilly Tim O'Reilly has a history of convening conversations that reshape the computer industry. If you've heard the term “open source software” or “web 2.0” or “the Maker movement” or “government as a platform” or “the WTF economy,” he's had a hand in framing each of those big ideas. He is the founder, CEO, and Chairman of O'Reilly Media, and a partner at early stage venture firm O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures (OATV). He is also on the boards of Maker Media (which was spun out from O'Reilly Media in 2012), Code for America, PeerJ, Civis Analytics, and PopVox. His book, WTF: What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us, was released by Harper Collins in October 2017. For more information, check out the show notes at http://makeitinla.org/timoreilly.
Mark Frauenfelder likes to celebrate and encourage creativity in every form. He's the founder of BoingBoing, a directory of wonderful things that's encouraged "happy mutants" for over 15 years (and was a zine created with his wife, Carla Sinclair, before that), and the editor of Make Magazine, one of the inspirations of and driving forces behind the maker movement. Mark's book Made by Hand documents how he turned to raising chickens, growing food, and pulling espresso as a counterpart to his increasingly digitally focused life. We talk about the revival of people's interest in making things and collaborating with others in communities, as well as his book and Make magazine.
Having just come back from a Make:Philly meeting and wowed by the art of Chris Vecchio, I find myself artistically inspired and contemplating the nature of technology, and how it makes us human. Also, I built a prosthetic ego—not that I need one.Make Magazine: www.makezine.comMakePhilly: www.MakePhilly.comThe Hacktory: thehacktory.org/The Hackory in the City Paper: text story http://www.citypaper.net/articles/2008/03/27/hack-to-the-future video story: http://www.citypaper.net/articles/2008/03/27/the-hacktory Chris Vecchio: www.noisemantra.comThe Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net.
