2013/05/18 Another Maker Faire
π 2013-05-18 01:01 in Public
Last year I went two days to make up for the fact that one day, especially sunday, isn't enough. Last year I went two days, including all of saturday (from 10 to 20:00). Turns out that outside of a few talks that were only on sunday, it was a bit overkill so this time I only went saturday all day, having delayed a trip to Tokyo until the next day so that I could attend. It worked out just right, I was able to see a good amount of talks and virtually everything in the expo halls.

This was all great to see, and I even managed not to bring back several hundred thousands dollars of stuff, so I guess that's good, right?
