Hello,

We're getting fired up for Maker Faire Bay Area. In appreciation of the
"Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth," we're dedicating this week's UG
newsletter to all things Make. Don't know what Maker Faire is? The first
3 people who are able to attend and email us back at
usergroups at oreilly.com will get a free pair of tickets to Maker Faire
Bay Area.

Cheers,

-Marsee Henon & Jon Johns
