Merriam and Webster - Foment

Foment 

: to promote the growth or development of : rouse, incite <foment a rebellion>

“foment a Rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice or Representation”.>

Thanks Gabriel Garcia Marquez for getting this word stuck in my head.

Merriam and Webster - Vacillate

Vacillate 

1: to sway through lack of equilibrium b : fluctuate, oscillate

2: to waver in mind, will, or feeling : hesitate in choice of opinions or courses 

I credit my parents - especially my mother- with my unwavering love of language. Because of my love affair with words, sometimes I get stuck on one or another.  

Lately, vacillate keeps trying to beat me up and steal my lunch money.

Guerilla Crochet in the Rocket Park

I was lucky enough to be able to spend the day at Maker Faire yesterday.  I can't even begin to say how amazing and inspiring it was, not to mention a little overwhelming.

There was a lot of stuff that I'm really excited about:

• TechShop opening a location in Brooklyn
• The possibility of getting my own Makerbot.
• Everything about Shapeways.
• Make Magazine for $20 for a year.
• The realization that a laser cutter isn't completely out of my price range.
• ShopBot.  'Nuff said.
• The Tom Kha Gai recipe from Instructables.

Maker Faire did get my wheels turning though.  It made me realize that maybe, just maybe, art can actually be something I do for love and for money without it necessarily being something I do for someone else.

Added to my stash-  I talked yarn, Mike talked computers.
