You can find literally thousands at <a href="http://www.designfesta.com/index_en.html">Design Festa</a> every year! (See a small set in my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cloneofsnake/tags/designfesta/">Flickr DesignFesta tag</a>.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cloneofsnake/5790853216/"><figure><img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" alt="" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5181/5790853216_c5ecc579b7_b.jpg" ></figure> </a></p> <p>I support creators and makers, they&rsquo;re the reason why I moved to Tokyo and joined CUUSOO, why I started the Open Hippel project, and why I was able to made some good friends who&rsquo;re doing some really cool things in <a href="http://www.inmojo.com/">Open Source Hardware</a> (inMojo.com) and open source software deveopment. (Not to mention the small scale, iterative production model at <a href="http://makible.com">Makible.com</a> of course.)</p> <p>I need to chat with the other Etsy fans to understand what we can do to enable this whole makers eco-system to scale and disrupt the evil mass production giant corporations! Come and join me!</p>
