Great book…My wife and I got to see Adam speak recently at the Pittsburgh Public Library. What a fun time. We really liked how he explained how “failures” should really be viewed as “iterations” in making and life in general.

AMAZON REVIEW:
This book is a fun and informative treatise on learning, building and creative expression, however even the hardcover edition is too light to effectively pound in framing nails.
Two stars.

My brief, but throughly enjoyed time of living on Alameda island had me run into the Myth Buster gang from time to time. Adam is a true human being, always a smile on his face, you can’t not like the guy.

Chisels are indeed screwdrivers, but they’re also hammers.

Alameda is a practice in contrarian, anchored firmly in the past, but a vibrant sub culture is taking over, slowly.

It was cool to see the old Chinese bodegas and laundries and chow joints still survive here and there
