Todd Harrison is a redneck engineer. Veronica Harrison is an eighth grade robotics and electronics hacker. They teamed up to add heat exchange coils to a gas grill in order to heat their swimming pool. The best part is that their contraption breaks back down to regular grill in minutes so that they can serve burgers at the requisite pool party.

John Davi, Communications Director of CalCars.org, talks about the challenges of getting manufacturers to produce plug-in hybrids, cars that run 100% electric for local travel but still have unlimited gasoline range. I caught up with him at Maker Faire while he was making a documentary on how to do your own plug-in hybrid Prius conversion.

Dorrian gave all of the makers at Maker Faire informational text-message spaces. Try texting ‘maker143’ to 66937.

He’s recreated the domain name business but in SMS, so obviously he’s a genious. He gave me a few minutes to explain his company Mozes and to talk about Maker Faire.
