dd
Tim O'Reilly And Dale Dougherty
Who They Are: Prophets of the DIY movement.
What They're Doing: Publish the manifesto of the DIY world, quarterly Make magazine; holding alpha-geek conferences for like-minded do-it-yourselfers, from adults to children.
What They Want You To Do: Build a gadget. Turn a cigar box into an electric guitar. Make a minibot with flashing eyes and six legs. Have fun.
What DIY Means To Them: It's "...the collision of computing and 'stuff.' It's telling us something about the shape of the future. It's a bellwether."
