Primack believes exploring the potential impact of these one of a kind trees in “green” architecture and “sustainable” art could prove to be “Santa Cruz County’s greatest contribution to civilization”. Even if architecture isn’t your gig, Mark Primack is a great story teller. Listening to him tell his story about these trees and how he saved many years ago will be sure to be a crowd pleaser.</p>http://50mileradius.com/post/116088965http://50mileradius.com/post/116088965Sun, 31 May 2009 21:39:16 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/SQIxGIsbpo5sd00lTkkQN4KWo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Skimp-UCSC was one of the featured Makers at Maker Faire ‘09 - San Mateo this year!

Innovation is what is going to pull this Country up by it’s boot straps; the Makers Faire is a gathering place for many incredible innovators we have in the Bay Area. It is a one of a kind event great for all ages. There are crafts, demos, motorized larger than life cupcakes you can drive, fantastic food, and great music. It is really a two day event to do it right, but if you can only get there for a few hours it is still worth it. Buy your tickets now and get there early because this is a heavily attended event and getting to the fairgrounds can be time consuming due to traffic.</p>http://50mileradius.com/post/111325127http://50mileradius.com/post/111325127Thu, 21 May 2009 22:24:00 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/SQIxGIsbpnqjtvg5Kz7b4NZso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In the aftermath of the California’s Special Election, the City of Santa Cruz has launched a new <a href="http://budget.santacruzcityca.gov/" target="_blank">City Budget Website</a> to create a more transparent government and solicit the community for feedback.
