"History Hackers"

Woot! DIY superstar Bre Pettis (of MAKE & Etsy) is starring in a pilot for what I hope becomes a series, History Hackers on the History Channel.



From Bre's blog:

"My TV show pilot called “History Hacker” airs this upcoming Friday at 8PM and Midnight on the History Channel. I’m the host of the show and I check out inventors in history and take a hands-on look at their inventions. I need your help to make the show go from a pilot to a real TV show.

"The pilot is all about Nikola Tesla and the war of the currents between Tesla and Edison. In the show I learn how to blow a neon tube, explore wireless electricity and build an AC generator from a bike. I also go to Boston to visit an MIT space lab to see how the principles that Tesla pioneered are being applied to space propulsion."

I'm so excited someone from my "little" DIY bubble-world is getting the spotlight. Spread the link below, spread the crafter/maker culture!

Help Turn the History Hacker pilot into a TV show!
