So, I saw a piece about the #Taos #Earthship community late last night on #VeryLocal (unfortunately, I can't find any video link as yet). However, I did find a piece from 2024 about them...

"This summer’s extreme heat and the demand for air conditioning are putting a big strain on the electricity grid in many parts of the nation. But for more than 40 years, a pioneering architect in New Mexico has been building a unique kind of home that can be heated and cooled without using any electricity at all. Special Correspondent Megan Thompson reports."

So, the only "sports" I follow are competitive cooking / baking, and now competitive making! Came across this gem late at night, and I love seeing folks make stuff! So far I watched episodes with competitive linocut printmaking, competitive glass blowing, and competitive costume design! Some wicked cool stuff!

#MakerNation

"Host Ashley Adams, a crafter in her own right, meets different makers and artists across America. Each has a unique story to tell, and an amazing skill to share. Every episode features profiles of two makers and a 'Craft Course” tutorial showing viewers how they can make something artful out of simple items lying around their house.

What makes a maker?

"Maker Nation profiles artists and crafters of all levels. From a bead artist who creates elaborate costumes for Mardi Gras to a potter who loves to make useful items that can be used every day, we meet all different kinds of makers."
