maker faire

so i went to maker faire today, which is a fair sponsored
by the ultimately awesome magazine make.

this was the ultimate dream for all children, physically and
mentally.

it was just acres of art, crafts, technology... so fucking
fun! i was like a kid in a candy store.

a few of the high lights: lots of burning man art which
means fire and steampunk galore, tesla coils, a jeep covered
in lego boards so you could build on it, tables upon tables
of weird audio toys and interfaces, an amazing lego
zoetrope, both a bus and numerous muffins drive by bicycle,
and my favorite, an 18 foot tall walking mechanical giraffe
who blasted rave music and spoke to you when you petted him
on his head. and that doesnt even begin to describe how much
more stuff there was.

as an insanely geeky plus, i met xeni jardin of boingboing
and bbtv.

this was probably the most fun i've had since last
coachella, and made me soooo incredibly stoked for burning
man.

maker faire only requires you be young of heart.

it really is just like a huge adult playground.
