Me on a mowercycle...
Yesterday, the first Saturday I've had off in 8 months, I went to the Makers Faire down at the San Mateo fairgrounds. It was wonderful.
There is a series of magazines; Make, Create, etc., that are about repurposing and hacking and making funky stuff. I thought the robitics would be the most interesting but it was the craft pavillion that was the most exciting (although Circuside performance was pretty damn fun, too).The Craft Mafia (San Francisco, New Orleans, and Sacramento chapters) were well represented. There is a new punk/funk movement in the crafts world! Very fresh and imaginative.
This is a picture of an old Ninendo game consol, only it's all made of yarn.
Sooooo many interesting things! Of course the flame throwers and catapults and fighting robots were cool, too.
Great music, too. A punk mariachi band which was even more fun than that sounds like.
