maker faire report

part science fair, part craft fair, part exhibition, and all carnival, the maker faire was a total trip.

while sales were far from record-breaking, we have to admit it was the best people-watching we have ever done at a craft fair EVER.

there were custom bikes.

during a break from the show, ann got a chance to meet diana (of project runway fame) and her design partner, emily, who have developed a genius spy cam of sorts called "blogging in motion." housed in a stylish bag, the camera shoots pictures every 20 seconds and sends them instantly to your online photoblog.

I am addicted to Project Runway, so naturally think it ULTRA awesome that you got to meet Diana.

I had seen the robot-drawn chariot (and coveted it, of course), but I had no idea that Dubya was the centurion pulling it!
