MAKER Faire

Over this last weekend, (Oct 20-21st) Amber and I went down the MAKER Faire in Austin, TX. It was awesome. We saw some really neat projects there along with some really lame ones. If you don't know what MAKE is I suggest you head over to the site. We carved pumpkins and put LEDs in the them, entered the Adobe XD contest (made a t-shirt design), learned about Google Sketch while making an object (and got a t-shirt and socks), made some beaded trinkets and generally had a good time. On Sunday we went down to Alamo in San Antonio, and spent some time walking around the Riverwalk. For lunch we went to Mi Tierra and got a great lunch along with some really good bakery items.

    Yeah, the Maker Faire in the bay area was pretty incredible. My favorite was probably the hall of robots. And FYI, it's Google Sketchup, not Sketch. I love the program and use it at work a fair bit. In fact, I'm buying a house (first one) and used it to draw the floor plan and place furniture to see how everything will fit. Good stuff.
