Man, I love Maker Faire. It’s almost as if Burning Man mated with Slashdot. Here are afew of the fun things I saw today.

Also in the Craft zone was a “postcard machine.” It was a person sitting inside a booth pretending to be a machine. You could select the postcard you wanted and push two dollars through the slot.

Outside, several people were driving around in mobile muffins:

Not to be outdone, someone had decorated their art car entirely with pens and markers:

I forget where I saw this, but someone had made a Q*bert quilt:

Good stuff. I bought a pair of Monkeylectric LED Bike light sets, so that should be fun.
