Chris and I have been fans of Make and Craft magazines for many years. Every year they hold a huge DIY extravaganza in the SF Bay area, so Chris and I were so excited to finally attend:
It was so much fun to be in the midst of so much creativity and zaniness! We saw all sorts of things including:
 |
| Hundreds of bubbles |
 |
| Godzilla attacking wool trees and houses made of vintage book covers |
 |
| Holistic hula hooping |
 |
| Skater boy catching a ride on the train |
 |
| Step by step instructions - from idea to functional prototype! |
 |
| A screenshot of the Google Sketchup concept rendering software... |
 |
| ...and the physical result! |
 |
| A Google Android running around |
 |
| Chris made some new friends |
 |
| I learned a new word: Steampunk |
 |
| PAS: Potentially Annoying Sound = welcome to my life living with Chris!!! |
 |

| People could sit in the belly and pedal to make the wings flap. |
 |
| The parents pedaled and the kids enjoyed the ride. |
