Maker Faire Detroit 2010
Originally uploaded by DarjeelingTea

So over the weekend I went to Maker Faire in Detroit, hosted at the Henry Ford Museum by Make & Craft Magazine. It was a great time, lots of neat stuff to do and see. There were neat Robotics from the Army, and robots that were JUST as cool made out of Lego. The Mentos and Coke guys were there and we got to watch a live reenactment of their video.

I tried my hand at soldering for the first time, and made a LED pin. I also knit a few rows of a giant scarf to put on the statue of Edison at the Museum.

Oh, that just figures.

I'm down and out with knee trouble that weekend, missed Maker Faire, and everyone I know and haven't seen in ages is in town.

Sheesh!

:)

That sucks! I hope your knee is better soon.

We were hoping to take my dad, since he'd get such a kick out of all of this, but he worked like a dog all week, including having to drive from Pittsburgh to Buffalo to pick up a coworker at 2 am for a presentation that morning. So he ended up napping all weekend.

Next year I'd really like to make a whole weekend out of it. I didn't get to see the mousetrap do it's thing, or any of the Ignite lectures, or some other things. Hopefully next year I'll see you there!

Hee, love the photos. So many things! And an Inspector Gadget, no less!

I'm geeking over the 3D printer making the companion cube, though. Awesomesauce.

There were a lot of other things, toys and such they made, but how could I NOT take a picture of the companion cube??
