Rather than carry a camera, I just created a GPS track log of our visit on my nifty android phone to the Maker Faire at the San Mateo County Event Center.

The update to Bleep Labs wildy popular Thingamagoop is here! Thingamagoop 2 is a small robot-shaped synth that excels at making noise and sound effects. Aside from its all-around coolness, the Thankamapoop has a killer feature, a 1/4inch output jack. Think, patch cord into your mixer or amp! Just watch this video for all the bleeping and blooping and flashing goodness:
Where to get it:

Nifty new product from Sony based on the Chumby software platform. I use a Chumby as my internet alarm clock.
Here’s my Chumby (not the furry one, not the green one)! Notice that it’s displaying one of my mostly adequate bird pictures.
