Bay Area Maker Faire 2010

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.

Here’s the track log on a satellite map:

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:

Sony Dash, Chumby Guts

Delia XO laptop Chumby alarm clock

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.
