Had a most enjoyable time at this weekend’s Maker Faire at the San Mateo Fairgrounds. The creators of Make Magazine and the Weekend Projects Podcast I dearly love drew an eclectic group of crafters, kids, and tech-heads. A Lego truck and wooden bikes invited participation, and it was fun to see the reactions hundreds of people had to seeing the visual explosion of Diet Coke and Mentos (my video from the back of the crowd doesn’t do it justice–the original viral clip is much more enticing).
