Customer Review: I may be crazy
Ok my son is a little people addict. He will only watch claymation, like “Wallace and Gromit”.
I have a bone to pick with this volume. I think the claymation designers had it in for Maggie. She is totally disportioned…look at how heavy her jaw is in thie video. I don’t know if you caught this (as you can see I watch these alot) in story where they bake the cake for the zoo keeper, there is a line “his present is flat as a pancake” they have Maggie speaking it, but it’s Michaels voice. cute Video none the less.

Comic Jam @ Maker Faire
Doc writes - This last weekend was the Maker Faire in San Mateo, and the San Francisco Cartoonist Conspiracy was there running a jam comic. Our table, which was located in the big expo room (close to Yahoo!’s booth), was filled with pencils, pens, and paper. Cartoonist Conspiracy members answered questions from some of the Faire’s 40,000 attendees and tried to encourage as many of them as possible to create a panel for the Maker Jam Comic. Jeff Plotkin and I started at 10 am on Saturday morning with 10 blank pages, and by 5pm on the following Sunday we had 9 and a half finished pages (not to mention the cover and autograph page).

Make: Event - bridge building at Ignite Boston
The first ever Ignite! Boston is going to be a great night of makers, geeks, techies, and innovators hanging out at Tommy Doyle’s in Cambridge. To kick-off our Ignite Boston evening, we’re having a MAKE competition–Building Bridges–from 6:20 to 7pm. Come with a set of friends and blueprints, or meet some people at the bar and form an ad hoc team! After you build your bridges, Mike Hendrickson will be emceeing a great line-up of speakers. There will be plenty of time in the schedule for chit-chat, and a bar where you can buy drinks. Goal: Using 1,000 or fewer popsicle sticks, construct a bridge that can withstand more human weight than your competitors’ bridges. We’ll keep weighing them down until they’re destroyed! Requirements: Bridge must span 16″; each end will rest on a block. You must use 1,000 or fewer popsicle sticks (these are provided for you). Only glue guns may be used to adhere the sticks together. Each team will be provided with at least one glue gun, but bring your own if you have one! (Feel free to bring your own LEDs, wire, and batteries to make your bridge light up!) Contest judging will take place at 8:45, so your bridge will have lots of time to dry. Prize: Bragging rights! (Oh, and, a mystery prize will be awarded to the winning team!)

Maker Faire: Gareth & Mousey the Junkbots
Gareth Branwyn ran the fantastic Mousey the Junkbots workshops at Maker Faire, here’s his write up!Well, we’re back from the Maker Faire. Very tiring, but supremely satisfying. I’d really wanted to blog the event as it happened, but ended up spending nearly all day, both days, in the Make booth, building mousebots. At night, I was just too wiped to do anything but keel over. Everything at a Maker Faire is cranked to 11: the size of the event, the creativity of what’s being presented, the excitement of the fairgoers, the diversity of the people who show up. So, YOU end up on 11. I heard this jacked amperage was experienced by both fairgoers and presenters alike. The common chant went something like: “This is SO awesome. I LOVE it! There’s too much! I’ll never get to see it all.”… Makers Vs. The Blob :: Street Tech :: hardware beyond the hype - Link. [Read this article] [Comment on this article]
