East Bay Mini Maker Faire was rainy but fun. The mini-sized faire made for a much more manageable experience than the gigantor (but awesome) hodgepodge of overstimulation that is the full-scale bay area version. it was held at the park day school in temescal. originally scheduled to be mostly outside, the planners did an excellent job with the rain contingency plan.

the eggbot does pumpkins for halloween as well. It looks like the marker holder is hinged so that it just rests on the surface, which is helpful for not-quite-round surfaces like little pumpkins and gourds.
Photos of components of the world’s smallest post service kit from leafcutter designs. Pretty awesome idea. They send you a real letter with teeny writing and a magnifying glass for reading. Comes with a custom wax seal, stamp and all. check out their video.

ice brain by anja ulfeldt
such a cool project – it’s a growing (and shrinking) ice brain. Refrigeration coils form the brain and water vapor in the air condenses and then freezes onto the coils.
