Good morning, earthlings. Beginning my 2nd TWO DAY weekend in row, & I feel almost human, almost hopeful that live could be “normal” whatever that means. Going to breakfast with an old internet friend from the Mac News Network days — 2002-2004 or so. The Lounge there was my online home for a few years & I still have real friends from there. The internet is weird, no? Ok, coffee.

We're going to the Maker Faire today.

They defiitely had many kids with bots there. There were even a few adult "kids" there as well. There was a computer made entirely with relays called Rec3. They had rockets, CNC machines and their byproducts. There was a couple who copperplated things with a homebrew plating setup. Lots of RaspberryPis, drones, and many arts & crafts things also. My son wants to homebrew his own drone now.
@DistroJunkie Building a drone sounds hard but awesome. They got a CNC machine at the robotics lab at LASA the year before Erin graduated & she was pretty stoked to be able fab parts. FIRST Robotics was the #1 factor in her deciding on an E.E. trajectory. I can’t recommend it enough if you’ve got school age kids.
@DistroJunkie I need to do that some time! I sorely miss going to the kids robotics meets, just because of the novelty of the designs.
