[pix] Bay Area Maker Faire 2011

So yes! Yesterday we drove down to San Mateo for the Bay Area Maker Faire and had quite a fun time. Many strange and silly (and nerdy and intellectual) things were to be seen. So without further ado, pictures from the geekfest below the cut!

Warning: Science (and Other Weird Things) Ahead )

So yes...quite a lot of things seen and done, played with or eaten (yes, we had funnel cake!), and it was a hell of a lot of fun. So much so that I was dead tired by the time we got home! It was well worth it, though...lots of silly, geeky fun.

Oh, and!

This weekend: CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR.

Which means more fried badness from Chicken Charlie's!! :)

And according to this story from a local TV channel, one of their new creations is called a Zucchini Weenie.

[Enter Joke Here.] Ooookay.... O_O;

Seriously...if they have the Krispy Kreme Chicken Sammich again, I SO want to get one again...but I may also eat more creepy fried stuff like a twinkie or Coke or Statue of Liberty or something strange like that. :p

And yes, THERE WILL BE PICTURES.

File Under: WTF?!???

Flying piece of art causes museum chaos in Switzerland

As Connie Willis said in one of the Worldcon Panels, you don't need to make weird stuff up, all you need to do is open the newspaper. ;)
