It’s been a blast yet we’ve been able to get barely 5 hours sleep. But we will get all this cool stuff posted.
Mayhem & Chaos brings you some really cool sit and pedal POV (Persistence of Vision) using recycled bicycle parts.
I guess Mayhem took it to Burning Man every year. Cool… I gotta go one of these days.
Thanks Mayhem for letting us take a vid!

Check out this cool electric skateboard these guys made. Thanks Frank for letting me get on it. I was about to take off with it to my house… It’s an electric skateboard that goes forwards and backwards by simply putting your weight towards where you want to go. It seems to be using some kind of accelerometer. If they start selling these to kids, these would be way more cool than any Segways for sure.

Here’s a hilarious “Thanks for watching Zedomax Maker Faire 2007 Coverage from Garrett. Jed’s ALAVs and Hubberbots were right next to our booth so he suggested we help him deflate his cool balloons while trying to pack everything and leave the faire. Great job Garrett! 🙂

Here’s video from yesterday before it got crowded. Today, it’s pretty crowded as you can tell on the live webcam.
Cool.

Check out these Cool ALAVs (Autonomous Light Vessels) by Jed Berk! Tight! It uses Sun Microsystems SunSpot microcontroller, which can be programmed in Java. I like this idea since there’s a lot of Java embedded processors out there but this ones from the creators. Jed tells me that all the pieces were 3D designed on the computer and laser-cut, kinda cool~ 🙂

Check out the Light Orb. Remember we had a post about the Light Orb way back? It’s cool to see it in real life. Maker faire rules.
Hey we are live at the Maker Faire, blogging live! See our automated camera that follows people? Well, it’s a $160 Logitech camera we got in a hurry at Best Buy last night just before the store closed. Glad we got it working although the internet here sucks sometimes. Anyway, our booth is really popular! 🙂
Garrett is doing a great job with the crowd while I am hiding in the back. (Why am I hiding? Blogging of course!)
Hi there, we are at the Maker Faire! I got hands on one of automatic webcams that follow people. Check it out! It took me awhile to hook up some internet. For some reason, I couldn’t hook up to the free internet here. BUT I got my Sprint Samsung IP-830W to work as a cellular modem. Hopefully, the live videos stream good on it. (My phone is a life-saver! 🙂 )
