DIY: My Dad Is A Robot Mechanic

I knew all of those Make Magazine gift subscriptions for my Father would finally pay off.  He made a Robot (Make Magazine Volume 21) for me which was unveiled last night via Skype! As soon as I get tired of cuddling with it it's going on our fireplace mantel.  I have a request in for a dozen more.  Two words: ROBOT ARMY!  Did I mention that the arms move?  Righteous!  Thanks, Dad!

Art: Maker Faire Austin Mini-Documentary

Makers - A short-subject documentary about the Do-It-Yourself Counterculture from Brian Boyko.

This documentary about the recent Austin Maker Faire has me even MORE excited about attending the Bay Area Maker Faire this May!  For those who aren't familiar with the Maker Faire (or Make Magazine)...think Urban Burning Man.  Many of the innovations showcased at this event are things I've seen (or will see) out on the Playa.  The Maker Faire offers up the opportunity to get up-close and personal with the artists/Makers behind these mind blowing creations.  Can't wait!
