maker faire

today my friend dominique and her husband justin and i went to queens to go to maker faire.  maker faire is a huge event (much larger than i was expecting, actually) that is nerdy kid PARADISE.  people show off cool stuff they've made (robots and 3D printers and all sorts of cool crafts), plus there was great food and a huge area with crafts for sale.  i may or may not have lost my mind in the craft section. it was awesome.  a random assortment of photos from today:

katy perry the unicorn.  horn is on fire.  i'm confused, but entertained.

the maker faire was at the new york hall of science, so there were some permanent exhibits there, including this space shuttle thing (what is this?  i am ridiculous for not knowing, so forgive me):

metrocard robot who danced along with some music:

inside the hall of science - beautiful walls:

i had a great time with my new friends (dominique and i are in school together)!  now, homework.  (frowny face.)
