On Monday I got an Oriental Trading Company catalog of kid craft kits. Karston claimed the catalog initially, but after flipping through it he announced, I don't like these because I design my own crafts! I think he is the Maker Faire type.
After lunch today with friends who have a son six months older than Cale, we all went to Maker Faire: NC: "Makers, Crafters, Inventors, Evil Geniuses, Scientists and Artists will come together for a day of family-friendly fun and inspiration. From home-made cookies to home-made robots, Maker Faire NC promises something for everyone in a showcase of the American creative spirit." What fun! Before the NC Near Space balloon launch, Cale was saying, Want see balloon go up, but as soon as it did, he said, Want see balloon come down. Karston liked the model rockets best, but he also liked the robots, especially the small ones like Hex Bugs, and ShopBot's CNC machine. Brian liked the hockey-playing battle bots, while Cale was mostly too tired for words although he did like the small robots and ShopBot too. So we brought friends to Maker Faire with us, we saw people I had expected to see, we ran into a couple couples I hadn't expected (I haven't seen Julie in ages, so I just wouldn't expect to run into her family), and I notice from various feeds that I didn't even spot everyone I know who was there this afternoon! So I guess Maker Faire: NC was the show to see this afternoon!
