Maker Faire

For those not on the other side of the world, a great place to visit today or tomorrow would be the Maker Faire in San Mateo, California. It is a fair created by the makers of Make Magazine. They will hold workshops on everything from making neon lights to toy automata. 

Bring your old computers also and let them be part of their Knoppix veggie-oil-powered parallel computing cluster before being given away to people in more need than you. Come on, I'm sure you have several computers back in the closet that you are not using.
