Last weekend was Maker Faire Bay Area
, a two-day festival of DIY goodness hosted by Make Magazine
. The festival features a fair amount
of art straight off
, along with some originals that wouldn't do as well in desert storms. This kinetic sculpture
, called Sisyphus V, was designed by Dr. Bruce Shapiro. The autonomous steel sphere is controlled by a magnetic arm that moves about two axes
, Etch-a-Sketch style. Other notable exhibits at Maker Faire: a mind-reading martini maker
, a buscycle
, Disney's flying robotic Tinkerbell
, and a toy that translates movement into fire
.
