This is me (looking slightly startled) with Limor Fried - also known as Lady Ada, head honcho of AdaFruit industries. Creator of the Boarduino variant of the Arduino microcontroller, and a whole bunch of other really cool gadgets and gizmos. Check out the SpokePOV - genius!!
…and we got to check out his awesome head tracking demo…
WE NEED GAMES WITH THIS!!
Johnny Chung Lee was at the show… It’s great to meet some of the people you collaborate with on the web…
The Tesla guys (and girls) from UCSC invited me to step into the faraday suit and feel the power of 18 bazillion volts swarming over me…
Now I know how a cyberman feels…
Good Morning America stopped by the booth to film the harp…
Kudos for Pete for having his camera ready…
We just finished two intense days at the San Francisco Maker Faire. Had the harp set up in the Dark Room hall. By the end of the show Pete and I had just about worked out how to run the booth and drum up a crowd.
Most people just loved to look at the harp, rather than play it. I think a few were disappointed that the notes were on a preset scale and not a musical scale - so next time we’ll have to fix that.
There’s another Faire in Texas later in the year, and all being well we’ll be showing at that one too…
