Hi,

I had an 'Art and Technology' show today at the local RadioShack in Massachusetts which went pretty well. I had my table-top Polargraph running printing pictures of Neil Armstrong, Muhammad Ali, Abe Lincoln etc together with my Thing-o-Matic plus my usual other art stuff!

Also built a simple two axis accelerometer hands on toy for the kids using a servo and a G35 xmas light string. rotating cw/acw moved the lights from centre (Green) and progressively moved towards red the further you went and the servo showed inclination up/down.

Think I sparked an interest and the guys at RadioShack thought it neat.

Nice! This proves you don't need the MAKE organization to have your own mini-Maker Faire (just don't call it that - I bet their inclination toward open source stops at their trademarks).

Let me know when it's time for a polargraph flash mob - the slowest flash mob evah!
