I must love doing Maker Faire! Cause it's 7:30am and I'm awake. I know this isn't early for most people, but it is for me, plus I'm way behind on sleep. I need a good few days off to catch up!

CW, judging from Rachel's post here -- http://friendfeed.com/phoenix... -- she and the Cal Haunts crew are in the "Expo Hall" in the middle of that map (while Electric Imp is in building 42, wherever that is).

I'm at maker faire!! I think I'm just about the only one in Expo hall so far! #makerfaire
Laura, The CalHauntS booth will be in the Expo Hall in the North East Corner. The corner closet to the concession stand and beside the east door. If you look at the map linked here http://makerfaire.com/bayarea..., we are in the corner right above the TechShop logo. I will be in the booth Saturday and Sunday till about noon-ish and then on Sunday at the end of the...

#SaturdayFF I love eating the mini-sausages for pigs in a blanket before the final baking as much as after. However I insist on good qualities piggies for both cooked and uncooked. :)
Dominic Deville, An Evil Birthday Clown, Stalks Your Child For A Fee - Attention parents: Just in case your children don't have anything to talk about in therapy, here's something you might want to consider:
Dominic Deville rents himself out as an "evil birthday clown" who leaves scary notes for your children, warning them that they're being... - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012...

very interesting that this popped up in my feed after watching an episode of "Tripping the Rift".

Bug in the Rug - YouTube - The kittens have a new game using the cover on the couch in their room. And of course Lion-O is the one to find the cozy new play space. #foxfosterkittens - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Not that I know of Sparky. Some people did I think when the newness wore off. I have been very busy lately getting ready for Maker Faire and kittens not to mention the photography back log I have, so I have been going a lot slower than I used to. Maybe 1 or 2 drawings a day depending on the day. I have about 15 - 20 semi active people I'm still playing with so it might seem like I'm not...

I only stopped playing because it crashes on my iPod and I can't ever find the iPad.

I've been using the Paper app to plan out my gardens this year. It is working out really well since I often sketch on paper, then loose the paper and can't refer back to things. Now I can bring it up any time. So here are sketches of 2 of my garden spaces with photos of them in real life right now. And then a few other sketches of spots I haven't..
I was trying to wrangle Dora and get photos of the conjunctivitis that had spread to her right eye to send into the shelter (hoping to not have to go in) However a couple boys apparently thought I needed helpers for this task. They would not leave me alone with Dora and they were not helpful. They are however excessively cute! #foxfosterkittens
Whatcha doin? What's that? I'm helping! I'm a good helper! See? SEE?!

One thing I LOVE about the Humane Society of Silicon Valley: I've been with them long enough that they know me. They know that I'm good with giving the kittens medication, I'm detailed and observant of the kittens health and I'm very proactive. So when a already diagnosed thing like conjunctivitis spreads (as it is prone to do) I know which parts of the eye to show in photos and I know...

Love that one on the left. It's like a kitten version of Charlie's Angels.

Me too Spidra. I just wish the 4th kitten wasn't completely hidden behind Lion-O. Would have been great to have all for. But kitten wrangling... *throws up hands*

Oh man, I am so in love with all of them.

The black one reminds me of my darling Darcy <3

There is a game that Kevin and I learned at W00TStock, basically any time someone says something humorous you respond with "that's my REAL BAND NAME HERE cover band!" The idea is to match the genere/style/band in general to the silly new cover band. Per a thread with teleken and Melly I'm trying to figure out the cover band for "Crystal Poop Ball".
Kevin and I have had no luck coming up with a real good band that Crystal Poop Ball would be a cover band for. However we have a new theory. We think maybe this is actually a cause album where multiple bands are contributing songs. We have come up with a couple of them and are still pondering more. :)

Nice Neal! and yes Spidra, if there are any good ones.

"Hardcore Teabaggers is the name of my GG Allin cover band."

""Michele Bachmann Beauty Contest" is the name of my Celine Dion tribute band."

A lot of them were funny because you had to know the context. And there were far more of them sprinkled throughout the forum than ever got corralled into that one thread.

Old photos from Maker Faire - a set on Flickr - some of the items inside the Rocket that now sits on Pier 14 in San Francisco. Posting these since the inside is no longer open for viewing. :) - http://www.flickr.com/photos...
Stephen, they look fine to me but I didn't look very closely. The whole thing is a HIPPA violation. They actually sent me two emails with two family members x-rays. oh well.

Chris, I did not. but he shows up in so little in the movie. This scene was one of the many promo posters. That and sometimes I'm mean and I like to make it hard for my friend to figure out the picture. i.e. not drawing Dory or Marlin till the very end. :)
- Rachel Lea Fox
I would say that's cruel but I bet it's just a joy to watch the drawing. I'd probably forget to guess!
