Hey, I found a batch-resize macro for GIMP, so there’s going to be hardly any turnaround time, and hardly any commentary, on photos from Maker Faire!<\/p>\n

As exhibitors, the SPACE SQUID team was there at the crack of dawn, setting up our little both and watching as all the other makers transform an open-air stock pavilion that still smelled quite strongly of stock, into a place of wonders.
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n

Soon the people came to admire the SPACE SQUID stage show.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n

Of course there were one or two other people exhibiting. SPACE SQUID was sandwiched between the people getting splorched by the gore-cannon, and the Hungry Scientist booth, where engineers made icecream right in front of you with ingredients you choose, using liquid nitrogen and a cordless drill.
\n
\n
\nThe flavor that I chose was BBQ sauce, tomatoes, olive oil, chili, and garlic.
\n
\nYum!!!<\/p>\n

If I had my choice, I would have spent the entire weekend watching the robot battles and eating funnel cake.
\n
\n
\nThere’s nothing more exciting than watching a 300lb robot flip into the air and slam into bullet-proof lexan. I’ve never been so exhilarated by a violent sport, not even hockey.<\/p>\n

Of course the Sterling engine people had to show up.
\n<\/p>\n

I remember the ornate train model from last year, and I don’t think the little electric train worked then either.
\n<\/p>\n

The "Sashimi Tabernacle Choir" with its intricately synchronized singing fish was even more impressive at night, when the LEDs in the mouths lit in synch with the moving mouthparts and the music.
\n<\/p>\n

Who knew that the great worm of the desert was just a bunch of folks on bikes?
\n
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n

After long deliberation, we chose a pair of Squid Grrrls for our special Maker Faire supplemental issue of SPACE SQUID. Their model names are (from left to right) Regina Falangi and Baluka Pasty.
\n<\/p>\n

And the Squid Grrrl runner-ups, who coincidentally had the exact same model names.
