Artsy Craftsy, DIY heaven

If you watch too much HGTV, Discovery Channel, or other similar cable shows, then this event is for you. This weekend, visit the San Mateo Fairgrounds for the Maker Faire 2007.

Per their website, it's a: "A two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It's for creative, resourceful folks who like to tinker and love to make things."

It looks like there will be all sorts of goofy projects on display, great ideas for sharing and other crazy ways to geek out on doing projects at home. I know I've already got too many, but hey, this could be inspiration for more. And if you don't feel like going to San Mateo for the show, just go to the Edinburgh Castle for the "after party" and meet some other makers!
