If you're interested in technology, you MUST go to the Maker Faire on May 19-20 - it's the most amazing thing! Last year the Mythbusters were wandering around and all day Steve Wozniak was out playing polo on a Segway. Plus there were just incredible projects and inventions all around. Don't miss it! Advance ticket sales end today.

If you missed the first Maker Faire last year, the best way to describe this family-friendly weekend is part science fair, part craft fair, part county fair, and part Burning Man. A two-day, family-friendly event celebrating arts, crafts, engineering, science projects, and the do-it-yourself (DIY) mindset, Maker Faire is for creative, resourceful folks who like to tinker and love to make things. (We call them Makers). Check it out:
