Here's some cool stuff that I saw at the Maker Faire today :
- Forbidden Island : New (2010) game by Matt Leacock
- The Atari 800 : There was one in a booth at the faire and it reminded me that my family used to have one and it was alot of fun. I need to get an emulator.
- The Open Organisation of Lockpickers : I gotta get a kit from these guys, cool stuff.
- Educational Garden Tour on June 18th
- Lawn be Gone : The Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency had a booth with examples of replacements for lawn that use less water. Heck they'll also subsidize it for you.
- The Mushroom Kit : Grow your own mushrooms! Makes me think I should figure out how to get mushroom spores and use Kris's used coffee grounds (which we have a ton of) and grow some mushrooms.
- Night Shift : I gotta try out this LucasArts game from 1990. The premise is hilarious.
- Humble Earth Fireflies : Very cool idea (solar/battery powered LED fireflies). Maybe I'll try to make something (less complicated) than this that looks like fireflies.
- Digital Game Museum : These guys are doing cool stuff. Hope they get some funding.
- Rainwater Harvesting : Cool resources for setting up rainwater harvesting [1] [2] [3]

Wow, I am actually interested in almost all of this. Let’s get our lawn removal subsidized! And I definitely want to play that Lucas Arts game.
