October 2, 2008: Maker Faire In Austin

Maker Faire -- that collection of battlin' robots, flinging homemade catapults, and dancing soda sprays -- is coming to Austin in about two and a half weeks. At least a couple of folks from the office will be in attendance, but what to see?

If you've attended a Maker Faire in the past, let us know what exhibits are "can't miss." Is LN2 ice cream really worth the hype? How far back should we stand from the Eepybirds? Will cluster computing create Skynet?

If you're one of the 400 or so exhibitors, why not plug your activity/ware/act over in our "Geeks Rule!" forum?
