• We had mad fun at Maker Faire 2007. Hosted at the San Mateo Fairgrounds, the two day event featured everything from DIY electronics to a life size (and mostly working) recreation of the game Mouse Trap. Wooden bicycles roamed about (along with the delightfully odd creations of Cyclecide, at least one steam powered car, and a lot of remote control ... stuff.) • Throw in the crafts section (sewing, knitting and prints... oh my!), hands on activities with everything from button repair to home sized computer controlled plywood cutters, and, well, you've got some serious fun. • We'll try to give you a taste of the Faire, and get a little DIY in the show today. • Speaking of Do It Yourself, we've got Roger's favorite apps for your cell phone. • Patrick's going to (try and) build the MintyBoost USB Charger Kit this week. • Do it yourself canned air? Matthew says it works, and it won't catch on fire! • Xbox Soft Mod: Eamon wants to know if he can upgrade his hard drive, too. • Looking into doing a live stream online, Cameron? We've got some ideas on how you can pull that off without going a) mad or b) broke if it gets super popular.
