Finished off my first ever weekend at a #MakerFaire! I saw tons of innovation and got tons of inspiration! So many amazing things going on in the #MakerWorld!! So much I want to make!! #MakerFaireNYC #NYC #NYCLife #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #science #fun
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BoGInKDhLNz/Another favorite moment from #MakerFaireNYC was meeting #Archimedes, #AlexGlow’s amazing #familiar/#robot that moves on its own and can tell if you are happy or not (sorta). Check out more from Alex @glowascii or see her tutorial for her #RobotOwl: bit.ly/robotowl #MakerFaire #NYC #NYCLife
from my Instagram.One of my favorite moments from #MakerFaireNYC was seeing this woman’s #AudreyII #puppet! She makes me miss my own #puppeteering. Stupidly, I didn’t get her name/URL.Would love to see what else she’s done! #puppets #Audrey2 #LSoH #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #NYCLife #fun

After #MakerFaireNYC officially ended, it was fun watching #3Dprinted versions of #EdgarAllanPoe and #RosieTheRiveter get carried down the street. #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #NYCLife #science #fun
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BoF4T2aBIhJ/Another neat piece of tech I saw today at #MakerFaireNYC was a #hologram display at the #LookingGlass booth. The potential is obvious, I think. Check them out at @lookingglassfactory on IG or @lkgglass on Twitter. #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #NYCLife #science #fun

Here’s something I noticed on day 2 of #MakerFaireNYC—the #tapigami #StatueOfLiberty in that giant #MaskingTape #sculpture! I think she’s reaching for some freedom. #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #NYCLife #science #fun
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFvBg1Bfbg/And here is a sample of what I experienced in #ConnectedWorlds at the #NewYorkHallOfScience during today’s last day of #MakerFaireNYC for 2018. It was #MotionSensitive, not a touch screen. #Queens #NY #NewYork #MakerFaire #NYC #science #fun #NYC #NYCLife

Also got to experience #ConnectedWorlds—an immersive, interactive, permanent exhibition at #NewYorkHallOfScience that teaches kids/adults how different parts of nature are connected. It’s pretty cool! #MakerFaireNYC #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #science #fun

Today at #MakerFaireNYC I saw this amazing work of #art. It’s called TV Being 009, was created by artist #TaezooPark (@digitalbeing), and feels like it is actually what my mind looks like. #NYC #NYCLife #MakerFaire #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #science #fun

Quick trip to Target last night after #MakerFaireNYC & I find this guy looking like he’s @ the tail end of a bender after trashing the Halloween aisle! Side note: anyone else want to buy all the Halloween stuff Target sells or is it just my wife & I?🧛♂️🧟♀️
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BoElBuDhx8a/Pretty much the highlight of the day was watching the #HandOfMan—a large robot hand 2 volunteers from the crowd operate via 2 wirey gloves. Watch it try to drop a car from like 20ish(?) feet. #MakerFaireNYC #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #science #fun
from my Instagram.Check out this cool, um, #hologram #fan #3dprojector thing(?) at the #DigiKey/#MakerIO booth! It uses fan rotors as a screen and creates a very realistic hologram effect. #MakerFaireNYC #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #science #fun

Inside the #GreatHall at the New York Hall of Science is some pretty neat #StainedGlass (I think?). There is also a cool #MixedReality experience in here, too (not pictured). #MakerFaireNYC #NewYorkHallOfScience #Queens #NY #MakerFaire #NYC #science #fun

Remember those ads I posted about in that tunnel between #PortAuthority & #TimesSquare #subway stations here in #NYC? Well the story gets weirder. 😳🤷♂️ #NYCLife @SierraRein suggested a big video display like they have at #1WorldTrade might be installed. #GoodTheory

There’s a tunnel between #PortAuthority & #TimesSquare in #NYC that ALWAYS has ads for Apple filling every frame. For the last week they’ve all looked like these 5. You read it here 1st: it’s the new iPhone i! i for invisible. Just $1299. You’ll Like What You Don’t See

Starting to rewatch this series in preparation for season 7—this time in chronological order! I found a list 🤓 #StarWars #TheCloneWars
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BnxN5oNBasU/More test footage from the #NeewerG1 #ActionCamera this time of our #TortoiseShellCat sisters Hera (the lighter one) and Sabine (the darker one). Aren’t they #CUTE? #CatsOfEarth #cats
from my Instagram.Just some test #PSLRCNYC footage with my #NeewerG1 #ActionCamera that I found on #Amazon for $24. Spot my old #iPhone5s which I was hoping to use as a #CoasterCam but the shutter is too slow. Also #HeraTheCat makes a cameo. 😺#LegoRollerCoaster #Lego #CatsOfEarth #RollerCoaster

Uhhhh, looks like the #PassengerCam on the #PSLRCNYC is going to take a bit longer to work out. Anyone know an #iOS camera app that has a REALLY fast shutter? Or a cheap camera with a REALLY fast shutter? (PSLRCNYC=Pete & Sierra’s #LegoRollerCoaster in NYC) #Lego #RollerCoaster
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmEwoKhIat/Managed to catch Sabine, one of our #kitties, with my recently purchased #PolaroidCubePlus #camera. It’s a pretty amazing little #ActionCamera. It’s so small/convenient—#kitty can’t escape!! Nice job, @Polaroid! Watch for more #LegoRollerCoaster videos!#Polaroid #ActionCamera

Saw this on the #clearance/#discount shelf at @HomeGoods the other night. I think it’s an accurate diagnosis for America these days. #Hope just $11 because nobody what’s to spend money on it.
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjTs6CBzQN/Finally got a better, small camera! And while it’s just *slightly* too big, it is MUCH better quality and it has image stabilization.

From last night: 3 vans (plus one a block south not pictured) work to bring power back to my immediate #WashingtonHeights neighborhood. I say “immediate” because the building north of mine had power. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
from my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRiV1_BvRU/
Our neighborhood lost power for about 11 hours yesterday into late night. Pretty eery arriving at home at 2am to find pitch darkness where there has been light for the last 10 years. Luckily, we had plenty of flashlights around and power came back on around 4am. 👍 #NYC #NYCLife
