Had a great time today going to the 2013 Maker Faire in San Mateo today. Bought a marshmallow shooter kit for Tyler and a t-shirt for myself and figured I would buy anything else online at a later point. I found the people attending the event to be very pleasant and the makers excited to show off and talk about their projects. As a first time attendee I would recommend going early because parking became difficult at 11am and we had to walk a few miles to and from the event as a result. I pushed Tyler in an umbrella stroller which he is border line too big for but asking a six year old (as of today) to walk that much would have been tough on him. He stayed in the stroller most of the time until he saw the Streampunk inspired former airplane mover he had to go in. We stood in line for about an hour in the sun for that. I’ve been thinking about getting an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi and was going to get one at the event but decided to buy it online as well in the future.

Pine Mountain Lake Panorama
Bay Area to Portland or Bust
I love roadtrips, especially the drive between the Bay Area and Portland. Here are some of the pictures from yesterday while driving. Hey, it kept me awake.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
Angel Island Segway Tour
Had a great time and luckily had some amazing weather. Angel Island is a great place to visit to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

JeremyPerson.com At Stonehenge
Before Russell went on vacation, he said he owed me for not getting something done before he left. I said to forget about it and just have a great time…but if he could take a picture with him in front of Stonehenge (with a JeremyPerson.com sign of course) it would be epic.
Well, he did it and I have to say it made my week. Thanks, Russell, I absolutely love it. This was really thoughtful of you, and I didn’t think you would actually do it!
Original Hawaiian Chocolates
Here are the videos I shot of the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory tour in Kona, HI. As you can see I clearly have some great video shooting skills…not. Not the most exciting videos but if you want to learn about how chocolate is made, these are the videos for you.
