We had an unexpected delay in San Francisco - so we are not shipping any orders on Tuesday, May 7th.  But we are set for tomorrow so normal shipping will resume on Wednesday May 8th, our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We are going to be at one of the two coolest shows on earth, the San Francisco Bay Area MAKER FAIRE! (The other coolest show is the Austin version!) So we are packing up shop and heading down to beautiful California where it’s warm and not snowing! If you are in the area, have a load of free air miles and/or a private jet be sure to come check it out, it’s guaranteed to be a blast! And be sure to check out our booth and say hi, maybe even buy a Herbie or three!

Considering this, the office will be on minimal staff for the next week, so please be considerate to those unfortunate few who have to stay behind, they are already upset that some of us will have a head start on our tans. But never fear, we are still shipping orders every day except for Friday May 2nd and Monday May 5th.

I love MAKE magazine. I always enjoy reading (then trying) the projects in each magazine. I was a bit disappointed in their last issue where they didn’t cover the complete process to make gunpowder, but that’s a minor complaint.

I just noticed on their blog that they’re talking about our Solar Pendulum kit and Christopher Pepe’s version he built from our book “Junkbots, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels”. Always nice to see other successful projects online!
