[Robotgroup] Hello from Maker Faire! :)

[Vern Graner]

So I'm sitting here by the pool in San Mateo... freezing my but off! :) 
Its about 51 degrees and the crosswind here is chilling me big time. I'm 
down here cause the WIFI doesn't reach to our room so I have to come 
down here. Anyway, circumstances being what they are I'm gunna make this 
short.. A few notables:

1) The new Maker Faire poster features the PONGINATOR in "8-bit" style

2) The Poster also has the ping pong printer shown! :)

3) Adam Savage from Mythbusters was here and we got an autograph and he 
ended up with a couple of Ping Pong Printer printed Ping Pong balls (I 
didn't bring the printer, just some of the left over balls) Check his 
left hand in the photo w/Nic & Sami.. he's holding them!

( heh! lots of good jokes there.. or not so good jokes.. ;)

4) I'm freezing and I'll try to caption and type more stuff tomorrow. we 
open first thing! ;)

So, for now, here's the link to a few of the pictures:
