That's ok... neither did I... until I met Adam (the guy in the mustache in the first shot) and his gang of single-wheeling buddies. Meeting up at a local Berkeley basketball court, these guys (and gal) spent a couple hours racing back and forth through several games. Apparently, they are all practicing for this year's Unicycle Olympics to be held in New Zealand. Yeah, I never heard of that either... Good luck Adam and team!
On Father's Day in the city of Los Gatos, the Annual Charity Rubber Ducky Race was held. Basically, each rubber ducky was adopted by a person with a donation and the person with the winning duck got a prize. Pretty fun day even though the race itself lasted about 10 minutes. In one of the pics, you can see Steve Wozniak, the honorary guest who led off the race. Kathy Griffin was nowhere to be seen...
Over the weekend, the San Mateo Expo Grounds hosted the 2009 Maker Faire, a two-day, family-friendly event to make, create, learn, invent, craft, recycle, think, play and be inspired by celebrating arts, crafts, engineering, food, music, science and technology. Jeannie and I spent the day wandering through the exhibition halls taking a look at all of the gadgets people had brought in to show. Definitely a place for inspiration and just general wackiness!
