The other day, Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing and NPR fame pinged me to point out a video they did about a guy (Carl Rankin) who builds cool airplanes and flying machines out of junk.
Yeah, he takes the stuff that we'd normally throw away and turns them into flying machine.
That has Maker Faire written all over it, doesn't it? :-)
Cool stuff.
