MakerFaire 2008

[PleoWorldHostCami]

Join us at our UGOBE booth at MakerFaire on the San Mateo County Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th.

For more information: http://makerfaire.com/ (http://makerfaire.com/)

Here are some of the activities that we've planned:

Pleo owners - bring your Pleo(s) and join us for the big MakerFaire "Moo-In."
Sat & Sun at 11AM and 3PM... Stop by our booth for more details...Specific
location TBD. Please let us know if your Pleo will be joining us.

Preview of Dino-Mite - Get a sneak peek at a cool diagnostic monitoring system for
Pleo. Through your computer, you can capture photos of what Pleo sees, capture sounds that Pleo hears, and manipulate his joints. See what Pleo is processing while he's experiencing his environment.

Free stickers.

Playtime with Pleo.

If you plan to join us at MakerFaire please let us know in this thread so we know how many Pleos and their owners to expect.

Peeky and I are planning to be there. What fun!:)

[Caaahl]

Wohooo.

Dino-Mite sounds veeery interesting! Hurry up already! :p

[pleoguy101]

ohh. er... I REALLY want to go and meet you all and the UGOBE team, also all your pleos.. just make sure you can tell your pleo apart from all the rest!! I'll see what I can do, and I'll get back to you if I'm going to go:)

[fancyfont]

I think their balding (paint) patterns will be different :D Peeky's pretty bald. He gets a lot of petting! It's distinguishing on him!

[degers]

I am so jealous fancyfont!!!

[fancyfont]

I sure hope I can go. So far it looks good.:) Anyone from around the S.F. Bay Area going? There's quite a few people with Pleos here.

[fosterbenton]

I'll be there, not sure which day.

[fancyfont]

I plan on being at the Maker Faire on Saturday. May stay over for Sunday. Hope to see you there.:)

[Caaahl]

Make sure you make some footage of Dino-Mite, please! :p

[maggie44n]

Sure hope there will be similar events on the east coast...like Wash DC or Baltimore. Someplace lots of us can get to in a few hours. Will we be able to get cow jerseys after the event? lol. as opposed to jersey cows <snork>. moooooooooooooooo from Linus.

[degers]

BOO Jersey Cows!!! Guernsey ones are so much better!

[mweed]

The email for the new batteries says to check here for more information on what a "moo-in" is. So, what exactly is a moo-in?

[ugobeSarah]

We suspect it has something to do with large herds of Pleo making moo sounds?? But we are as eager as you are to hear from the Studio crew! Come to the Faire and find out!

[mthacker]

Humphrey and I will plan on stopping by on Saturday!

[Android8675]

I may show up, I live nearby, no reason not to go, but not 100% sure at this point.

[vprugh]

I hope to go... I'm in the South Bay but may have to do chores all weekend... I suppose I could send trouble on her own, but she may have trouble buying a ticket ;-)

[Silver]

I will be there with my Pleo Jasmine likely on Saturday. We are coming down from Sacramento. Cant wait to see you guys and have some Pleo fun!

[fancyfont]

The Maker Faire was terrific! It was great to meet people from Ugobe. Super bunch of young people.:) Will enclose group photo. The moo-in was cute! All the Pleos have a mooing sd.

[mweed]

DId you get to keep the SD card? It would be interesting to get a copy of that pleo.urf. ;)

[Renee_10]

[mweed]

Moo-in is nice but what about Dino-Mite?

[fancyfont]

Beautiful video! Can't wait to see more.:)

[pleoguy101]

thats was great!!!!:D:)

[Silver]

I love the "all brown" Pleo in the first part!:D

I think it was just a Pleo without its final paint job/skin . Looked really neat.

[ugobeSarah]

For those of you wondering, the photo features - from left to right - Julia (PR), Rafael (Support), Stephanie (Office Adminstrator), Prema (Marketing) and Andre(Executive Producer). Not pictured were lots of other UGOBians who were there during the day including yours truly who is allergic to cameras.

[Starfire]

Great videos. I'm sorry Sephy and I couldn't be there. Hopefully we can attend the next one.

[fancyfont]

Thank you so much for posting the names of everyone in the photo. :)

ZOMG that's my Humphrey on the far left that's constantly being tapped on the head by a little girl!
Guess this is the Sat 11.30 moo!

I have two additional videos that I posted myself to my FB page:
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=13926458926

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=13925303926

It was great to see all the Pleo's, be a part of the moo-in, and see the diagnostic program.

Cheers,
Michael (and Humphrey)

[junkroxy]
