Detroit Maker Faire Was Kinda Awesome
I was excited to have a chance to go to the Detroit Maker Faire this year. I've always wanted to
attend such a thing, but the stars never aligned. I saw an entire tent filled with DIY 3D Printers
making strange objects including the coolest polyhedral dice ever. Utilikilts held in place with suspenders! Haberdashery! Quilting! Blacksmithing! Books! A Cupcake Car! Gomp! Beer! Remote control turtles!
A giant hay bailer! Numerous strange pedal powered forms of locomotion, and an entire
garrison of Star Wars costumes... Besides, it's not often you have the opportunity to witness a giant steel dragon blow fireballs in a parking lot. I've shared a giant collection of photos if you want to see these things and more for a taste of the inspiring insanity I can't wait for next year... and between now and then I have some projects to tackle.
I think he was trying to express that there were dice of many shapes, without using so many words. If you just say 'dice', people will assume 6-sided.

How does this tripe get modded up? I have started a company out of my garage . . . for a while we only had a PO box, and we had prime contracts with DoD. There were no regulations keeping us down, and I went through a DCAA audit and passed with flying colors using quickbooks. If you're unable to figure out how to get it done, it might be your problem. I read about successful small business startups regularly: T-shirt companies, bike shops, software shops, solar system installers, furniture makers, accounting services, law firms, etc, and have several friends who have started several out of the previous list and none of them have been hampered in any way by regulations.
