Today is AS220′s annual Foo Fest, and in addition to the AS220 Labs Fab Lab, as well as many artists and musicians you’ll see, the Rhode Island Mini Maker Faire has a table set up where you can get information about the Faire, and have your picture, er, point cloud taken with a Kinect connected to a Mac running Kyle McDonald’s KinectToStl.
