Went to Charlotte and rode the CATS Blue Line light rail for the first time ever to downtown then two block walk to Discovery Place Science Center (Stink-O rainy day.)  The center was packed with kids and a few teens there for a Mini-Maker Faire.  Seems like the biggest city in the state can't get enough techies together to put on a full blown Maker Faire.

Did see what to me is a unique CRT clock...  Six hacked Sony Watchman TVs to show time.  My cell phone camera is pretty basic and has poor dynamic range in low light, but trust me all six digits were showing fine.  Apparently VERY LITTLE talk going on about how the hack was made...  Just kids giving a half blank look, maybe saying cool and moving on.  Sigh....
