I took a break from some serious family business Saturday to help the guys at the NYC Chapter of The Open Orginasation of Lockpickers (TOOOL) at their booth at the NYC Maker Faire. If you’ve never visited their tent before, you really should. Tantric, Night Owl and Click gave these awesome presentations on the inner mechanisms of locks and their inherent flaws. They also left out locks and picks for people to take a crack. It is so cool seeing people pick their first lock. Their eyes light up and they scream.
This group is the real deal and it was a pleasure hanging out with them. I hope we get to see them again real soon.
Oh yeah, there was a giant fire-breathing robot at Maker Faire too.
