   Nothing beats a cupcake except maybe a cupcake on wheels.

   …and a wonderful closing paragraph in Design News:

   While waiting on the Caltrain platform for my return to San Jose, I spied a dad with two kids: a brother and sister who looked like they were perhaps 9 and 8 years old respectively. Each child held a foot-long purple rocket with an expended rocket engine still in place. The girl’s rocket had lost one of its four stabilizer fins, probably from a bad landing in the parking lot after its inaugural flight. It didn’t matter. She wasn’t letting it out of her tight grasp. She’d made something herself. She’d launched it herself. It streaked into the sky and returned to earth. Now she was taking it home. In just a few short hours, that little girl learned about the power and thrill of making something spectacular and then using it. She’d touched the exquisite creative joy that sits at the core of engineering just as the vehicle developers at the Maker Faire surely have. You could see it in the way she held her rocket. She now had bragging rights.

   Do you know where I’d find the cupcake people? "The Cupcake People." I may need to build a duck version of the cupcake. "Need."
