LOS ANGELES--I was sitting in line waiting to get on my connecting flight to Austin, Texas, where I'm going to cover the behind-the-scenes activity at Maker Faire, when guess who walked up to join the queue?

It was none other than Maker Faire co-organizer and Boing Boing co-editor Mark Frauenfelder, also off to Austin for the event.

I love how small the world can be sometimes.
