Maker Faire 2008

It's turning into a bit of a tradition for us to attend the Maker Faire, a sort of burning man/science project/crafts fair gone wild.


It's particularly convenient for us to attend since it's held each year at the San Mateo County Fair Grounds, just miles from where we live!


Highlights from this year included self-propelled carnival rides, all sorts of robots and radio-controlled objects zooming around the fairgrounds, exhibits involving loud pyrotechnics, fountains of pressurized Coca-Cola being launched into the air, and a guy using knitting needles to play the drums while simultaneoulsy knitting CD covers (talk about multi-tasking!). We were there for just a few hours and only touched the tip of the iceberg.
