You know you’ve moved to the right town when it hosts an unbridled geek fest extravaganza each year. I presented as a Maker in 2007 for Slooh - “Armchair Astronomy.”  I think I had more fun this year, just being able to play, think, observe, and meet cool people.

MakerFaire fills me with hope for the future by demonstrating that everyone isn’t just watching TV & shopping. We’re taking control of technology and creating everything from a Peanut Butter Monster Detector to a house for Katrina survivors that can be assembled with just a rubber mallet.

Check out my MakerFaire Flickr set so see some highlights. I used my new Nikon D90, haven’t read the instructions yet, but it’s proving to be a great little photo machine. I also shot this short video of the Tesla Coil music performance. Enjoy.
