Yesterday a neighbor, Carolyn Robbins, suddenly appeared at the front door. “I’m taking you to Maker Faire.” “Huh?” She had to say it at least three times. “Maker Faire?” “It’s in San Mateo, lots of cool things.” Neither of us wanted to go. However the alternative was just staying at home and Carolyn was driving. Oh well…
But it was really fun. Thousands of DIYers who were there basically to show off what they had made themselves. Most stands had nothing for sale.
I'm holding my Sony V1 camcorder in this free heat photo - why "free" - I don't know?
That’s odd these days. Did they pay for the stand? Come all the way from (say) San Diego just to show some strangers their pride and joy? I kept thinking what’s in it for them? I mean the man dressed in cardboard. What’s in it for him? I guess I’m too commercial.
The highlight was the ArcAttack in the main darken hall.
