Maker Faire Bay Area 2009 is the World’s big DIY (Do-It-Yourself) event. Each year over 600 do-it-yourselvers get together to show off their stuff - things they’ve created and invented on their own. The event started in 2006 and is in its third year of existence
Sponsored by Make Magazine, the event is DIY creativity and resourcefulness at its fine-ist!
In our neck of the woods it was hosted on the San Mateo County Expo Center grounds in California for two full days (May 30th and 31st) of play and innovation. Certainly not enough time to see how much resourcefulness and creativity there is here in the Bay. But so inspiring none the less. You leave wanting more - with your own creative juices fully flowing.
This year’s theme “ReMake America - Building a Sustainable Future,” was based on President Obama’s call to action to become part of a new era of Do-It-Yourself.
Some of the DIY themes and projects this year included bicycle powered spin art, hydrogen powered rockets, creating power from everyday waste, making your own robot from recycled products, building electric go carts, building bikes with discarded stuff, how to grow your own mushrooms and food! Glorious food!
Xtracycle donated the use of our Fleet of Radishes for the crew of the Maker Fair to help them move their stuff and people around. From the smiles and hooping and hollaring - we sure could tell they were having fun, while working it - thanks to the Radish!
More fun then a barrel of monkeys and a faster than your averaged life sized snail.
Hey everyone. We’ve been a bit busy the past few months and have noticed that our blog has been … lacking.
Mark says hello and tells you where to go
The weather around these parts turned obscenely nice this past weekend and we were all out enjoying it.
Rick, our pixel pusher and general coordinator of destruction, has been spending time at the Temescal Farmers market giving free tune-ups and advice to anyone.
Rick's rig all packed up
Jeremy, one of our strategists and Jason, Web/IT went up to Annadel State Park on Sunday for some singletracking fun. They found out that while humans like strawberry Clif shot blocks, amphibians haven’t learned how tasty they are yet.
This amphibian wanted to hang out. We thought we'd be nice and offer up a snack.
That’s all for now. We’ll have some more news later this week.
