The AWESOME Maker Faire

May 3, 2008 Saturday in San Mateo, CA
While I was out in Salt Lake City, Kai and Greg daddy took off to San Mateo to see the Maker Faire.

I really wish I could have been there as I love stuff like this. (remember I am an electronic geek)


Marla, Joel and Kai pose before this enormous sculpture reaching for a bird.


Man-powered vehicle. They are cycling like gerbils running on a wheel.


Giant spider.


Power-tool vehicle. (Has a little blood on the blade there!)


2-man cycle. Each one controls a wheel. I am guessing if one doesn't do the job you go in circles.

An eccentric bike attempted to be ridden by an eccentric guy (Joel).

Greg sits on a recumbent bike made of driftwood.

Kai freaks out with this Hewlett Packard Panda bear. Check out it's eyes!

I wouldn't stand between those two towers, would you?

Kai picks flowers with this Blondie on his break.

A possible futuristic vehicle? A camper shell converted into a roomy, living quarter. Greg thought this vehicle had more space than the Eurovan.

Electonic dinosaur that lost a huge bolt on its journey.

Kai takes a snooze in the van while Greg works on his bicycle in the garage.
