Maker Faire is a two day festival that’s all about DIY (do-it-yourself), and yes it’s really spelled that way. I went with Dave and Adam (two guys from work) and their girlfriends (yeah, being the 5th wheel is pretty awesome).

Anyway, it was pretty incredible…there were people driving around in cupcake cars, huge steel sculptures (pictured above), battle-bots, steampunk everything, a larger than life rendition of the Mousetrap game, lots of things on fire, a lego covered Jeep, torque driven spheres…and I probably missed the vast majority of what I saw there. Check out more photos via Flickr, either a set or slideshow.
