May -08 Maker Faire day shots

This year, among other radical adventures, we are going to go to a number of festivals. The Maker Faire is a creative celebration of "Makers" - people that invent, create, re-purpose, hack, de-construct, re-structure, etc. It's all about creating stuff, making thing better, different, or just, well, odd.

On the way up, we went through the mountains, and ironically took a picture of the very sight of Lightning in a Bottle which was but a few weeks away for Delilah and I.
The 154 overlooking the lake where LIB will be -

My lovely ladies in the RV.
Central coast north of Morrow Bay, where we camped after Farmers Market.
Then, up the coast and met up with Jennifer, her son Max, which Delilah really enjoyed playing with, and even an occasional visit with Thomas, during his busy production schedule.

On Saturday, we hit the Faire and saw all sorts of odd and wonderful things:
A lego car. This is a mail carrier that has been covered in lego surfaces, so that you can, well, build stuff on it...
A "Steam Punk - Neo-Vicki RV". This is actually a steam powered (from a steam tractor motor) mobile victorian era home... Pretty cool stuff - they actually have a "camera obscura" inside to see whats going on out, and a balcony on the top.
A life size game of "Mouse Trap" that they demo several times through the day.

Electric powered muffin cars...


A "recycled computer skull" made from various mother boards. It actually presents some video, talks, etc.
The electric giraffe

And since blogger only likes so many pictures per post, the Makers Faire night shots are separate.
