June 1, 2008: Maker Faire In Austin

As reported earlier this month, Maker Faire is a gathering of hand-made gadgets, power tools perverted into performance art, and general geek glee. The attendance for the Bay Area event was over 65,000, with over 500 exhibitors. There's a few thousand images of the festivities on Flikr and YouTube.

And this October, it's coming to Austin. Oh, you know we've got to see this . . .
