Maker Faire 2010

Steampunk Still Life

The Bay Area’s Maker Faire gets bigger every year, and despite the hefty crowds, it’s well worth the trip.

I was there today with Scott & some friends and despite being there from open to close, we still didn’t see everything there was to see. You can find everything from robots and tesla coils to musicians and chickens. I saw a DIY butter making station, a human-powered merry-go-round, a bunch of art cars (shades of Burning Man?), the awesome Eepybird.com guys, and WAY more than I could possibly list here.

What’s sticking with me the most was the steampunk stuff. I’ve been aware of steampunk for a while now in a casual way but after checking out several of the substantial steampunk displays at Maker Fair I’m very impressed.

I’ve got some photos from today up here.

  1. What a terrific picture of our Pepper Box gun!

    It was a pleasure to entertain you with a little steampunk goodness! I hope you had a chance to write a letter at the St. Clair Aeronauts Zeppelin Airlmail Booth. We certainly love the fact that Maker Faire gives us a chance to be creative with our Bay Area neighbors.
