Maker Faire live video

I'm here at Maker Faire in San Mateo. If you aren't one of the 100,000 people here to celebrate The Greatest Show (and tell) on Earth, you can still experience it through our Maker Faire Live site, with five different video feeds. Gareth Branwyn and I will be interviewing makers on the Fishbowl Camera feed. Join in on the fun by tweeting with the #makerfaire hash tag.

Mark Frauenfelder is the founder of Boing Boing and the editor-in-chief of MAKE and Cool Tools. Twitter: @frauenfelder. Come and hear Mark speak at the ALA conference in Chicago on July 1.

Cool. I went for the first time last year (though I didn’t spot you, Mark – I was looking) and am sad I’m missing it this year.

I just came home from the Faire. 100,000 people is too many people.

I was there today, my first time. What a madhouse! I wasn’t expecting anything quite so overwhelmingly huge. Going was a total coincidence — I was making a cross-country drive in the Miata following the old Lincoln Highway and happened upon an announcement of the Faire so I decided to stay in the Bay Area before heading up the coast and thence to Yellowstone and then home to Tennessee. It was fun but I was disappointed to find nobody selling components for walking ‘bots, my next project. Oh well…

BTW loads of good food vendors.
