Our friends at the Official Star Wars.com Blog have some great coverage of Maker Faire 2008. If you are unaware of the event, see below for the excerpt/intro:
"Every year mad scientists, robot builders, power tool drag racers, craftsters, and other DIY guys and gals gather together at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds for one of the coolest events in the Bay Area — the Maker Faire!
This year there were plenty of fun things for Star Wars fans to see and do — including crafts, R2-D2 dancing, prop displays, the LEGO Jeep, Steampunk contraptions and more!"
