Maker Faire has come and gone; it was fantastic and we're back in the saddle. A HUGE thank you to everyone involved with Bay Area Maker Faire: attendees, makers, exhibitors, sponsors, volunteers, and crew ... it was AMAZING! Over 400 Makers and 45,000 attendees! Be sure to check out photos on Flickr, and scope our Maker Faire posts for all the action! Next up, Maker Faire Austin: October 20 & 21, 2007 at the Travis County Fairgrounds!
Here are some selected posts, videos, news, and more from the event for you to enjoy!

Dad's Ultimate Tool: The MAKE Warranty Voider
Small enough to fit on your keychain, the MAKE Warranty Voider is the perfect companion for mobile fixing, hacking, and MacGyvering. This custom offering features "MAKE: Warranty Voider" lovingly laser-etched using a 35W laser. It's like a toolbox in your pocket. Squirt P4 (plier version) also available. And now through Father's Day, get 20% off this must-have and everything else in the Maker Store using promo code FATHER. We've got T-shirts, kits, books, everything your dad could want.

Maker Faire Photos
Hi Makers! Thanks to everyone who came out to the Maker Faire and helped make it a success! We had so much fun meeting everyone. We'll have plenty of recaps for you on the MAKE blog once we get all our photos up and have sufficiently recovered from our aching feet. If you missed it, we'll be doing another Maker Faire this October 20-21 in Austin so we hope to meet you there!
