Maker Faire 2009 in San Mateo

The "Rave Raffe," an electric giraffe one always runs into at Burning Man, made an appearance.

Freaks and geeks welcome! That was the unofficial motto of the 4th Annual Maker Faire, Make magazine's premier showcase for do-it-yourselfers of all stripes who live to build unusual, beautiful things and sometimes blow them up. Photos by Tamara Palmer and Sam Prestianni.
