MakerFaire 2008

advice to heed if you're going to go to MakerFaire 2009;

1) take public transport, or get there very early or quite late

2) do not forget to take a real camera

ok. once we got there, it was cool. the map confounded me for some time, but eventually we were able to move around with ease.

lurking in the hidden Disney corner, we found all kinds of cool stuff:

Napa Tour de Cure

should have posted last night, but, well, couldn't really walk.

I have one picture to share, but I'm not smart enough to upload it right now.

In the meantime, check out the Craigslist Rigshock Riders 100 mile ride pictures

and here's the one picture I took at the rest stop, about 15 miles into our 25 mile total...
