A Visit To Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
2008-05-08 04:26:00 The United States is a nation of tinkerers. We build, we modify, and we extend. We like to make devices do things that they are not designed to do, just to know that we've done it. This spirit was alive and well over the weekend at the San Mateo County Expo at the Maker Faire Bay Area. The Maker Faire was an absolute blast. I heartily recommend it to geeks of all kinds.

G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles or analog computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized lig...
