    Maker Faire 2009 exhibition of Do-it-Yourself projects of all kinds.

    "SteamPunk" is a combination of 1800's and 21st century tech.

    Sparkfun is a great source for kits. Build your right at the Faire.

    Even Obama was there!

    Jack Sparx (a Ham but forgot his call) does a demo of a Van De Graph generator.

    Maker Faire 2009 was a great place to show off Ham Radio!
