Tom Rielly on Maker Faire

Tom Rielly of TED wrote a great review of the Maker Faire on the TED Blog.

Where can you find a man riding a giant giraffe robot, a fire-spewing electric cart equipped with sheep's wool seats, a plug-in Prius that gets 100 mpg, teams playing Segway Polo, model rocket launches, fashion shows with inflatable dresses, and parents and children enjoying every minute of it? Why, at Make: magazine's first ever Maker Faire, held this weekend in San Mateo, CA, bien sûr.

Update: Here's Bonnie Burton's review of the show.
