The gates have just closed on the first day of Maker Faire. And man is our everything tired. It was an amazing first day, with gorgeous sunny skies, throngs of the curious and creatively-dressed, and some thousand makers enthusiastically chattering away about their clever creations. Here are a few highlights, taken from Maker Faire Daily:
