Maker Faire website — Lots of up to date information and content about the event. It’s your main portal to Faire happenings.

Maker Faire Daily — Our fast-moving feed of Faire sights and sounds, contributed to by staff authors and a few alpha makers.

Today’s Headliners: At 11am on the Tesla Stage, Fiesta Hall, Discovery channel’s Mike Rowe will be headlining. And at 12 Noon MythBuster’s Adam Savage will take to the stage. Then at 2pm, Nolan Bushnell, best known as the founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theater, and revered as the “Father of the Video Game Industry,” will take the mic. What a line-up!
