to see what the event is like before the tens of thousands of attendees show up, and to watch the makers setting up their goods.</div> <bR> <div> One person who has been at all five Maker Faires is Lindsay Lawlor, creator of the Electric Giraffe Project, formerly known as the 'Rave Raff.</div> <bR> <div> This year, the giraffe has some hot new features, particularly new mechanical work that allows its head to move side to side and up and down, either autonomously or when controlled by a person.</div> <div> Here, Lawlor poses with the giraffe.</div> <div> Photo by Daniel
