The Bay Area Maker Faire was this weekend at Vallejo's Mare Island. Makers showed off robots, drones and all sorts of unusual forms of locomotion. Presentations taught aspiring makers from 2 to 92 how to get started building their own wild inventions.

Few @sfgate.com stories have generated as much feedback as Charles Russo's discovery of a set of lost Ansel Adams photos that were never before seen by the general public and unknown to even his biographers and archivists.

We figured some of it might be worth sharing:

Readers, academics, trustees overwhelmed by discovery of new Ansel Adams photos

Few stories have generated this much reader feedback.

Profiled John Law, a Merry Prankster who may very well be the most interesting man in San Francisco @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

He co-founded Burning Man. It was the least interesting thing he ever did.

After a tragedy in 1996, John Law disavowed the festival he helped launch.

To the average Californian, pickleball is often associated with gentrification and noise complaints. But to those incarcerated in the state's prisons, the sport is a powerful support system based on rehabilitation for those who need it most. My latest: www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

The unlikely Calif. place where pickleball doesn’t generate noise complaints

There's more to prison pickleball than the Scott Peterson incident.

Trumer Pils is not only a delicious beer, it also has fascinating story.

www.sfgate.com/food/article...

This Berkeley brewery only makes one beer. And it's winning everything.

The only beer packaged and released in its history is also "the most awarded pilsner beer in the world."

I could never give up my smartphone.... or could I? @bimonthly.bsky.social went old-school in one of the most inspiring stories we've published all year www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

I abandoned my iPhone for a $90 flip phone. Life's never been better.

A piece of janky hardware succeeded where no screen time tracker could.

Apartment rentals sure have changed in SF — in the 80s, you could pay $200 to literally live inside a beer tank or $25 for an air shaft. I interviewed the punk rockers that ran the abandoned Hamm's Brewery like an anarchist co-op, with gun ranges and a dominatrix studio. @sfgate.com @longreads.com

How a once-famous San Francisco building spiraled into pure anarchy

"The Vats" housed a dominatrix studio, a gun range and hundreds of punk rockers.
