NYTimes Visits Menlo Park's TechShop

Posted by timothy on from the edison-would-approve dept.

ridgecritter points out this interesting article in the New York Times on TechShop, a membership resource (a.k.a. hackerspace) in Menlo Park, CA, for building stuff. "From hammers to 3-D printers and laser cutters. Fun!" Along similar lines, and also recently in the NYT, a quick on-the-train conversation with Bre Pettis of MakerBot.

    FYI: I'm a college student and I drive a '91 Honda.

    With that 5 digit user id?!?

    What, you got a Slashdot account when you were 6? That would explain some comments.... So, you're one of those rich kids who like to slum it with an old Honda to look cool as a poor working class guy. eh?

    Or, you're an old geezer going back to school - like Rodney Dangerfield. Making Longfellow comments to hot teachers? Driving the old Honda to make a statement or something?

    Come on! You're a poser! Admit it!
