NYTimes Visits Menlo Park's TechShop
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.
Only in America, the Rich Kids playground. WHo would have thought. Just another "Pay a fee, play with the toys" strip mall Crap Fest.
Go fuck yourself and your rich kid friends. Drive your Beamers to your new playground while people live on a cup of rice a week. You suck.
