From 757Labs
I was recently in NYC for MakerFaire and met lots of great people. However I gave out contact cards without my personal contact info just that of 757labs. My bad, not intentional.
Fast way to explain what a hackerspace is:
I was explaining to someone that I am a member of a hackerspace and the friendly tone turned frosty at the mention of the word "hackerspace". They asked "So what do you do there steal people's credit cards or something?" I asked if they knew about the show. They did and I said that we did things like that: taking things apart to see how they worked, inventing, repurposing stuff, playing with lasers. The conversation turned friendly again.
So if you are riding by on the tide and see a sign in the window of 757Labs that says:
What is a Hackerspace?
Think McGyver
I might have had something to do with that. I mean if it is good enough to be a liked Super Bowl ad then it should be pretty universal, right?
