I saw TechShop[1], a San Francisco area makerspace featured on CNN's "The Next List"[2[ today. It operates on a similar monthly membership model to Artisan Asylum.
The best known project shown on the program was Square[3], the credit card reader for smartphones. They also showed a kayak that folds up to a suitcase size package using origami techniques. JIm Newton, the founder, says that plan to open up TechShops all across the country. 1. http://www.techshop.ws/ 2. http://whatsnext.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/12/my-question-what-do-you-want-to-make/ (that's a blog posting summarizing a bit of the show; unfortunately the list of past episodes that are viewable online doesn't include any of the ones from the past few months) 3. https://squareup.com/ -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
