Hi Drew,

This has nothing to do with BeagleBone, but in case you didn't know RasPi's Rob Bishop is taking another Hackspace Tour this summer and is planning to visit Pumping Station: One. Exact route and times are TBD.

I saw Rob last year when his Hackspace Tour included San Francisco. It was a fun and highly informative visit -- Rob's a great guy.

Hi PS1, and hi Chicago! [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-148feddc-8d76-4ef9-b5fa-54b8bd38a7c1/contentimage_5F00_2516.png:16:16]

A very impressive hackerspace you have there. The scanning electron microscope especially caught my eye, as I've been following nanotechnology closely ever since Drexler's enormously inspiring Engines of Creation and his superbly informative and detailed Nanosystems textbook. An atomic force microscope would make a great companion for the SEM and a wonderful hackerspace project too, if you have people there who are strongly interested in nanotech.

After all, molecular nanotechnology will provide awesome 3D printing capability some day, an additive method of atomically-precise manufacturing in which the "glue" is molecular binding forces -- a natural fit for hackerspaces of the future!

All the best for your hackerspace challenge! [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-148feddc-8d76-4ef9-b5fa-54b8bd38a7c1/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]
