Show me yours, and I'll tell you about mine!

[Dan Goldstein]

 Thats right folks a month has passed and your projects are due!

Sorry too long in academia..

No grades, No tests, just making for makings sake.

So Thursday at our regular hacknight we'll do a bit of show an tell by members, and visitors. Bring what you have been making. Show it off, and tell us about it. Questions?

Looking for collaborators for your world domination scheme?

I'll bring my moving, still mostly destroyed, cardboard bot. (It looks more like a pile of torn cardboard that moves at this point..

Isiah maybe you can give a little intro to the bicycle generator project the Unschool is starting on.

( Oh yeah didn't I tell you talking about the project is the "rent" for keeping it here!)

Matthew? Dangerous things that move? Any updates?

David, Ryan, things that 3D print?

Oh, prez Zach, Your big new toy, lurking in the space? 

And plenty of other things I am sure.

Word is our outgoing treasurer Matthew is going to give a very short summary of our financial state of affairs.  Should we be packing up? No, but we do need to keep on top of the finances of our little organization. How many members are paying dues regularly? Can we continue to make the rent here? Can we expand and buy toys we all want?

Ok enough. Be there or be square...

"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory   out there - good for you.
 
But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of the police forces and the fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory...
 
Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and you pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
