Hanging with teh l33ts at HackLabTO.

The mind-blowing CupCake 3D printer...

Walking into something like HackLabTO can a little intimidating for a n00b like yours truly, but man, am I glad I went!

Highlights include:

  • My first successful lock-picking (hi mom!);
  • A future promise of playing with an OpenMoko FreeRunner handset, courtesy of Mike from Germany;
  • Knowing that the future is in good hands with dedicated young journalists like Luke and Steph from Ryerson, and their MakerCulture blog.

Many thanks to my new friend Jaya for insisting that I attend. And in case you missed it, here's a Qik video tour I took on-site:

Hopefully there's something like this in Hotlanta -- hell, in *every* city...

Hmm, I also have a freerunning lying around doing nothing. I could leave it at the lab

Hiya Paul, I won't be back at HackLab for a couple of weeks, but if you and your FreeRunner are around in early December I'd love to meet both of you! B )
