Could you kindly email me (address in profile), this is a very interesting comment and I wish to discuss some of it with you offline. One thing I've noticed among "hacker spaces" and the machine shop company is that they have very few ties to higher edu, but they're doing VERY similar things. Even considering the machine shop company has a deal with Arizona State University, their crossover is limited. At that location, the spaces are actually physically delineated.

hacker spaces and universities strike me as nearly polar opposites. what do you think it is they're doing that's similar?
