\"Austin
\nA couple weeks ago, I had the chance to witness the birth of a brand new hackerspace<\/a> while visiting Austin<\/a> for a few days.<\/p>\n

The aptly named Austin Hackerspace<\/a> is located a few minutes south of downtown (on Ben White Blvd.) in an unassuming shop building (very easy to miss, look for the enDesign sign).<\/p>\n

By California standards, the space is pretty big (insert joke about Texas here):<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/p>\n

The founders<\/a> are taking an interesting approach to building the hackerspace.\u00a0 Studios are being constructed around the outside of the space.\u00a0 They are renting 1\/4 studio slots to interested hackers that need a place to store their stuff or work on projects in a quiet, air conditioned environment.<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/p>\n

Access to the common areas is free (as long as a key-carrying member is present).\u00a0 There are already some tools available for shared-use, such as the large CNC X-Y stage (a work in progress) shown here:<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/p>\n

There is also lounge with a video projector for meetings (dorkbot!) and some comfy chairs.<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/p>\n

Drill presses and other tools (which I assume will be available for use in the space) are being temporarily stored inside a large paint booth, which will also be available to members.<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/p>\n

On my way out, I spotted some evidence that there will be some interesting hacking happening here in the near future…<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/p>\n

Interested in helping out? \u00a0 They are looking for volunteers<\/a>.\u00a0 More photos are here<\/a>, and more info\u00a0 about the space is available at austinhackerspace.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
