Thursday night – after work in SF

I’m still reeling from yesterdays news I’ve heard from so many good friends who were caught in the layoffs. My thoughts are so with everyone effected.. It still seems pretty unreal..

It was honestly hard to concentrate on work today.. though I did. We fished up a very good set of meetings out here. I really enjoy the partner we’re working with here.. and look forward to working with them.

Our meetings were during the day.. I did make good use of the time after our meetings. Yesterday between our meetings and dinner I ran out to meet my new friend John at his maker space “freespace’. John has been advising soem of the Vermont makers on our planned makerspace activity.

Freespace is a new collective of artists and makers. I sent a good hour and half there checking it out and talking to some of the many folks that were hanging out in the new space. They’ve only been there 11 days, but already it’s decorated and homey.. Check out some of these murals ! All new in the last 11 days !

It was great getting to hang out with John and his friends.

Today we had soem good meetings .. then we got a tour of onne of the copanys new maker spaces.. check out the view from this ironing board..

and check out this swinging conference table they invented !

By the end of tat meeting it was late afternoon. I took a quick half hour to tour the new Exploratorium site.. it’s amazing.. I loved the old setting at the exhibition center.. but this new space is so nice and bright !!.. I ran aorud looing forold favorite demos.. and soem new stuff. it was great.. check out this water fountain !
