Hack a TFT and Mac mini into it!

Cory, congratulations on all of this, I'm so glad it's doing this well.

I must confess, I pirated the audio version of your book and listened to it during my commute for the past week. I've now got about 12 hours of podcasts to get up to date on so that should tell you something about how I liked the book... Anyway, I just ordered the hardcover off of Amazon, which by the way offers a much better price than the Dutch online stores, even with shipping from the US. I also got Scott Sigler’s Infected to support him podcasting all of his stuff, which is awesome. I’m recommending your book to everyone around me who will listen so I hope I’ve redeemed my piracy(arr).

Furthermore, thanks for mentioning Neil Gershenfeld and the FabLab at the end of the book. I’m currently working in the Amsterdam FabLab at the Waag Society, promoting the democratization of personal fabrication and technology. I’ve spent today giving a workshop to design student on the virtues of using technology and interaction in their designs and I find all of the hacking stuff in the book very interesting. I’ve been looking into creating some workshops that may really tie in well with the subject, which may be a nice idea for a link to create.

This has been a subject of media and political discussion over here in the Netherlands for some time now and I am really saddened that yet one more of my reasons to be proud of my nationality and country will be taken away. Banning mushrooms will only drive them into the criminal realm of XTC and cocaine, which will just exempt them from taxes and make acquiring them a lot more dangerous than using them ever was.
I advise smart shop owners to stock up on shrooms as long as they can, they can expect a surge in customer interest in the next few months. I at least know that I, as a casual soft-drug user will be taking advantage of my freedom and rights once more, for old time’s sake.

A friend of mine lives in one of these shipping containers at the old NDSM shipping yard in Amsterdam(as pictured above). I've spent a night or two in there and they actually make for pretty nice student housing. Decently sized and prized and just a short ferry ride away from the central train station and the city centre.
