Will HopkinsI got the last sewing machine up for grabs at the library today. That means I have two weeks of mad sewing ahead of me. #learningtosew #helpIsewedmyfingerstogether
It's still crazy to me that my library lends sewing machines. But then again the Ann Arbor District Library is just that cool. #library #aadl #supportlibraries
dsrg@willhopkins Libraries are (can be!) really true maker spaces and centers of learning. Like the maths in Anathem.
@Dsrg that's my favorite book of all time, and I quite agree. Beyond the inherent makerspaceness of libraries, my teacher started a makerspace as a partnership between the library and university, and I have a class there every week where we study makerspaces and the maker movement. It's amazing.
@willhopkins I actually had to read it a second time to really get into it, but then it blew me away. I'm guessing you're a fan of The Long Now Foundation?
@Dsrg believe it or not it's my first time hearing of it!
@willhopkins Anathem was inspired by The 10,000 Year Clock, a Long Now project. Their seminar series is absolutely amazing. Well worth the membership fee. http://longnow.org
