Listen, I love the idea of getting back to coding, really I do.  But
the fact is, very little is actually happening in hackerspaces right
now.

I mean, let's be honest, hackerspaces haven't even hit the radar,
politically, economically, and socially speaking.  Show me where there
is something more that table top robots or javascript web portals and
a LOT of DESIRE to make a revolution.  I know the examples of great
projects, but they are very few in number.  It remains at the
periphery of EVERY power structure -- including universities for some
dumb-ass reason.

The whole internet revolution is getting co-opted, and along with it
hackerspaces.  Sadly, most don't even know because very few are
specialists in media studies.   Even MIT has dropped the ball somehow
and they have a CENTER FOR IT (i.e. media studies).

You tell me genius.  What explains NOTHING CHANGING AT ALL IN THE
WORLD?  Despite all of the investment, equipment, and passion for
change?
