[hackerspaces] New television show looking for Modern-day MacGyvers

[Joshua Pritt]

Makers Local 256 got approached for a TV deal about two years ago too.
 Nothing ever came from it.  We had to go through the idea of camera crews
all over the shop and how it would interfere with other people working on
projects and other members that did not want to be on camera.  But this
seems to come up a lot as you can see from that tumblr post and never goes
anywhere.
