When the humble garage workshop just isn’t enough, or basement tinkerers tire of trying to go it alone, some turn to 'hackerspaces,' organizations that provide space, tools, and like-minded colleagues for unusual do it yourself projects. With Maker Faire in town this weekend, Kelly Maguire of NYC Resistor and Sean Auriti of Alpha One Labs discuss the ‘hackerspace’ movement.
