I don&#39;t think so.  I think their names are just similar.<br><br>If you check out the article, it&#39;s like a club, a brain calestenics for nerds, where you can hack, engineer, build and happily access all manner of others doing the same things, with complete access to tools, labs, etc.<br>

A good idea for Phoenix?<br><br><a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2009/04/28/boing-boing-video-re-2.html" target="_blank">http://www.boingboing.net/2009/04/28/boing-boing-video-re-2.html</a><br><br>Anyone want to invest?<br>

<br>Okay, well if not for profit TechShop workshop membership, how about a nice FreeGeek recycler endeavor?<br>
Well, yes, it might not work, since one can toss out anything here without having to pay landfill prices like Boregon!<br><br>How about something in between?  A non-profit renovation that takes old equipment for a write off and renovates them for other non-profits?  I think federal grants are available?<br clear="all">
