What is a hacker space?
It's a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.
We are accepting memberships! Please see the Membership Manual for details.
Currently we meet every Wednesday at 7:00pm at 3927 W. Roll Avenue, Bloomington, Indiana. These meetings are open to the public; anyone is welcome to attend. We usually meet for 2-3 hours and have a lot of fun. Having access to tools is only part of the equation, socializing with people and learning from each other is another large benefit from our group. Pretty much whatever people want to work on or learn is fair game. We currently have an electronics and robotics focus but there's also interest in general science and astronomy as well. If it's cool and interesting then we are all interested.

At the first of a lot of years, a wide variety of regulations are passed into law. Some, however, like the Clean Air Act, were signed into law but there was a five-year set point after the law was signed because there were a lot of areas that needed to have enough time to research what needed to be done and how to do it, such as when the oil companies had to stop using liquid lead compound in gasoline. The car industry also had a challenge to improve cars with better mileage.
What the politicians do not consider is the cost to companies to meet the regulations. In general, all companies had to improve their records on releasing toxic vapors to the open air. To accomplish these steps, it would cost all companies a lot of extra money to meet the regulation. Ten years after the law was in place, Congress wanted to know why the cost of gasoline had increased. The oil companies tried to point out that there were a lot of costs connected to accomplishing the task.
There were other comments made concerning the law. At what point does a regulation go too far. As we all know, companies pass on the cost to meet the regulation to the public. The politicians defend that by saying that it will only add a few pennies to the cost of products in the long run if the food industry had restrictions put in place. Then, over time, the cost of living would increase.
