Open source hardware dinner

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I was at an interesting dinner last night with a new company called Bug Labs. Dave Winer was there and wrote it up. That of course caused all sorts of interesting discussions over on TechMeme.

Phillip Torrone, Phillip Torrone, are you out there? This is perfect for Make Magazine’s readers.
