8. I would like to form a Special Projects Collective, where we will have some work space, a warehouse or something, and we will pool our money to have buckets of supplies and tools that everyone can use. The main resource I'd be looking to gain from such a scheme is the creative energy of everyone else involved, seeing everything that they are working on, building. That sort of thing is contagious and priceless. Sometimes I am skeptical that the right kind of people are here in Rochester, but right now I know that they are—but how to find them, rally them?

What sort of special projects?

Anything, really. If you assemble the resources, the means of production, then creative people will find interesting uses for them. Right now we're painting murals and making stained glass. I want to build LED POV toys, and giant kites made of tyvek. Whatever suits our fancy, basically. I am thinking electronics projects and others.

Check out the "Disco Dance Floor" some MIT students built. The movies are great: http://web.mit.edu/storborg/ddf/video.html
