36. Hacking It

Behind the junkyard and strip club, in a cramped industrial garage off Pulaski Highway filled with saws, gears, drill presses, and duct tape, but also a high-end laser cutter, 3-D printer, 5-foot-functional robot, and laptops, Jason Morris ducks his head in the door to “oohs and aahs.” Morris, sporting new Google glasses, happily lets the guys here—it’s all guys tonight except for one woman at the Baltimore Hackerspace’s weekly open meeting—try on his computerized eyewear.

“A hacker space,” founding member Myles Pekala explains, refers to a place where you take one thing or several things and repurpose those things into something else.” It doesn’t mean breaking into CIA computers.
