Once again the brief period of excitement I had shortly before the closure of TechShop is roused. They very foolishly offered me three months free, and all of the classes I could take during that time, free! I did every class but the CNC embroidery. Completely hog wild. In my defense, I was primed for it: extensive drafting courses, some engineering courses, the ability to do math with a parametric mindset, woodworking in high school, some focus on material when I was still on an engineering path before switching to physics, and so on. I just lit up and ran about the place like a crazed monkey churning out personalized knickknacks for friends, throwing together little projects, doing a spot of weird art. All of the spaces are now faaaar away and I miss just banging out strange things on a whim.
