Thanks! This looks pretty interesting. I've been feeling a little burned out on tech lately, and it's nice to read some inspiring things.

  I can understand. I like to think that technology and hacker types can be idealistic and passionate. For a lot of hacker and tech types the salary isn't the main driving force. So if you've been stuck in a corporate IT/Dev environment I could understand. Have you ever been to a hackerspace? If you're looking to meet these types of individuals this is a great place for it. I remember the first time I went to one I talked with a guy who works at a local family oriented science centre and he just loves micro-controllers and playing with them. We had a great conversation for a good two hours. It was very uplifting to see someone love something so niche.

    Weirdly enough, I'm not in a corporate environment... I think maybe I'm just a bit burned out from a) leaping into a PhD straight after school with a job in the few weeks between; and b) all the bad tech-related news lately. Hackerspaces are awesome indeed! Thanks for reminding me to head down to my local one more often. Maybe I'll swing by there tonight...
