Ah sweet. I met Euwyn in NY in the '09 HN meet, I think in January. Awesome that you're now in SF and hacking away. (Unless I'm thinking of a totally different Euwyn Poon)

Yup, that's me. Great hearing from you Yan. I left NYC for SF for YC last summer :)

It's this "let's hack together" mentality that seems to be lacking in Southern California, where so many schools & companies still insist on cubicles. Time to take the train up to SF...

I suspect it's because we in SoCal prefer actually getting work done instead of being trendy and being seen hanging out with other trendy people doing trendy things.

Although I do exclude certain portions of LA and Hollywood from this description.

It's not that people disagree entirely, it's just your tone.

There are a bunch of people in Santa Monica who are looking at starting a Hacker Dojo...

billpaetzke• 15 years ago

Sweet! I would be all over that. There's really only one good coworking space there: CoLoft. But it's marketed to all freelance/remote workers--not just hackers. Would be nice to get a dedicated hacker place.

Not sure if it meets your criteria, but there http://blog.crashspace.org in Culver City. I'm up in Portland, but have admired it from afar. Seems to have some great events, especially lots of hardware hacking.

Interested.

You should change Opzi's web page, it still refers to you as headquartered in Palo Alto.

Great catch. We're in the process of updating the site :)

dweekly2• 15 years ago

Awesome, Euwyn! This feels like maybe the start of an SF Dojo...? :) :)

Noisebridge, another hackerspace is in SF. (www.noisebridge.net) It's located at 2169 Mission St (Between 17th and 18th)

Drop by. I'm a member and regular visitor.

Hi,

I've been in NYC and I'm hacking obsessively and around the clock. My biggest problem has been finding a place where I can seriously plunk down and work without distraction.

Would LOVE to be in a space with like minded people trying to hack and would also love an excuse to go out to SF.

I've been largely very impressed with the NYC tech scene and would love the chance to hack out there for a while too.

Want zero distractions? The stacks in the basement of any college library would be perfect
