Anyone here involved in a Hackerspace?
Where are you based? Coolest projects? Any interesting stories?

I am involved in a hackerspace in Cincinnati called Hive13. www.hive13.org . Pretty neat, but it seems like lately they've been more focused on administrivia than projects.

I visited i3detroit several times. The first time they didn't even have a space yet and it all seemed rather pathetic. They are really awesome and well equiped now. I still don't approve of the twittering doghouse however (LAME).

Since no one else has replied in 6 hours. I'm not a member (I live an hour away), but been a few times to the Chicago hackerspace Pumping Station: One.
There is a TARDIS (from Dr. Who) built by PS:One that they disassemble and take around to various events.
The President of PS:One was recently featured in Popular Science for the scanning tunneling electron microscope he built and open-sourced: http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2010-07/homemade-open-source-scanning-tunneling-electron-microscope
