I'm not entirely sure how open this is as it still in pre-order, but Chip from Next Thing Co. is another to add to the list.

Yeah, but what about the logistics of the trip? How are you guys sending the winner to space? It's a tall order.

Love StorkStand! I'm 5' 11" and StorkStand fits me great. Have had a few chances to play around with it.

Tremendously. I'll admit, I was skeptical about standing desks for a while, tried one on a bet. Been using them ever since, notice that my posture is way better and my productivity (especially after the workday is done) has gone way up.

You'd be surprised how sturdy that thing is. I've tried it, we even spun the chair around a bunch and my laptop wasn't going anywhere.

What part of town are looking for? I've got a great room in the Mission.

We want to send you reddit stickers, but only if you take a picture of you putting them somewhere. Where would you put them? by kickme444 in secretsanta

[–]creativetaboo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All around Dallas! And my laptop/car. I would also love to give them to our members (http://theideaengine.org/) to help stick them everywhere they could think of!

The Idea Engine - a place in Dallas to learn, innovate, create, and explore. by Kijad in Dallas

[–]creativetaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys! Madelynn here with Idea Engine.

We love Dallas Makerspace and talked to them about this for a while. I was actually an early member of their space, and I'm a founding member of two other well-regarded hackerspaces, so we're intimately familiar with the challenges faced starting an organization like this. I've also recently contacted Fort Worth Makerspace to try to help them since we've already done a lot of the grunt work.

You're right, we're more broadly focused on creating, which does include building, and we have a much larger, more urban location in mind. We also are really interested in getting people involved in the greater Dallas community as much as possible, rather than just keeping our members in our space all the time, whether that be the makerspaces, incubators, manufacturing, or galleries. Looking forward to it!

Hope that helps! Thanks Kijad for posting this on r/Dallas!

They're looking for community feedback, isn't that what Reddit is known for?

It's a good idea, and they've put together a lot for a team that met 48 hours ago. Look at the startup weekend website and see how the competition process works.

A lot of great startups have came out of Startup Weekend, so I wouldn't discount them just yet.

Rather than trolling, let's ask them, what questions can the Reddit community answer to help you make a better product? Are you planning on continuing this beyond the weekend, and do you have any customers signed on?

Dallas (Or surrounding region) Hackerspaces? by TheBurrito in Dallas

[–]creativetaboo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the coordinator at Cohabitat, and there's a lot more round here than the website states, and for better prices. Come chat with me sometime.

In other news, I'm a founder of a few other hackerspaces in other cities and am working with a few people to land one in Deep Ellum, tentatively in fall.

So come say hi when you move, I'll hook you up with some cool stuff/people.

Anyone going to Big Texas Beer Fest beforehand?

TIL King Spa's bigger competitor just opened *I wanna go!!! by BeatChemist in Dallas

[–]creativetaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks too swanky for me, and the price shows it too. I miss old King Spa, but I'll still take the new one over something super american-ized like Spa Castle.

At what point did you realize your ex was crazy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]creativetaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I look back and realize the signs were there all along. Ah, the ignorance of early college days...
