Any cult worthy of the name requires a schismatic. I encourage all Library Cult members to have at it!

As a charter member of the cult, I vote no. But truly I understand. All good things must come to an end. (And I think you are up to other interesting projects.)

Comment on DreamVendor: a 3D printer vending machine by Elizabeth

I love the idea of a 3D vending machine. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing to have in a library? I can imagine it being a great way of promoting discussion and allowing people who normally wouldn’t have the forum or access to new tools to express ideas. As a marketing tool it would be amazing too, hopefully encouraging people who wouldn’t normally go to a library to venture into the space.

ThIs is an important issue that we don’t like to discuss given our reliance on technology. The Access article will be out in June. I hope this post, the article, and the ongoing discussion will have an impact.

Comment on Wi-Fi Drones create pirate Internet by Collin

I worry about the energy efficiency of the drones with the motors and electronics. It’d work well for very short-term operations, but I find the idea of dirigible-style “clouds” (in a literal sense, I suppose) enticing. Solar panels and wind energy could power them, making them self-sufficient, potentially at least.

Though the swarm idea would be very interesting if the energy problem was out of the equation.
