I'm friends with a few of the people mentioned in the article, and have hung out a bit for the DIY Bio meetings. It's a really awesome group of people, and a really awesome idea.
The studio in which they hold meetings (at least in Cambridge) is equally awesome: http://www.thesprouts.org/ I don't have kids, but if I did, I would seriously consider sending them to places like this to hang out, as an alternative to formal education. There are some kids (maybe 12-15 years old) who hang around Sprout, and I see them learning way more than they would in school -- perhaps even college. |

There's no harm in it at all as they are really a nice bunch of people.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.
