Thanks westfw.
Techshop looks cool but it's a bit of a drive, although they're planning
a shop in San Jose it won't be ready till the fall.
Haker Dojo charges a $100/month. :-[
I can't believe there is not a workshop in San Jose, I mean San Jose State is right down the street, there's gotta be some geeks there doing arduino stuff.--i mean geeks as a compliment, in case anyone's wondering.
Well I guess I could try and start a group, but I'm kinda a beginner at this, wouldn't know where to start.
