Chatt*lab
I met a few of the core group at ChattLab at the 4th Floor Event last weekend. Very cool people. They sound like they are within months of rolling out a brand new makerspace! Check out their work, get help with questions, but most of all, keep watching for their grand opening!! http://www.chattlab.org/blog/
Adam Savage's Maker Faire 2012 Talk: Why We Make
First, who doesn't like MythBusters? But this video gets into some "Philosophizing of the Maker Way", and I didn't agree with it all. So why repost it? Because at about 17:15, I just wanted to give him a hug. STEAM. Blew my socks off. If you have 20 minutes, it's worth a watch. If you have 3 minutes, start from about 15:00. Indiana Jones' hat is pretty cool, too.
