Besides my dignity, that is. Agreed, the "Open Hardware Summit" doesn't have a lot to do with religion or any of the other topics nominally on topic, but I think that the idea of a producer or tinkerer culture is an important one and that we should do whatever we can do create new and interesting things in the world. If procreation is our helping God to bring new people into the world, surely learning how to knit is helping God to bring interesting clothes into the world. Ok maybe a stretch, but still tinkering and hobbying around are an important way to grow as people and to, if one is lucky, to make the world a slightly better place, even if it only improves your attitude a little.
