This interview really helped me feel the excitement Katy has for Hacker Dojo and all the awesome stuff they do, as a result I backed the Kickstarter even though I don't live in the area. It would be a shame for a great place like this to be shut down due to bureaucratic nonsense.

Hacker Dojo is awesome. To help the team: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/384590180/an-events-spac...

It looks like the $30,000 funding goal has been reached, although I'm sure they'd appreciate more donations/backers.

[bluehat → neurotech1]

Yeah, our total goal is $250, and we are at $165 of that

In-depth interview (e.g., not a lot of editing from VB) that explains what Hacker Dojo is doing and trying to do going forward as well as a calm look at what the City of Mountain View is asking the Dojo to do to fully occupy its space.

[I am Katy.] If you'd like to listen to me say more derp shit, want some help with robots, kickstarters, startups, running communities, or just want me to cook you dinner, my time is being auctioned off to benefit the Dojo at http://goodwillion.com/lot/14798

I like the interview, but the transcription is annoying whenever it discusses dollar amounts. So I present my hacker's guide to pronunciation:

  Phrase          How it's pronounced
  ------------    ---------------------------
  100             One hundred
  $100            One hundred dollars
  $100 dollars    One hundred dollars dollars
