Yet another Hacker Space
It’s the SSD
or the Solid State Depot and their domain name is BOULDERHACKERSPACE.COM. Founded in 2010, the group is well organized and have over 500 members on MeetUp (although the actual paid membership is lower)
Solid State Fun!
Probably not called the Boulder Hacker Space due to the bad press that the term HACKER gets these days, I was not sure from talking to the members why it was called a depot that is Solid State. From a purely electronics viewpoint there should be no relays or vacuum tubes in the depot; I’m sure like most spaces, the original founders were electronic geeks who hacked only transistors and IC’s. Tubes and relays are cool too, but the Vacuum Tube Depot sounds more like a place for vintage radio buffs or maybe a place to get your vacuum tube on like the Tube Depot.
