There is a "hacker space" in Dayton called "Dayton Diode". Dayton Diode

"Hackerspace in Dayton, OH - Open community workshop for learning, making and hacking
Arduino, Android, carpentry, metal casting, robots, CNC, etc."

Ok, cool and unique... right?

I was reading a blog tonight and I found where the idea and even the name probably came from.

NYC Resistor

"NYC Resistor is a hacker collective with a shared space located in downtown Brooklyn. We meet regularly to share knowledge, hack on projects together, and build community. "

Errrr.... I guess Dayton getting anything worthwhile is significant but I thought the blatant imitative aspect was funny. It reminded me of the connection between the "Dayton Original" campaign and a similar one in Austin.

So we've got:

[city name] [component]

Dayton Diode. NYC Resistor.

How about:

Toledo Transformer

Columbus CCD

Indianapolis IC

Cincinnati Capacitor

Marietta MOSFET

Interesting concept. Glad to see Dayton has a branch! Maybe in a few years when I finish my engineering degree I will try to get involved haha
