Brambles

"One of the reasons garages have become such an emblem of the innovator's workspace is precisely because they exist outside the traditional spaces of work or research. They are not office cubicles or university labs; they're places away from work and school, places where our peripheral interests have the room to grow and evolve. Experts head off to their corner offices and lecture halls. The garage is the space for the hacker, the tinkerer, the maker. The garage is not defined by a single field or industry; instead, it is defined by the eclectic interests of its inhabitants. It is a space where intellectual networks converge."

--Steven Johnson, "How We Got to Now"
