DailyDirt: Rental Space For Anything
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Money can’t buy happiness, but they say that you can try to rent it for a while. All sorts of things can be rented these days — and at fairly reasonable prices, too. There’s a pretty big real estate glut, so it looks like a bunch of places are trying to get attention with some interesting “shared space” ideas. Here are just a few rental ideas we’ve come across recently.
Rental kitchens are like incubators for culinary startups. Warning: may contain nuts, though…. [url] A DIY science laboratory in NYC complies with CDC biosafety level 1 regulations. And nothing could possibly go wrong with a biohacker lab located near a major metropolitan area like NYC. [url] CubeSats are available for a few thousand bucks — and if you can find a spot on a rocket, you’re set to go. However, rental space on a rocket isn’t exactly easy to come by…. [url]

The science lab will obviously spawn Americas first superhero.

I just hope the biohacker lab space is designed to implode…
Spreading the fixed costs
My favourite one of these is a one-day-a-week restaurant in Wellington. They were closed Mondays, ’till the owner met an Ethiopean immigrant who’d always wanted to run a restaurant. Now it’s Thai 6 days a week, Ethiopean on Mondays. The only Ethiopean restaurant in New Zealand, best I’m aware.
It’s also fairly common among NZ craft brewers: the bigger guys with the equipment rent out their equipment some of the time to startups.
LOL … My friend has a better bio lab in his garage.

Algae boy to the rescue!!! With his ability to leap small puddles in a single bound, blind evil doers with his pond scum breath, and create natural gas on demand.
Thinking back that sounds like an old college roommate of mine.

hackerspaces are popping up all over the world, in most major cities. they are a shared space for tools and expertise.
helping to build one in cincinnati has helped me learn all sorts of things about electronics and the local community.

Hackerspaces sounds awesome. thanks for the link — I’ll have to include it in another DailyDirt someday.
