Bre Pettis · IEEE Spectrum · 2009
At NYC Resistor, a communal hacker space in downtown Brooklyn, N.Y., we do two things really well-hack and party. An automated bartender seemed like a natural, but as we searched the U.S. patent database for ideas, it became clear we'd have to hack one up ourselves. And so we have. An ongoing series of them, in fact.
