In my series about Makers, I wrote about the new makers and Fab Labs. For those interested, I gathered some links for further reading. Do you know other useful resources? Please mention them in the comments or drop me a line.
Enjoy!

MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms is an interdisciplinary initiative
exploring the boundary between computer science and physical science.
Fab Lab is a technical prototyping platform for innovation and
invention, providing stimulus for local entrepreneurship. A Fab Lab is
also a platform for learning and innovation: a place to play, to create,
to learn, to mentor, to invent.
Instructables is a place that lets you explore, document, and share your creations.

Thingiverse is a thriving design community for discovering,
making, and sharing 3D printable things. As the world's largest 3D
printing community, we believe that everyone should be encouraged to
create and remix 3D things, no matter their technical expertise or
previous experience.
