Our Ladyada, Limor Fried, was selected to join President Obama in a Fireside Hangout this Thursday 2/14 at 4:50pm EST on Google+! We’ll discuss issues that are top of mind for citizens, and we’d love you all to help shape this conversation. Submit your questions to http://www.youtube.com/whitehouse and the President will answer questions that are voted to the top.
Limor will be talking to the President LIVE about manufacturing and education!
Don’t forget to RSVP here for a reminder to tune in on Thursday-http://goo.gl/7pxfM

This has me on the fence. Although it’s great that 3D printing is going mainstream, I’m worried that attention from DC means ill-informed regulation.
