Great to see a link to that post/rant. In odd news, I gave a talk 4 years ago at HOPE about 3d printing, and where it was going (or not going). I just pitched a re-cap of my talk to happen at HOPE #9 this summer (2012). The long story made short is 4 years ago, 3d printing was a cool research project. Now there are 3-4 commercial 3D printers, a lot of great DIY kits. And ironically, I'm lucky enough to be Software Developer Coordinator at MakerBot industries. It's like the old blessing/curse 'May you live in interesting times', and it will be great to watch what the home replication/de-construction revolution brings over the next 20 years. Heh!
