If you're cynical about Silicon Valley and all the mobile local social apps these days, I suggest spending some time at Lemnos Labs and similar hardware communities.
When I first walked in, I saw a giant machine that makes hamburgers. And an electronic car. And a guitar with an app store. And a from-scratch coffee machine. It's truly amazing and IMO much more substantial than many other startups I know.
For the longest time it seemed as though entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley shied away from hardware startups just because they aren't as leveraged as software startups. I'm glad to see a healthy hardware hacking community emerging in the bay area and hopefully we'll see lots of more hardware startups in the future.
