Why I built Fourth Space

One of the best parts of this city is that, although the rent is high, there are practically infinite free (or very cheap) activities and events for every niche. I love finding interesting things to do which scratch my technology and artistic itches, but I find it takes significant time and effort to find that perfect thing to do.

So! I put this site together to share a curated list of activities and events for geeky people who, like me, find joy at the intersection of arts and technology or are just looking for a fun, interesting way to spend an afternoon!
