text: Reality Check Just because the Zappos CEO sprinkles cash around like fairy dust to support his noble vision of making Las Vegas into a mini version of Silicon Valley does not mean everything he touches is a good thing I have been to usrlib times now and last night I left saying I have had enough For a place that claims to support collaboration and socialization I have barely been able to strike up a conversation with anyone that claimed to be a part of this place I got to listen to someone last night overinflate their social media prowess to a couple of women he found attractive but if an older guy like myself is wanting to ask about the Arduino and Laser books on the shelves I get flat out ignored It was beyond ignored they flat out left running out the door like a herd of cattle so one of their friends could take pictures of them I thought I would left the queens blocks away at the Pride parade but it sure looks like I found a couple volunteering here complete with full attitude nnSo let us take a cold hard look at this place Yeah it is got a couple of tables to sit at a white board with some good info scribbled on it for cool people with cool projects It is got a printer and a small classroom which is nice to have But the bookshelves WTF It looks like someone bought the last tech books that Borders was trying to dump at a pop before they went out of business and they got stuck on the shelves to make it look good Toss in a small handful of relevant books for the purpose of making it all look marginally presentable cough cough and that is what you get in here nnThe whole concept is a good one it simply totally fails and falls flat on it is proverbial face in the execution When someone walks into the library on First Friday when the door is open do not ignore them just so you can try and score with the chicks by making them think you are a social media God of some type Because you are not and if you had quit looking at the boobs to make real eye contact you could see the woman you were staring at just was not that much into you Protect Tonys investment by talking to the people coming in people who have no problem paying for membership on the spot Or at least smile and say Hi For a collaboration space I do not think setting the bar at expecting a simple Hi is too much nn Star because this place quite frankly is a waste of Tony Hsiehs money in it is current configuration and with the attitude of the people who are supposed to be in there to help support it In a language a place like this can easily understand usrlib needs a reboot
