Top picks so far[edit]

Hack Shack

I *really* like The Hack Shack. Great name! docksteaderluke 19:05, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

We'll need to put up a faded sign by the side of the road that says "15 miles to the Hack Shack". 65.39.12.154 19:20, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I second (third?) that. The Shack and The Sugar Shack are taken, but the Hack Shack isn't. Reinderien 19:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

This one's pretty good. Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes Cokobware 21:58, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Hohm Base, or Ohm Base

Cokobware 01:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

This one is cool, but what about just "Ohm Base" or "Ωbase"? docksteaderluke 21:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I like it. ΩBase especially Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes: Ohm Base is a bit easier to spell, and it likely can be easy to put into a URL? Cokobware 21:58, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree on both counts. Empty-space 15:30, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Ohm Base is now officially my favourite. docksteaderluke 19:53, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

It has a zen-like quality to it too... "ohmmmmm" Cokobware 21:06, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Sparklab

This is one of my favourites, and it isn't taken (surprisingly). Reinderien 19:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

This is pretty good. Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes Cokobware 21:58, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

TTL ("tech tech lab" rather than "transistor transistor logic"... or something like that)

I like this a lot - It could stand for Thunder Bay Tech Lab, or some such thing. Reinderien 22:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

all I can think of is "Time To Live" Cokobware 01:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I totally forgot that TTL has both hardware (transistor transistor logic) and software (time to live) definitions. It's also (though less related to the lab) Through The Lens, regarding cameras. Empty-space 21:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Neutral[edit]

Hack lab

This was mentioned at the meeting. Reinderien 00:04, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

incub8

Wonder Lab

Cokobware 05:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

This sounds like a Disney movie. No. Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Teem Works

I don't understand. Sp? Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

No spelling error - teem: To be stocked to overflowing; To be prolific; to abound - it's a play on words. Cokobware 21:58, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I get it. Like "teeming". Empty-space 15:30, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Thinkhack

Electric Pulse

Vital Connect

I don't understand. Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

(The) Shift Register (This one is so bad it's awesome)

(The) Waveguide

Node? Northern Ontario Developing Environment?

docksteaderluke 20:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I like this too.... the nodelab. A lot, actually. Reinderien 22:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

It's techy enough without any polarizing effect. I get the sense of regional when Cokobware 01:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

"(The) NODE lab", "Thunder Bay NODE", "TBay NODE". Variations on the theme to consider. I like this general direction, though. Empty-space 21:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Node is taken by Baltimore already, turns out. Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Contested[edit]

I think if we get one "no" for one of these it's out:

Creative lab

Also mentioned at the meeting. Reinderien 00:04, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Infringes on "Creative Labs" - I vote no only for that reason Cokobware 01:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Not bad, but the confusion pointed out above makes it a no Empty-space 21:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
