Mister Jalopy
As we all attempt to adopt the thrifty lifestyle, one man is way ahead of the curve. Mr. Jalopy transforms garage sale junk into extraordinary machines. He’s a hero to the Maker’s Movement — a community of DIY-ers who mix science, technology, and art. Kurt spent an afternoon with Mr. Jalopy at his workshop in Los Angeles, and saw one of his inventions: “the world’s largest iPod.”
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
