There has to be something tainting the water supply over at the Louisville Hackerspace LVL1. They’re building a freaking moat in front of their building, ostensibly to keep the black knight as well as zombies at bay.

After digging a 14-foot deep trench in front of their building – a hazard mitigated by a few steel plates as well as orange cones generously contributed by the Louisville city workers – the members of LVL1 started moving pipes around in preparation for their moat.

Officially, the Louisville city council believes this job will be a fountain as well as reflecting pool. City hall seems extremely friendly; the Louisville chamber of commerce asked about including LVL1 in next year’s Derby tour.

The barely-zombie proof moat develop is the current in a series of develops to enhance the safety of LVL1. Previous develops included a robotic overlord guarding the building and a robotic arm to cajole members into doing its bidding. like we said, there’s most likely something in the water supply.
