    Sorry if I've spelled Ponoko as "Pokono" somewhere in this post. I've done my best to avoid it and revise it several times, but somehow on each read-through I found a misspelling... most recently in the URL and title! Just can't get it right for some reason...

    I heard about this when it was still a concept--now that it's reality, I have to say that it's just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Though CafePress is a cool concept, the reality of their products (shirts with logos that are just barely a step-up from iron-on designs) is a bit of a let down. I haven't designed or ordered anything from Ponoko yet, but the designing freedom is truly spectacular.

    Questions: do designers/entrepreneurs set their own prices for products? What are the material costs like? What would you make if you had aptitude for design?
