Subject: FUN: Bikes on Bart!
Hi Cyclists or soon-to-be-cyclists,
Last week the Bart board of directors voted to lift the ban of bikes on Bart! Starting July 1, dust off your pedal-pushers and grab your helmet!: https://www.ebbc.org/bart
If you already bike to work because you live in SF--now we East Bayers can find out first-hand, why you are so happy all of the time!
If you have any bike-related questions (commuting routes, safety, mechanical issues, bike-buying quandaries, ideas on aerodynamic strategies, etc) please come to me!
Best,
David
PS
There is a bicycle repair station (very similar to http://daviswiki.org/Bicycle_Repair_Stations) right next to the Exploratorium across the street. It's on the south side of the building near the sidewalk. They have a pump, a stand with which to hold your bike, and tools that you can use for free to tinker! I can tell you more info if you like. This is awesome!

Reviving hackerspace passports out of SR has been a dream of mine! @Eddie:
Would you be down to do a Today I Learned on book binding? Maybe we could
incorporate the passports into a workshop as one of the projects people
could chose to work on?
I think we don't have to stop at the figure of a bear, though it would
serve nostalgia well. Is this turning into a conversation on building Sudo
Room's own multi-functional robot akin to Noisebridge's MC Hawking? For
reference: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noise-Bot
Yay,

Ugh I called it a router, when I meant modem. MODEM!
MOOOODEEEEEM
Please check out this video. I don't know if SR has the facilities and
skills to make and sell these "drops," but as the video shows, they have
some compelling attributes: They're inexpensive, easy to make, and
consumable, which gives them a financial "evergreen" trait. Not only that,
but there's plenty of silicon dioxide on the planet.

I drew a bunch of pages of comics
I got a lot of research done on bitcoins--talking to people
i saw some really neat things that are going to be showcased tomorrow!
what i love about sudoroom is that we don't need to have hackathons that
often, people here are hacking 24-7. We don't need go to a big hackathon
event run by big companies or by non profits because we do this seven days
a week. it's in our blood.
Hi All,
I'm teaching a class on June 15. Feel free to cross post to Public School,
Noisebridge, etc..
Sign up here if you are interested:

Before "White Hat" hackers and "Black Hat" hackers there were "Ethical
Hackers". These groups and individuals may not have always stayed within
the confines of the law, but followed a well defined ethic. This is the
story of MIT pranks, the golden age of the BBS, The Great Hacker War, Steve
Jackson Games vs. The US Secret Service, Old school hacking tech ( Blue
Boxing, Red Boxing, War Dialing, etc ), New Hack City and the rise of the
Cult of The Dead Cow, Free Kevin!, Hacktivismo, and more...
The Hacker Manifesto
by
+++The Mentor+++
Written January 8, 1986
Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested
in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"...
Damn kids. They're all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever
take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made
him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?
I am a hacker, enter my world...
Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the
other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...
Damn underachiever. They're all alike.
I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for
the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms.
Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."
Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool.
It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it
up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks
I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...
Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.
And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the
phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is
sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board
is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here...
even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them
again... I know you all...
Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...
You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at
school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip
through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or
ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us
willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.
This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without
paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering
gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us
criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist
without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you
call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder,
cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet
we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of
judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My
crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
for.
I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but
you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.
