hey sudoers,
I met a guy named Chris Shaw about a week ago. He is the second person
I've met at the omni who came through because of the East Bay Express
article!!! (:
Chris wants to know if anyone wants to talk with him about the code he's
developed for auto-animating emotions and speech in CGI characters. It's
basically the next level in creating virtual CGI people with very flexible,
self-generating behavior: applications include NPCs in video games (of
course), next-gen conversation …
[View More]bots like AIM's SmarterChild back in the
day, and even therapeutic tools to help autistic children practice emoting.

the same tech can be used to animate animatronic robots.
He's looking for collaborators to develop applications for this tech. If
anyone's interested in playing with the technology or has questions for Mr.
Shaw, you can contact him at: xophershaw(a)gmail.com !
Howl,

We …
[View More]expect to hit the target before midnight just from more
crowdfunding, Ed! If you really want to forgive some debt, we can
forward your email to the finance list, but it' s not necessary to
finish the crowdfunding campaign IMO :)

I know we have a couple of broken TVs in the sudoroom. Does anyone know
if they are solid waste or if they can be fixed?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWzPcDtZZZo
Anyway, I inherited a 32" "Dynex" LCD TV from a deceased friend that I
have no use for if we want to use that instead. It isn't great (720p),
but it works. Should I bring it in or would that just increase ambient
clutter? I think I have a wall mounting bracket for it if we want to
put it somewhere else.

Hello Sudoers!
As you may know, the Omni recently paid the State Farm insurance policies
for all collectives through June 2015. Because our lease requires that all
groups maintain current insurance policies, we decided to pay everyone's
insurance up front rather than risk incurring fines from John Givens due to
accidental lapses in individual policies.
Below is a link to an invoice for Sudo Room's State Farm insurance policy
through June 2015. Take a look and let me know if you have any …
[View More]questions.
If it would be helpful for you to pay the Omni in monthly installments,
that's fine too. Just let me know what you'd like to do.
Thanks so much!
Sarah + Finances WG
Below please find a link to Invoice #137.
Amount due: $581.46 USD
Due by: 2015-01-28
