Hello All,
I have been asked if Sudoroom is interested on acquiring the Oakutron
201x?.
Oakutron "It's that big video game machine people made for occupy. It lives
at the Qilombo and they want to get rid of it.
Thanks, and please let me know if there is someone interested.
Daniel

Hi I made a new prettier landing page that I linked to from the sudoroom
main page
i keep writing these gigantic emails talking about cool stuff we do, but
it's hard to present it to thew old so even though I used to hate web
design, i had fun and dove into jQuery for the sake of the team
You can hack it or add to it:
https://github.com/sudoroom/sudoRoom-Projects-Landing-page
these pages are by no means permanent, but making stuff clear and pretty
is a good way to entice people to join in on projects
I'd love to see the MRI and health records stuff get going, i just don't
have time to do it all myself!

Goddammit ... do you know I hate web design! I really hate it! but i know
one area we can improve on is marketing.
I would much rather we working on making a mobile app this morning but I
did it for the team. Just kidding. I made a landing page for the MRI project
https://github.com/sudoroom/MRI-Art-Landing-Page
we should probably do this more to get people who are remote / far way to
join in .. and to toot our own horn! ;)
I'll get back to 3D printing... when I have time... argh...
see you later at cyberwizard today

this is really cute! If anyone is wondering of ideas of what to do next,
this rps collective / berkeley museum video is very charming
- One of their zine workshops was to have everyone write a letter to
their hometown

There's a critical theory and fitness series going on throughout the summer
with the group Heavy Breathing. I'm just writing this because often the
Omni is so large, people visit SudoRoom and then they say "Oh there isn't a
lot going on here" or "I'd like to know more of what's happening"
facebook.com/heavyheavybreathing
It's pretty cool - some of their sessions were in the park in Oakland and
at various creative spaces, but they have an event today and they had an
event two weeks ago at the Omni Disco room. Even though it wasn't at the
SudoRoom, it's cool that I can just walk up and downstairs to attend these
events.
It's cool that there are dancers in the same building as the SudoRoom, and
that these kinds of events happen. I think the series pokes fun at the
current obsessions Americans have with fitness, wherein people try to find
some kind of religious and spiritual fulfillment or social identity through
their yoga and crossfit classes.
the series was featured recently in New Yorker magazine:
http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/sweating-to-sappho
I don't think they poke fun at it in a mean way, but it's something to
think about, especially as these gym classes push a "spiritual" message
while maintaining themselves as capitalist, chain store type entities whose
only aim is to make money. When someone is pretending to be your friend and
spiritual guidance counselor but is part of a corporate template fitness
system (think of Zumba), that raises larger questions, and it also
illuminuates the future
Tonight there's another session of Heavy breathing at the Omni, and I'm
going to attend it in-between my session learning at the CyberWizard
Institute.
It looks like it's going to be fun!
I should make this a blog post and clean it up, but my point is that having
this large building at the Omni enables people of different creative bents
and ideologies to hang out with each other and collaborate.
much love!

anyone available to do an e-waste run of junk we're piling up to remove
from sudo and take to Universal Waste Management aka "unwaste"
http://www.unwaste.com/?
They also have an "unwaste store" with usable objects that they fix and
resell.

*the Cyberwizard Institute sessions are going so well and they're so much
fun! *
*I was chatting with marina, and we remember the Today I Learned sessions
fondly: people talked about things they learned covering every topic under
the sun: sewing, mathematics, algorithms, hacking your DNA, 3D printing
cartoons*.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned
Unfortunately this ran out of steam. I think we just ran out of topics to
talk about, plus the concept Today I Learned was a little goofy.
Cyberwizard Institute is way more exciting
*after Cyberwizard session 2 is over, it'd be cool to create a new version
of Today I learned - either as an extension of CyberWizard Instiute or
something else! *
