This artist is visiting town and wanted to know if he could speak at Sudo
Room or give away any art. I told him that we don't have anyone dedicated
to organizing this kind of event, but that I'd ask if anyone wants to.
If you'd like to host him during November, put it on the calendar and go
for it.

Good Morning,
I am a Guatemalan Artist in Canada. I am wondering if your space would want
to be part of a project I've been Working on.
https://jaredarmandosofoifa.com/the-ocean-gives/
This is my largest painting to date. It spans roughly four feet by five
feet. I want to give it away in a raffle to anyone that shares a smile.
This year being in a position of comfort, it pained me greatly to see
everyone around me struggling with the rising costs of everything. Being
from Guatemala I have a deep knowledge of plants and how to cultivate them.
I volunteered my time at a giant garden in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,
operated by the local food bank. I realized that I was focusing on the
wrong things, while it was great to feed people, as a painter I couldn't
stand by and not feed their souls. Given that fine Art is mostly out of
reach from the working class, I decided that I would rather "sell" my
painting for smiles. I want to provide people struggling for survival, to
have some kind of hope.
In our politicized world it is hard to be kind to others and not guarded.
What we need is community and unity. I feel like this project gets at the
core of what future artists will provide the world. If you would like I can
provide files for ready-to-print media including a poster with a QR code
and printable raffle tickets from anyone that does not have a 'smart'
telephone. As well as the poem about the painting.
I will be in the Bay Area during Nov.8th-Nov.23rd promoting my Art and the
seven works of writing I completed during COVID lockdowns in Canada, while
also working on my stand-up comedy and music at any open mics I can get
into.
I would be happy to give a brief Artists talk outlining the project and the
future role of Artists as we fight to stay relevant in a world where AI
threatens all our livelihoods.
Attached are some media provided to me from the Saskatoon food bank while
my painting was in their space.
It's not required, but as a working Artist I would greatly appreciate any
honorarium (if your organization can afford it) to help me with my travel
expenses and shipping cost for the painting.
Let me know your thoughts,
Sincerely,
Jared Armando Sofoifa
ps I'm the one in the pink hat. Also attached some additional paintings of
mine.

Yesterday a bunch of people got together to build up their kits of 5 watt
digital radio transceivers!
These are HF ham radio transmitter/recievers that connect to a computer
over USB, and allow communication on digital modes on what we call low
frequencies these days (but they're also called Shortwave even though
they're now the longest waves we use). Technically one is supposed to have
a ham radio license to transmit on these frequencies, although anyone is
allowed to listen in.
This is the kit they were building:
https://qrp-labs.com/qdx.html
We used the video microscope and all six soldering stations! It was the
most soldering happening at the same time in sudoroom in a long time. The
event will happen again on Wednesday.

Hello Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, and Everything in Between,
I am contacting some makerspaces and hackerspaces in the SF Bay Area about
a new makerspace that is connected to the pro-Trump/MAGA movement and to
the Military Industrial Complex (more advanced military drones to murder
people on behalf of Emperor Trump & USA empire):
https://sfstandard.com/2025/01/20/san-francisco-maga-techies/
Their co-founder Justin Laser Bong Zelaya and his connections to the
Military Industrial Complex (scroll down for work on CIA-funded National
Security Hackathon):
https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-zelaya-2236b5292
Both co-founders *Justin Laser Bong Zelaya* and *Tony Loehr *(goes by
"forkbomb" in some spaces) are currently or were previously connected with
Noisebridge hackerspace.
Their website pointing out their connections to a CIA and DoD connected
National Security Hackathon:
https://general-lithium.com/general-lithium-battery-powers-victory-at-natio…
I will find more info/evidence of this group and the individuals connected
to them (Justin Laser Bong Zelaya and Tony Loehr/@forkbomb )
*All of this is about hackers & makers & techies who are working with white
supremacist, patriarchal, colonialist powers and utilizing hackerspace +
makerspace resources for these imperatives.*

Hey folks,
We¹ve got some dead/dying 8' fluorescent tubes hanging above in Sudo.
Fixtures are for single nipple at each end. I¹d prefer warmer a color
temp, under 4000k.
Rather than cobbling together something, we should get the correct
replacement bulbs.
I found these-
https://www.amazon.com/8FT-Bulbs-3000K-6500K-Fluorescent-Replacement/dp/B0C
SYMPJHZ?ie=UTF8
I¹m pretty sure the CRI wouldn¹t be that great (the ad doesn¹t mention
it).
A local industrial lighting store in Concord (CME Lighting) has the Satco
#S29917- 3500K 8¹ long led bulbs, 40W 5300 lumens, 82 CRI. $29.95 each.
https://www.satco.com/products/S29917
The Satco¹s should fit the bill nicely and very likely be more issue free
than the ones from Amazon. Decent CRI, local supplier, etc.
We should try two over the incoming area then see if we like them.
Any budget in the pot for these?
-Kent

Hi:
Sudoers and CCLers might be interested in the STEM events in the
included email below.
Would someone be interested in organizing Sudoroom and/or CCL in
exhibiting at the Tri-Valley Innovation Fair? http://quest-science.org/

Nicholas cleaned up the white Shapeoko CNC machine and then E and I worked
on it to get it working again. I think it was donated in 2017, and it's in
a very nice handmade wood enclosure.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/CNC#SHAPEOKO
The spindle (cutting tool motor) wiring was chewed up by rats, but simply
connecting it to a variable power supply would be fine to get it running.
The actual motion controller is working fine.
Does anyone know what software we should use to generate g-code to carve
things out of wood or whatever? And to jog and home and run the machine?
It uses GRBL firmware, there are details on the wiki linked above
