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 rps collective / berkeley museum video is very charming

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!

*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! *

Sarah Jeong's new book, The Internet of Garbage, takes a look at the problems
of harassment through the lens of the online world's struggle to regulate its
own worst outputs. From spam-fighting to sprawling copyright law, Jeong's
thesis is that whatever fix we consider, it can't just be about hitting delete.
Free speech rights, intermediary liability, anonymity, and moderator working
conditions are just some of the other considerations we need to look at before
anyone takes the garbage out.
Jeong will talk about the book, her coverage of other Internet issues such as
Garcia v. Google and the Silk Road trial, and future issues for the modern
techno-activist.
Date: August 17
Time: 6:00pm
Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco

Eviction of Rock Paper Scissors: End of an Era for Oakland’s Art Scene
Rock Paper Scissors' doors will close before the end of August (Andrew
Stelzer/KQED)
By Andrew Stelzer <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/author/andrewstelzer>AUGUST 7,

This ragtag Oakland storefront at 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue was at
the geographic center of the original Art Murmur
<http://oaklandartmurmur.org/> in 2006. It’s an all-in-one art gallery,
classroom, clothing shop and activist meeting space. The volunteer-run
collective operating Rock Paper Scissors <http://rpscollective.org/>exemplifies
the city’s social justice seeking, DIY art and activism scene.
But with Oakland rents soaring, they’ve been priced out of their space.
August’s will be the last First Friday
<http://www.oaklandfirstfridays.org/> street
fair and Art Murmur gallery stroll for the collective — the last remaining
organization of those that helped start the monthly festival almost a
decade ago.
On a recent East Bay summer evening, volunteers gathered inside the
storefront to learn how to become pen pals with queer prisoners.
“It can get really complicated because if someone’s legal name is John but
they go by Jennifer for instance, You have to put J or John on the outside
of the envelope,” said Beja Alisheva, co-facilitator of Flying Over Walls
<https://flyingoverwalls.wordpress.com/>, queer/trans prisoner solidarity
organization.

There are lots of rules about how the envelopes sent into prisons can be
decorated, so as to not be confiscated.
“No glitter?” Louis Smith asked incredulously.
The letter-writing get-together was just one of dozens of gatherings held
at Rock Paper Scissors every month, ranging from writing workshops to a
sewing lab and jewelry-making for teens.
“When we first came to Rock Paper Scissors looking for a space, they said
of course,” Alisheva said. “Obviously, we don’t have a lot of money. It’s
not something that brings in a lot of revenue, but that didn’t matter to
them.”
She added: “It was such a relief when we finally landed here, so now we’re
not sure where we’re going to end up.”
That’s a sentiment shared with the quirky creative space’s regulars.
“Gentrification is real,” said Alexandra Rigaud, an assistant with the
collective’s youth program. “We are getting pushed out, and we did start
First Friday … Now we are paying for it.”
It’s becoming a common story all over the Bay Area. The artists who in a
recent era made a neighborhood “hip” are being driven out, in part due to
their own success.
“The neighborhood has changed a lot,” said Kristy Holohan, the collective’s
youth, community and interim gallery director. “We are basically like
sandwiched in between two bars, there are some really high end galleries.”

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said the plight of Rock Paper Scissors raises a
much bigger question as the city continues to boom.
“It’s not just the housing affordability that is a potential crisis for
us,” she said. “The threat of displacement of our small businesses, of our
cultural institutions, of our non-profits — those are also community
stabilization issues that absolutely need to be solved.”
Schaaf said the city’s “solutions are more limited” because state law
prevents
<http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=civ&group=01001-02000…>
rent
stabilization for commercial space. The mayor said she’s creating a new
Artist Affordable Housing and Workspace Task Force, but that’s yet to be
staffed.
Anyka Barber, who founded Betti Ono <http://www.bettiono.com/> gallery in
downtown Oakland, said the city needs to do more.
“In order for it to continue to be a world-class city and build on the
strengths that it has, especially around culture and arts, we really have
to have the investment match the brand recognition,” she said.
Barber is a lead organizer of the Oakland Creative Neighborhoods Coalition
<https://www.facebook.com/KeepOAKCreative> — a newly formed group that’s
calling for the re-establishment of Oakland’s Arts Commission, which had
its funding and staff eliminated more than five years ago.
“There’s a lot of talk about the economic development side of arts
experiences or cultural experiences, based on people visiting, what kinds
of funds or revenues that brings back to the city,” Barber said.
“Currently, it looks like maybe 1.3 percent of the total city budget is
funding or investing in community development or cultural programs. That
does not reflect equity.”

Stelzer/KQED)
The coalition’s demands were left out of the recently adopted 2016-17 city
budget.
Rock Paper Scissors, meanwhile, has until the end of the month to find a
new space or close up shop and try to raise more money. The collective is
seeking volunteers to help pack up and move
<http://rpscollective.org/help-rock-paper-scissors-pack-and-move/> to a
yet-to-be-determined location.

Dearest Sudoers,
I've been writing a piece called "The Universal Empathy Machine: Nonviolent
Communication Explained with Mathematics and Computer Science"
<http://notconfusing.com/universal-empathy-machine/> <
http://notconfusing.com/universal-empathy-machine/>, and I'd be curious to
get your feedback on it because if you're on this list you're an exemplary
of my target audience. It's intended for the intersection of people who
love machines and logic, and care about good communication. Here's an
excerpt:
> 0. The Universal Empathy Machine

> Empathy is not sympathy. What’s the difference? Think of the Universal
> Turing Machine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Turing_machine>.

> then, is running your program on someone else’s data. Empathy is running

Anyone available to help move some gear for CCL and Sudo Room this
afternoon? Do let me know as soon as possible if you have access to a truck
as well, otherwise I'll probably wind up having to rent a UHaul.
We'll be picking up a set of sturdy metal shelves, a spot welder, and
various boxes of electronic components in Hayward. We need to be *at* the
storage space in by 2pm, 77 Traynor Str. in Hayward.
Thanks!

Howdy hackers,
My friend is looking for somebody to write a compiler in LLVM for his new
CPU architecture, which consists of a bunch of separate cored with their
own scratchpad memory and the ability to interact with each other. He
hasn't had luck poaching people from Google and such, but needs to get this
done by November for DARPA.
Are any of you interested in very funky computer architectures? If so I can
make the connection!
Cheers,
-Adam
the "m" word.. marketing! One of the coolest projects is SudoMesh. it's
hard to explain it, but once people find out what it is, they love it
I hacked an html5 template and put a landing page up here. feel free to
fork and modify
https://github.com/sudoroom/sudoMesh-Landing-Page
you can push out using the gh-pages branch and see the result here:

Hey all,
The Omni Door card-swipe system seems to be working at the moment. However,
be aware there might be an issue that resurfaces.
I came upon the front door system and it was not working. This was strange
because Marc was granting access to a gaggle of folks maybe an hour before.
The laptop was off, the switch was off, and all the cords were a tangled
mess. I re-built a new little shelf for the laptop/server, power strips,
switch, etc that are in the southeast corner of the front room of the
building. Everything is neatly organized, let's keep it that way!
The magnetic stripe card reader was giving me such guff! It really didn't
want to work, and I tested every single component to try to figure it out.
I swapped to a new USB hub with a power supply several times, but on my
last try it miraculously went from non-working to working. I have no idea
why.
I did, however, build a theory for the color code of the magnetic stripe
card reader:
- Red LED - power is on, problem with connection
- Yellow LED - power is on, no connection
- Green LED - power is on, connected
- UNLESS the green LED turns off after just one swipe, in which case:
- No light from LED - no power, possibly low power, or something else is
happening I can't explain.

Hello,
I'm Sebastien from France, where I'm involved in a bio-hackerspace called
La Paillasse. I heard about you from Mitch Altman that I met many times in
Paris. What you are doing at counter culture lab seems really cool and
interesting. I will be around SF from the 5th of August, for the INNS
conference (near SFO airport) from 8th to 10th and a workshop I'm working
on about Deep Learning and Neural Networks at Stanford on the 11th.
I would be happy to meet you on the 5th evening or 6th evening. However I
would need to find a cheap place to stay in the area. Would you have any
recommendation?
Best regards,
Sébastien
