Skymall Workshop / Skillshare: Basic Concrete Slab *Sat March 16*, 10am onward

by Vicky Knox

Hey all! My friend Bobby will be putting on the below workshop. He is an amazing builder and metalworker who I've been sneakily trying to suck into the vortex that is Sudo Room. If anyone is interested in going to this workshop that he is putting on, will you envangelize him please? This event is sure to be fun--he has a fascinating mind and brews awesome beer. If you're into beer, make sure to ask him to show you the huge vats he welded, as well as the taps he has set up. V From: Robert Tomkiewicz <tomkiewicz.b(a)gmail.com> Subject: Skymall Workshop / Skillshare: Basic Concrete Slab *Sat March 16*, 10am onward Hi all, I am in the process of modernizing the laundry facilites at the old homestead and the first step is pouring a little slab outdoors to hold the washer and dryer off the ground and function as a foundation for the shed which will hold them. Together, we'll (re)discover the basics of pouring a concrete slab. We'll be mixing by hand in wheelbarrows, which is just fine for a slab of this scale, unless I get a line on a mixer before the end of the week. I will have the forms built and (probably) the rebar laid before Saturday, but they'll be there for you to take a look at so you can see how they're constructed before we begin. Beer and snackage provided. Space is limited to the amount of people that will actually be useful, which in fact is quite a few. Still, if you could RSVP with any specific dietary preferences that would be super sweet. If we're super fast we might even get to do some plumbing. Got to get that natural gas hookup to the dryer, and hot water pipe in place for the washing machine. Bobby

Re: [sudo-discuss] Dystopia Watch: Surveillance drones coming to a cafe near you.

by rachel lyra hospodar

(Private response from dan included below) I am not suggesting here that the goal is to neutralize the voice, but to obfuscate its meaning, to nearby microphones. If there are many sounds fitting the pattern of the user's voice, then perhaps the technology mr. Howell mentions would have a harder time 'hearing' the conversation's actual content in a useful way? Our brains are excellent at pattern recognition & targeted focus, and I guess I am positing here that the gap between their ability to do this, and the software's, is big enough to use. I'm less concerned about establishing completely secure encrypted special-use channels (eg redphone), but more am idly thinking about ways to increase security for day-to-day interactions (redCafe???) ...like doing harm reduction. My experience with activism in our modern surveillance state is that, while a small group can be trained to be truly information secure, this is only really possible for specific highly covert projects, and it generates behavior anomalous enough to be its own red flag. Generally speaking you have to interact with people in their terms, in public or 'normal' ways, to reach them. The conversations I expect people will be crucified for are not the truly secret ones. Running a device like this in cafes would be a hilarious way to do outreach about Big Brother. Many people have no idea of the extent of what is already possible. R.

Yelp Locksmiths Greatest Hits Vol. 1

by rusty lindgren

1. *"These mother fuckers should burn in hell. *Quit scamming people. You'd make more money actually being nice honest and helping more people that like your business instead of charging a shit load for 1 customer and losing 27490291. 2. "...The guy shows up in literally 10 minutes, pops open the door in about 30 seconds and then charges me $100 for the "labor" because opening a door is a $100 charge. WTF... Such bullshit. *Two stars for him being super speedy though.*" 3. *"Since my cat was inside crying and needing to be fed*- I told him I would pay $200 for him to unlock it or I was going to call someone else. He ended up drilling the lock out and then wanting to charge another $190 to replace it. *Preying on desperate people in bad situations.*" 4. "When he got here he said it would be 29 dollars service fee and 100 to pick the lock, he spent exactly 30 seconds trying to pick the lock, said it was unpickable and went to his car to get a drill and another lock to replace it. Took him may be 15 minutes to drill and replace the lock then he handed me a bill for 258 dollars. I said how could something that jtook under 30 minutes with very little effort cost so much. *He didn't care, just took my credit card and charged it."* 5. IF I COULD GIVE THEM NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD NOT HESITATE! *This is my first review and I actually made a yelp account just to save anyone from falling into their scam* they call a business. 6. They call themselves locksmiths, but that is a joke. They completely busted our font door lock (to the point that the handle was hanging loosely off the door and no long worked to keep the door closed), then proceeded to charge (and demand!) $150 for the "service." *I could have gotten in a lot quicker and cheaper by borrowing a neighbor's hammer!* -Rusty

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that we'll be having art murmur this evening at sudo room. Coyote counter collective will be there from 7-10pm repping art, designs, and photos from a dozen different artists -including laser etched stuff! mediumreality.com We may also have a visit from Masahiro and his brain interface machine once again! As Jenny mentioned, we have been asked by George and Laurie to close up shop by 11PM, so join us early for art, socialization, and hacking! - Marina

It's Unconscionable

by Eddan

Now, this requires a response. Has anybody started drafting something? If not, I will. ... Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&…> was not pleased. "I'm in shock that people would provide a class to teach people a skill to violate the law," Jordan said. "It's unconscionable." Lock-pick instructor Michael Fitzhugh<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&…> is a member of TOOOL (The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers<http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&…>), a Netherlands-based outfit that teaches and holds national and international lock-picking events annually. In their world, lock picking is done for sport and bragging rights. But, he says, it's also a useful tool if you lock yourself out of your home. Jordan has a more conventional solution to that problem: "Call a locksmith!" http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Quan-s-wrong-note-on-lock-picking-cla… Even worse than Quan, this guy's so desperate to change the subject about the incompetence of the OPD in news story after news story. Unconscionable!?! This coming from a police department that was about to go into an unprecedented federal receivership for its failure to reform; not to mention a police department seared with a global reputation for brutality, racism, and excessive means; and whose fundamental miscalculations and mismanagement of the response to Occupy cost the city millions of dollars.

Minor Physical Rearrangement

by hol＠gaskill.com

Hi Folks, First off, I'm glad we have so many people who are proactive in generating a response to the state-sponsored dumbfuckery. I have enjoyed the lively discussion since opening my inbox :) In more mundane news, last night Jack and I organized the shop area of sudo room in preparation for some CNC milling, and in the process I went kind of crazy rearranging things in and adjacent to the shop. I prioritized respecting other active projects over achieving ship-shape of course, and I hope I didn't disturb anybody's ongoing projects or create off-nominal feng-shui in the process. Below is an approximate change log SHOP AREA (2 benches, 2 coffee tables, 1 chair) -set up the CNC equipment in compact and functional configuration -constructed arm to hang CNC motor and store clamps -moved all corded tools to a quad-milk crate cubby (including heat gun) -cut a hole in one workbench for cords to concentrate cordless tool battery charging station -moved soldering irons over to window area for proper ventilation (where is the solder? and the solder flux? i brought a big tub of flux in a while back) -moved the folding typewriter stand to the bike area for better tool access there -rearranged various tools to be more compact -designated a jar for drill bits and driver bits -designated a bin for all fasteners/drywall anchors etc -labeled the misc hardware bucket -concentrated safety equipment in one area to do: get hooks for pegboard, hang more tools and trace outlines, add more hearing protection to safety equip, more lasers, more metal, 3D print a shop vac nozzle that mounts to the spindle head instead of clamping thank you for all those who constructed all the benches! i was all talk on that project... BIKE & MISC PROJECT AREA (1 bench, 1 bike stand, 1 typewriter stand) -moved some bike stuff onto typewriter stand for easier access -concentrated induction metallurgy equipment neatly under bench -assembled n-1 soldering irons, still need to hack a fan to exhaust out window during heavy soldering -moved coffee roaster and coffee machine to top of big fridge, heat gun to corded tools area, tripod to camera area in storage hallway to do: add ventilation and soldering consumables area, maybe add a shelf for more project storage, overhead/hanging storage for bulkier future bike components major to-do: construct a tower for brewing/storing beer equipment??? LONG TABLE -removed trash... -sorted some misc hardware -moved bag of electronic components to bookshelf next to other bag of electronic components -moved some stuff to upper tier to clear table -put one soldering iron by the oscilloscope for light/quick soldering not requiring ventilation to do: chain more power strips together for infinite energy Also moved the 2 desks in the back corner toward the wall just to assist in flow around long table...didn't seem like the optimum solution but both are still sittable. Also QR'd the shit out of various objects. I hope I didn't cause anyone a headache searching for stuff, I just wanted to get the shop in usable condition and wound up going into a whirlwind figuring it would be good to have the place a little more organized prior to art murmur. Cheers, Hol

Fwd: URGENT TO ALL TENANTS!!! First Friday Tomorrow Night....URGENT....PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

by Jenny Ryan

Notice from the landlord regarding tomorrow's First Friday event and new guidelines posted by the City of Oakland. TL;DR: -Laurie and George (the landlords) are asking that meetings disperse by 11pm, and that all doors be locked. -OPD will be setting up a mobile command post on Telegraph & W Grand -No First Friday events allowed south of W Grand -Event ends at 9pm with a moment of silence ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laurie Cooperman Rosen <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> Date: Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 2:17 PM Subject: URGENT TO ALL TENANTS!!! First Friday Tomorrow Night....URGENT....PLEASE READ CAREFULLY To: Laurie Cooperman Rosen <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/how-the-black-bloc-occupied-oakland/Co ntent?oid=3036670 The flier above (pdf) are guidelines for tomorrow night's First Friday Event in lieu of expected potential violence from the group listed in the web site above. Apparently at sites (unknown to me) this black bloc group has been advocating that people come out en mass and cause trouble after First Friday is over. We are asking that groups meeting in the building disburse by 11pm and that all doors, esp. doors to Broadway, 22nd Street and the Alley behind out of 2135, as well as the gate into the front entrance of 2135, be securely locked by this time. George will be there at that time to convince all to leave the building and he will secure it. Groups or individuals not adhering to this warning and coming back to the building after that time may find themselves responsible not only for damages to their persons but damage done to the building or others. This is a serious issue; even the Security Ambassadors are being asked to go home by midnight for their own personal safety, and there is no expectation that the police will have enough personnel on the streets should this get out of hand. Many of you were not there a few years ago during the (Oscar Grant) riots....it was not pretty, and there WAS damage to our property. Trouble is NOT expected early in the evening. Enjoy yourselves, but try to monitor alcohol consumption (your own and those around you) for the safety of all tomorrow evening...and get home early....and SAFELY! Laurie & George

Sudo Room Signage

by Eddan Katz

We should put up signage for Sudo Room on the Broadway side of the building. We've already asked George about whether it would be OK to put it on the arched awning above the 2141 Broadway door and have the go ahead. Apparently, if we use the same white on blue format, there are no additional costs. Other colored designs would require Sudo room being registered with the city & have to take part in paying for insurance for the building (albeit proportional). Does anyone have the tools necessary to make the stencil? Anyone up for painting over the stencil in the bear future? In fact, if it's trivial to do - might make sense to try and get it done by Art Murmur tomorrow night. sent from eddan.com

Membership dues - payment options!

by Tommy York

Hey everyone, Please pay membership dues when you get a chance. I updated the WePay campaign page, so you can again donate money / pay membership dues (with a new total in the percentage widget covering February actual and projected March), and can collect checks whenever you see me. I live two blocks away, so I'm more than happy to just run over if I'm not getting anything done. At the moment, I'm trying to collect all the payment information, so I can develop a member list for February. Paying in advance for March is always nice too. I think we'll be starting a sudo-fund - another, separate sub-listserv - soon, which will discuss ideas for funding Sudoroom. Projects, processes, the like.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Artmurmur] Art Murmur membership

Thanks Eddan, I'm glad you're taking action on this. I'm still finishing up the wiring on my megavirus, this Friday and Saturday is Barbot 2013 in San Francisco, so I will be busy until Sunday.

While an ad hoc group makes sense for particular projects, I think some kind of stable, but dynamic group of Sudo folk, even if just a few people, could really help round up participation for displaying the art people make anyhow as well as other coordination as required. I propose we form something like a Dynamic Association for Displayed Art (DADA) that rotates active contributors each month based on the particular installations and projects are going on. Documenting how we go about it each month on the Sudo Wiki would also be really helpful for coordinating future events more efficiently. > > Given the Ferro Fluids phenomena transpiring in Sudo Room and now the arrival of a giant papier-maché cruise-ship, we should get some Sudo folks on a cc:ed list to communicate about the Aug. 3 Art Murmur. This group can solicit people's art, make sure projectors, etc. are set up, make sure there are cups to accompany the wine, make sure teenagers don't exceed their turn playing Frogger, and other logistics evidently requiring organization. > > I want to put together a 'happening' connected to the box office maximum occupancy experiment on Aug. 3, if anyone else wants to help out with > that. And with the Ghostbusters showing at the Paramount - it would also be great to get some help with the 8.5 ft. inflatable Stay Puft Marshmallow Men (which ended up taking more than three hours to hang from the roof of 2135 Broadway, even with the landlord George's assistance.) > > So since the August First Friday Art Murmur is now coming upon us in a week and a half and with the possibility of also doing something for the Saturday Stroll, we should find out who's interested in being in the DADA committee for August. Following up on yesterday's meeting minutes > about Art Murmur (https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom), please let Tracy (kinetical at comcast.net) and/or me know and we'll start off the planning discussion. > > -Eddan > [7/2012 DADA collaborator] > > > On 6/23/12 5:37 PM, Tracy Jacobs wrote: > > Welcome Hilary! > > > > So about the Art Murmur membership, I don't see anything on here that > > would exclude us, it might require some small time committments from > > people to have the "gallery" open.
