founder of the hacker/maker movement Tool Sale

by Jake

Nick Bertoni created a community workspace where people could come and build and learn with all types of tools and technology, mostly in the 1980's and 1990's. He also collected a lot of tools and materials, including an electronics lab, from which I already acquired stuff for sudoroom. This weekend you should go to the tool sale, even if you don't need anything, just to see all the awesome stuff. And certainly if you need something, no matter how weird or rare it is (or you never knew it existed) it will be there. I can tell you that the Sorensen DCR 20-25B works perfectly since I repaired it years ago. It's a 20V 25A regulated power supply. Attached is the Craigslist post for the sale, which will take place 10am-4pm saturday and sunday. It was written by a family friend who is an antiques dealer so it may not highlight the electronic / pneumatic elements in terms of what some people in maker-centric circles might be interested. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/gms/6268543313.html

Typescript fieldtrip?

by Lesley Bell

https://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-TypeScript-Meetup/events/242230151/ We've been talking a lot about functional programming on Thursday Javascript nights, so perhaps some of you would be interested in a meetup on Typescript at Noisebridge. Maybe this warrants a fieldtrip? -L

Cabinets for donation

by robb

Barbera Brady stopped by offering to donate these cabinets & cost of uhaul if needed. She met Adam & thought sudoroom might want them as they were her father's & he was a hacker/engineer type. Ideally, we would get them by the end of August if not sooner

DIY Safe Solar Eclipse viewing glasses

by aaronco36

Anyone here know how someone could make their own solar eclipse glasses in order to safely view the August 21st solar eclipse?? Was thinking of using multiply-folded metallized film laminate that's found in common antistatic bags for a filter. AFAICT, 5X foldings of the 2-ply antistatic bags -- 10 layers in total -- similar to those described at http://www.all-spec.com/Catalog/Static-Control/ESD-Safe-Bags/Static-Shieldi… and at http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserver?mwsId=SSSSSuUn_zu8l00xM82xlx_eN… seem to _completely_ block out all sunlight. All local stores in the general SudoRoom part of the East Bay that I've so far contacted are already out of stock or are running very low on manufactured and properly ISO-certified eclipse glasses, e.g., those type of places listed at www.yahoo.com/news/where-buy-eclipse-glasses-total-130000190.html Have also seen the warnings about buying counterfeit glasses, e.g., at http://abcnews.go.com/US/avoid-buying-counterfeit-solar-eclipse-glasses/sto… TY for good suggestions, -A aaronco36(a)sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org

getting rid of sewing machine and embroidery machine tables

by Jake

we've talked about this before but.. does anyone object to selling/giving away the giant JUKI sewing machine table AND embroidery machine table? i wish we could keep the latter (it's really cool when it works!) but since I haven't been able to get it to work (and i tried) i'm ready to give up on it. if nobody objects or offers a plan, i'll post them on craigslist and get them out of the space, for free if necessary. -jake
