Setting the tone for our late afternoon workshops next week at SudoRoom ...
they will be running roughly from Monday -> Thursday from around 3pm-5pm.
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time
-- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly
all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when
awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one
representing the public interest can even …
[View More]grasp the issues; when the people
have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question
those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting
our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish
between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing,
back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of
substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second
sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator
programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but
especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
- Carl Sagan, the Demon Haunted World

Hi Everyone,
I hope your week is off to a great start! This Thursday is Lecture 2 of
Counter Culture Lab's Biohacker Academy. This week we are going over how
DNA, RNA, proteins are synthesized in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The
terminology we will be teaching is essential for talking about experimental
biology. The concepts covered are important for troubleshooting protocols
later down the road. Per the class request, we will be using our in house
Open Insulin Project to illustrate these topics.
The following week we will have the lab course that goes with this topic
where we will walk you through DNA extraction and monoculture techniques.
RSVP :)

Lab Sunday Feb. 28 10 - 1 ish will be posted.
See y'all there :)
Mary

hey, after i do my id verification next week, possibly this friday,
starting some late afternoon algorithms study sessions at SudoRoom!
This will also be a good time to update the blog, add videos.
So->
- Does anyone have any newest videos of stuff going on?
- Updates on projects?
- Know people searching for work / have free time to update their
algorithms skills?
More coming later.

I had a great time at last night's Omni Party!
It was great stopping by the Omni, Counter Culture labs, and SudoRoom.
Thank you for inviting me.
I took a break after spending a lot of time at SudoRoom last summer, which
was a good idea.
I worked on this quickie project page last summer:
http://sudoroom.github.io/sudoRoom-Projects-Landing-page/
Are there any updates to any of the projects?
Would anyone be interested in putting up a javascript hack night project
page?
I think coming back …
[View More]to SudoRoom I'll take things slowly -- got wrapped up
in it, and was distracted by my own interests and projects. I'm very much
into highly technical topics, mobile payments, and other stuff that's more
entrepreneurial! It was really nice getting back into the groove and being
around really passionate, technical people... Education isn't my focus,
although it's a possibility with the right team!

dissect a real pig heart and figure out what made them tick. (Label maker
…

Subject: [sudo-info] Invitation to participate in The Omni Fair
To: info(a)sudoroom.org
Hello Sudo Room,
I want to invite you to participate in The Omni Fair on Friday, April
29th. Omni’s Birdhouse Art Collective has the awesome opportunity to
host this event as part of the 8th annual Open Engagement conference.
Open Engagement is an international conference and …
[View More]platform to support
socially engaged art. The conference highlights the work of
transdisciplinary artists, activists, students, scholars, community
members, and organizations.
For this occasion, Birdhouse is hosting an all-day event which we hope
will include an array of interactive booths from the different
collectives to showcase Omni’s interdisciplinary, creative, and
practical endeavors. This event provides a wonderful opportunity for
the Omni member collectives to creatively present their work to not
just the Omni community, but the national and international arts and
activist community attending the Open Engagement conference.
What we want from your collective is what you want to share! We are
looking to create booths for the collectives to show and share their
projects. Each booth should invite audience participation, however you
want to create that interaction. These booths are places for mini
workshops, skill shares, or any other ways you want to engage with the
community. Your booth does not have to be overtly “artistic,” because
creativity is in everything at Omni. And we want to celebrate that
beauty!
Please email me if you have any questions or want to participate!
A Birdhouse member would also be happy to stop by one of your
organizing meetings to discuss the project in more detail.
Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers!
Maggie Wong and Birdhouse Art Collective
