*could someone who is really good at interior design and is down with
burning man come in and dress up SudoRoom so that it looks charming like a
$500,000 burning man set instead of just a workshop where smart people come
to hack things?*
I suck at this stuff and i have a lot to do but I will try my best to add
more "blinky lights" elements to the space.
*I think a similar analogy is that of a real artist's studio versus how you
present the artist's studio when a patron comes in. *
*usually these places are a mess of broken bottles and stuff and look
disgusting, but when you have this gallery walk through day, people tidy
things up and you make it look like an upscale fashion boutique on valencia
street in the mission*

*Here is a second cyberwizard blog post - it has adventures in html and vim*
please pass around / watch / direct people to it and see if they can donate
too
this is the real stuff that makes SudoRoom special.
I don't know of too many other people who would favor teaching newbies and
random people vim alongside beginning html. I don't know anyone else who
takes time to explain the history of unix while teaching the command
line... it's really nice!
and then please ask people to donate!

Hellos Sudoers-Meshers,
*If you need to get in touch with me, please use my email address.*
Lost Cellphone:
It's been a few days now that I have lost my cellphone.
For almost two months now I have been careless about keeping the phone on,
and even to carry the phone with me.
And even though that the feeling that we are under constant illegal
surveillance is awful; I still need that thing to communicate with the rest
of the world (textsecure, redphone).
Anyhow, If you found a Samsung Nexus 4, with some tape on the front camera
lens; please let me know. Changes are that I may have left it at Sudo, by
accident.
Regardless: it is good that at least I backed up about a three months ago.
Too bad that Prey Project cannot tell me where it is, perhaps because it is
without charge right now. But, it is good that at least it is encrypted.
Many thanks,
Daniel
p.s. intended subliminal-message: secure your phone, 'cuz the changes of
getting lost are high.

hey dudes! could someone who is usually too busy to sudoroom but loves us
come in and do some kind of thing on our 3d printer with this 3d printer
that prints "do not copy" keys?
It would be a nice blog post and if you make it extra snarky but not mean
it would pump a cynical hacker's ego.
Plus it would get al to of people who talk about hackerspaces to look at us
and give us donations!

This is sort of terrible and evil but we need moneCould someone do a 1x thing wihh little girls in pink where they learn electronics through jewelry ? This is harmful and terrible but it's what people like. After we take lots of photos and the girls Potential is destroyed (just kidding ) you can sneak them into the back and tell them they can play with unisex toys !

would anyone be interested in doing something "for kids" or people who are
most likely 1x visitors?
this is a large swathe of the public - a lot of cool people are simply
curious about hackerspaces, but many who visit are probably just going to
drop by, look at something cool like a raspberry pi or a 3d print out and
then never come back again
for donations etc. it would be cool to just make special projects just for
these people and schedule "visiting sudoroom" day
maybe from this group we could harvest repeat visitors, but most likely we
won't
i think stuff that would qualify would be:
- arduino music projects
- raspberry pi proejcts
- anythignt od o with kids - "gardening with kids", "learning to make
games with kids", "kids making artificial kids", "artificial intelligence
with kids", "kids creating mind control objects for parents"
- something with a lilypad
- a 3d printing project that's easy
These 1x visitor kits should come in attractive boxes that are clean, and
when they visit the space should be tidied up a bit
i think we should probably do something like this once a quarter. it would
be probably better than a party, or should be coordinated with a party..
