Anyone else notice that the NASDAQ Composite Index has about reached the nominal peak of the dotcom boom? It's not at the real value peak (i.e. adjusted for inflation), but still pretty peakish:
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=COMP&instty…
It seems to me that additional market forces caused by the likes of a crisis in student debt or perhaps a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, could hasten the inevitable burst. Otherwise we may be looking at just a few years before a substantial fall in the stock market, devaluation of over-inflated "tech" companies, subsided startup investment, decrease in technology field employment, or other similar things...
What might one do to prepare, as if not soon, at least inevitably there will be some stock market crash that will largely affect the wide bay area economy?

that's totally excellent. I have two of those but i haven't had a chance
to play with them yet.
perhaps there needs to be another hacknight at sudoroom, called software
hacking thursdays or something like that? since this would technically be
software since the hardware is already put together...
but who would host a Software Hacking Thursdays at sudoroom every week?
do you have one yet? what would you do with it?
i still haven't had a chance to play with openWRT and the zillions of
compatible routers i have piles of. They run on a wide range of voltage
(built-in buck converter) and they run linux, they have a TTL serial port
and a few GPIOs.. what can't you do with them?

Heya folks,
We just got an interesting booking submission for a possible event in June.
Nothing is firm about this event booking yet, but I wanted to throw it out
there in case we wanted to discuss adding pieces, etc to their festival.

I would be interested in assisting with this event, possibly contributing
to it, and perhaps CCL/Sudo could come up with some creations as well.

Anyone interested in testifying at court about how IP addresses work? It's
for a good cause/you'll make a couple hundred bucks in the process. If so,
get in touch with Kate Raven <raven.kate(a)gmail.com>. She's a public
attorney, and you'll find her values are pretty closely aligned with those
at Sudo.

Null,
Thanks for your help. Basically, I need someone who code testify as an
"expert" in a probation violation hearing next tuesday. It should be an
interesting experience for whoever does it and I should be able to pay a
couple hundred bucks. Basically, the "expert" just needs to have some
credentials in computer stuff above that of a lay person (I need them to be
able to explain to the court what an IP address is, what an IP login is,
and some stuff around this.) If anyone is interested, I can explain more
but it is a really worthwhile case.

Can any one say if membership or access to SudoRoom comes with a donation to the campaign. And if so, what level of donation is required?
A friend asked me, "Will I get a membership to use their tool shop if I donate?”.
Thoughts? I don’t see why this couldn’t be incorporated somehow.
