Hi all,
Bio-Link Depot is currently holding a FREE Biosafety Cabinet for us, that
would be perfect to start up CCL's BSL-2 lab room. That means we'd be able
to work with human cell lines and samples, and to isolate microorganisms
with interesting properties (such as bioluminescent bacteria from squid
skin, or oil degrading bacteria from soil).
Catch is... we need to go get it! And soon, because there are other groups
interested as well. The Bio-Link Depot is just North of the SF airport,
only half an hour away if you can avoid traffic. We've been advised to pick
up during daylight, so as to avoid interactions with the security around
the airport.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT, and when during daytime works for you.
The current plan is to rent a UHaul truck with a loading ramp, and winch it
up (the cabinet is on heavy casters). But if someone has a truck with a
lift gate, that would be even better. Marc - the truck we used last time,
was that Rikke's?
Thanks!
Patrik
Has anyone been blogging their projects at SudoRoom? I know Luis has been doing stuff.
I think it'd be nice to document my stuff more so folks know what's possible at SudoRoom

the other day i noticed a bunch of copper wires I had near the robot were
gone. I thought it was strange that they were all taken.
today Rob mentioned that someone has taken all the copper windings off of
his project. He also says that a week ago, his phone was stolen from
where it was with his shirt, and his shirt was found outside.
We all should have seen this coming but I really don't want this to keep
happening. I think we might need to start thinking about locks on the
sudoroom/CCL space, on all three doors connecting the room.
when members close down the space they will be able to lock the doors and
then we don't have to worry as much about people tearing apart our hard
work so they can cash in copper to get a few bucks...

able to make it out for one of our remaining shows: March 28, April 3, 4,
10 & 11, all at 8pm. Remember: come early (door open at 7) and bring an
appetite!
Rabble Rouser and Ring Leader of The Free Theater (me) will be on KPFA
talking to Richard Wolinsky about the project this Monday, March 30 at
2:30. Tune in! You can also hear the interview any time on our website at:

hey doers, here is a free event for/by javascript nerds. http://dancejs.io
It's about code music and dancing. this is our third event. There will
be free food and some hackable toys, and a dancing robot boombox. get your
free tickets or just show up and say you are from sudoroom, and johnny sent
you. starts at 4:30 ish til 10.
once there, talk loudly about how much sweeter the event would be if we
hosted it at the OMNI
Hi all,
I moved the microwave, toaster, and toaster oven out of CCL and back
upstairs. Keeping our lab clean enough to do real work is hard enough as it
is without having kitchen appliances all over the place. (Someone had also
moved the microwave into the wetlab part of CCL, which is most definitely
NOT ok.)
The major electrical problem that required these appliances to move out of
the kitchen area upstairs has been resolved weeks ago, so there's no reason
for them to stay down here. I have not yet plugged them in upstairs, but
they should obviously NOT be plugged into the same circuit...
Thanks!
Patrik
I thought it best to fwd this to the group. short notice i know.

We are having a terrific response to our April Fool's Day
effort, the one time when you can hilariously say what you think about
miracle diets, specious reasoning and anything else that ticks you off the
other 364 days a year.
If you need any help with formatting or fleshing out ideas, let me know. We
even have a big surprise guest columnist who will be making a major
announcement.
If you want your article to appear on the April Fool's Day
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZlcczXns5j8fzqrQebDHqTFcI6RQU_qs_R8te9QPf2AI…>
page permanently, be sure to click the Hot Topics dropdown for the event on
the right when you edit - and set the date and time for April 1.
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ZlcczXns5j8fzqrQebDHqTFcI6RQU_qs_R8te9QPf2AI…>
We are inviting people from all across science media, so pass this along if
you know someone with a sense of humor. We will put it under their byline
and link to their site, so it will make people laugh and get them some free
publicity.
Yours in science outreach,
Hank
