Hey all, I'm having some trouble with shawn in the bookstore. He comes in and makes a mess and is rude and obstinate when I ask him to clean it up. In general he's pretty nasty to me and while I am sympathetic to his situation I'm going to have to start asking him to leave the bookstore when I am here. N

person who can type in chinese to translate something for me?

by Jake

I am looking for someone who can help me write an email in chinese, for the purpose of specifying a technical design to a chinese factory. My first attempt to communicate with a diagram did not work out. If you or someone you know is available to help me translate an email, I would appreciate it. I don't trust google translate to do a good job, and I respect the engineers in China enough not to send them a computer translation. The information I need to convey is the wiring pattern for a pedal-power generator which will be part of a product where people can power their laptop (or television or whatever) by pedalling a stationary bicycle. thank you! -jake

The Fibonnacci Library (call for materials donations & help) aka Golden Spiral Bookshelves

by Naomi Most

Hello Noisebridge and friends, As you may already be aware, in the post-Reboot world we lack -- and very much need -- library shelving. A lovely and spacious space has been set aside near the Fox Lounge for the books, but shelving has remained elusive, especially in light of other priorities. Plus we cannibalized the old shelves for other construction in the space. --- TL;DR: if you can help provide lumber and/or help with construction, or if you'd just like to see this thing exist and can contribute money, please email me. We'll be working on this in mid-January. --- I believe that art has had a tremendously positive transformative impact on Noisebridge, and I wish to continue that tradition by turning the library construction into a work of art itself. I propose the The Fibonacci Library aka Golden Spiral Bookshelves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number Submitted for your approval, a collaborative design for the new library shelves. Scotty did the original sketchup, Steve derived the calculations. According to our specs, we will need roughly the following: ** 60 feet of 1/2" thick, 15" wide boards ** 90 feet of 1" thick, 16" wide boards. The cost for this library will vary widely depending on the materials we have to work with. I'd like to buy "real" wood, but cost may be prohibitive. I'd LOVE to build a library with a combo of found materials, but that may make the project very difficult. If you have advice about materials procurement and utilization, I'm all sensory-organs. If you want to help, let me know -- we'll start gathering our forces in January after many of us get home from CCC. Yours, Naomi -- Naomi Theora Most naomi(a)nthmost.com +1-415-728-7490 skype: nthmost http://twitter.com/nthmost
