No Jake, that TV has a big green stripe going through the middle. From
what I've read on the web it might be something we can fix by mucking
with/cleaning connections, but it is probably new panel time, which is
unlikely to be worth the effort with a box of that vintage. I'll schlep
in the TV I have & the mount.

Hey all,
Someone was experimenting with electrical stuff and tripped breakers...
I think Sudo's standard outlets should be rewired with GFI outlets if this
will cut down on this happening -
I will volunteer to replace these with one other who knows electrical
(Whitney? Jake?) if it can be budgeted. Is this agreeable to folks?
Hi Ed,
the flatscreen TV mounted near the 3d printers says it works but i have
never tried it. I will try it and determine whether it's ewaste or not.
there's another huge display that RAYC was playing with, we should do the
same thing. I think it would be nice to have several working mounted
screens around.
As for the one you are offering, I think you should bring it in, and it's
great that it has a mount because we should put it up right away.
I am excited to have more of this type of infrastructure in sudoroom
because i think there are a lot of limitations to projectors that can be
overcome by having screens like this around.

Hey sudoers
I'm teaching a web programming class of about 20 high school seniors
(17-18 years old) who live in Oakland. They are primarily people of
color and underprivileged in some way, having reached hardships enough
to find themselves at a continuation high school due to bad grades.
I'd like to bring them on a fieldtrip to sudo room/omni for an hour or
two so they can see the tech, get a tutorial on 3d printers & see one
in action. Maybe if people wanted to show off their projects they're
working on, that'd be cool too!
Anyone interested in this sort of thing?

hey sudoers,
I met a guy named Chris Shaw about a week ago. He is the second person
I've met at the omni who came through because of the East Bay Express
article!!! (:
Chris wants to know if anyone wants to talk with him about the code he's
developed for auto-animating emotions and speech in CGI characters. It's
basically the next level in creating virtual CGI people with very flexible,
self-generating behavior: applications include NPCs in video games (of
course), next-gen conversation bots like AIM's SmarterChild back in the
day, and even therapeutic tools to help autistic children practice emoting.
http://vimeo.com/113120097http://vimeo.com/113571986
the same tech can be used to animate animatronic robots.
He's looking for collaborators to develop applications for this tech. If
anyone's interested in playing with the technology or has questions for Mr.
Shaw, you can contact him at: xophershaw(a)gmail.com !
Howl,
px
Super Cool !!! Very Happy to see this idea materialized.

Let us be together,
Let us eat together,
Let us be vital together,
Let us be radiating truth,
radiating the light of life,
Never shall we denounce anyone,
never entertain negativity. -- The
Upanishads
With 8 hours left to go, some kind soul just topped us off and brought us
to our goal!
Looking forward to the next 6 months making this ship seaworthy with y'all!

We expect to hit the target before midnight just from more
crowdfunding, Ed! If you really want to forgive some debt, we can
forward your email to the finance list, but it' s not necessary to
finish the crowdfunding campaign IMO :)
