Someone’s iPhone 4 with cracked glass has been hanging out at sudoroom for at least a few days. The device name it has been given is Vox. Its in sudoroom on the table in the middle of the room where the people sit.
look at the cover of this book (you can click on the image)
http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/low-power-people
the text in the back cover says:
Jake designed this transmitter with the help of wizened elders, to
provide a reliable and repairable communications device for noncapitalist
communities around the world. At that time, cheap and effective
transmitters from China were not yet available on eBay, found by
searching for ST-15B in "consumer electronics".
you'll notice that there are pictures of Mandela and Ghandi on there. The
circuitboards were fabbed eight at a time, so we put a transparency over
the whole thing with EIGHT different pairs of dead revolutionaries:
Mandela and Ghandi
Nina Simone and Rosa Parks
Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Rachel Corrie and Judi Bari
Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra
Emma Goldman and Mother Jones
Ernesto Zapata and Ricardo Flores Magon
Annie Oakley and Lyudmila Pavlichenko
you might notice a pattern of dichotomy in rhetoric vs. direct action,
that was accidental.
needs to be amended already :)
just spoke with the owner of pizzaiolo (Charlie) and he's letting me sell
books outside his restaurant whenever I want to (!), so location and
permitting concerns are now moot!
also, Charlie is *really* into the omni and wants to be a part of it in any
way possible. He also owns boot & shoe and penrose... I'm sure he would
love to do food/drinks for the upcoming omni fundraiser, so someone please
let me know info and dates about that!
He called us an "art movement", which I thought was pretty funny. I was
stoned so I didn't correct him- plus it's not entirely untrue, although
it's definitely an abbreviated way of thinking about what we're all doing.
I figure his ideas about the omni will become richer thru participation :)
anyways, my $1-$7 booksale has moved and is now in front of pizzaiolo
tonight, a couple blocks from the omni. Stop by if you're free! let me
loose for a pee break?
xoxo

Has anyone been moving stuff around in the room above the stage? Chris b's lair???
My brother's loop pedal is missing!!
Also, a mic and mic stand but really the loop pedal is crucial and valuable.... Has anyone seen it?
Plz let me know!
Thanks so much,
Scott
Also does anyone have Chris b's number? Maybe he took it whole
Clearing out stuff?
hey all,
there's a dell xps m1710 laptop in the space for which there doesn't seem
to be a 130 Watt (19.5V ~ 6.7A) power adapter around. It won't boot without
a 130 watt supply, and I haven't found any equivalent.
does anyone have a power adapter for this?
if not, if anyone wants to buy one for $20, you can do that here:

PROPOSAL: to let Scott sell books outside/nearby the omni up to 2 days a
week
Dear OOC community,
I am intending to start selling books outdoors and on the street, and I'm
wondering if there's a way that I can somehow do it, two days a week,
nearby or directly outside the omni. I really think this has the potential
to be good for everyone!
First, ways in which the OOC can benefit by this. I will make the finances
of all sales public to the ooc, and would agree to either paying a nominal
monthly fee (remember, this is going to be outside, perhaps between TAC and
lanesplitters on 48th?), which would be sliding scale (ex: if i actually
make any profit at all, the omni gets more $/month) or, preferably, 10% of
(non-consignment) sales, which seems easier to me. This hopefully would
also cover being able to store (2) boxes and my handtruck in the omni. The
boxes would be likely be constant, but the handtruck would only be at the
omni 1-2 nights a week max.
Another way OOC members can benefit from this is through consignment. Both
korl and Jenny have expressed interest in consigning some of their books
for sale, and since my operation is so small, I think I could manage
consigning with just about any core member of the ooc. The small size is a
bit constrictive- I'll probably only have 100 books plus ephemera "on the
shelves", and it will be completely curated, so I'll have to be really
selective with consignment. BUT i'm really into this idea and hope that it
will, in a small way, be able to financially help out members of the OOC
who do so much unpaid labor for the omni. I already have multiple
spreadsheets that i've been using to track consignments of my own books in
local bookshops, as well as for TIL books i've been consigning to owl and
company. It's been a couple months and i haven't let anything slip by, so
i'm confident I could keep track of ooc members' books, should anyone want
to consign!
Also, this will totally help bring more people into the omni (and La
Commune too)! I think, since I'll only have about 100 books at a given
time, a lot of people won't find what they're looking for and will likely
walk inside omni to browse la commune's shelves :)
Being near the omni will help me out greatly. Since a lot of OOC members
will be around, I would be able to go on quick bathroom breaks or grab more
stock from my storage box, and be able to see all of you lovely people
while "at work"! Plus, I'd get to spread the word about the omni to
book-lovers and passersby, and occasionally play acoustic guitar while
tending to the "shop", which would make my set-up even better.
My hope is that, although this project won't really operate *inside* the
building, that it could still serve as a model for other business type
tenants/member collectives in the omni, one that is based on transparency,
gratitude, and mutual aid.
Other closing thoughts/concerns:
should I contact the Temescal Arts Center and see if they'd be okay with me
setting up in between them and lanesplitters a couple days a week? does
anyone have that contact info?
and, if I do sell books on the street and have it be loosely affiliated
with the omni, would it at all pose any legal problems for us?
Thanks and love,
Scott
ps no problem at all if it doesn't work out for this bookselling thing to
be associated with omni- there's plenty of outdoor space all over oakland!
that being said, I think it could be really great. <3
pps i'll be having a small $1-$5 booksale tomorrow night in temescal alley
(49th and telegraph) from 6-9 pm tomorrow night! Come drop by if you're
free!
Hey, are there any education heads at SudoRoom?
has anyone at SudoRoom reached out to Oakland Tech?
Don't they study electronics and mechanical stuff?
Wouldn't hanging around the shop at SudoRoom be a cool way to augment the
apprenticeship program and inject a little theroy and science magic?
