Does anyone out there have a way to help a very tech unsavy me unlock my
iphone 4? Cash, trade, or work? I'm willing to learn myself, or if u know
of a local shop I could take it to. So far I tried AppleNBerry and
iHackWireless with no success. I don't have a computer and I hear u need
itunes to do it yourself?
Thanks a ton
There's a set of presumptions that can inherently defy our best efforts at
redirection even when we can offer concrete factual refutations.
I unhesitatingly use the phrase "Breaking Set&Setting" as a most apt one,
Call it an "Anti-Fnord! so to speak... Do look up the ancestry of the terms
if they're not old friends:)
Summary- We've a set and setting that demands inflation of rents as if it
were desirable, or even mandatory. the end result is inevitable yet NOT
mandatory. Can we discuss strategies to fix the Rent Problem?

Hello all,
I have two friends in town who are headed southward tomorrow. Is anyone driving that direction who would like more interesting conversation and gas contributions?
Thanks for reading!

Hey all,
At the Omni Collective's communications working group meeting, we discussed
how it is immediately critical to share the skills and knowledge of using
communication, collaboration, and coordination tools.
Some tools are already in place, such as the Wiki
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/, a simple Calendar
http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Calendar, and email lists for logistics
https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/omnilogistics and announcements
https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/omni-announce
It would be most excellent if sudoers could join us in:
(a) Sitting down for 1-on-1 walk-throughs on tool usage
(b) Creating curriculum, resources, and simplified tutorials for tools
(c) Holding workshops or other engagements for skill-sharing
(d) Maintaining the wiki http://wiki.omni-oakland.org
(e) Joining the communications working group to work on sensitively
adopting good tools and practices that are relevant, useful, and keep the
overall experience inclusive and empowering for all members of the Omni
Oakland Collective.
Next meeting is Monday May 19th:

Gentrification is absolutely awesome ... for some people. At the
expense of other people. Even if the data in that study is reliable (I
have my doubts), the overall analysis reduces people to numbers. It
suggests that some of us are expendable for the "financial health" of
others. It's not "a rising tide lifts all boats". It's more like a
rising tide lifts 70% of boats, so let the others drown.
It also does not ask why some neighborhoods are undervalued in the
first place, when in fact divestment and gentrification are two faces
of the same system. I would never blame people for doing what they
need to do to survive, but we can never gentrify our way to justice.
We need to address problems at their root, remain critical of the
system, and work towards a society where EVERYBODY can prosper.

Google engineers are being vilified ...
As much as I love my Googler friends, I bristle at comparing
anti-Googlism to racism, or oppression based on "creed" or "gender
preferences". I'm not even sure what "gender preferences" are.

I don't think there is any danger of that. Our community already
includes many people who work for large tech companies. Some of my
favorite people. They generally have nuanced analyses of the ethics
involved, recognize the compromises they are making, and will probably
say they are "working within the system," or at least donate their
disposable income towards good things. Very few would say "I'm
profiting. Yay!"
In fact, I'd say the average tech worker is very bad at profit motive.
Otherwise we'd have a strong union, be earning a larger piece of the
pie, and not letting our labor, talent and wealth be so transparently
leeched off by big companies and landowners, which is exactly what's
happening, to the detriment of everybody else.

Standing up for the subjugated voice of Google engineers is great and
all, but I wouldn't quite call it "welcoming all people". May any of
us someday earn the right to use that phrase.
FYI!

Hi Jen-Mei,
Want to pass this on to folks at LOLspace? We are getting this
exciting-looking router and free software, and someone from Inventables is
going to demo it at a workshop this week at DU. Sorry for the short
notice!

Hi Sho Sho,
Hope things are well! Meant to send this sooner but it slipped my
mind, along with a few other things this end-of-semester... In case
anyone at Hacker Moms is interested in CNC routers, Inventables is
going to be teaching us to use one of theirs at Double Union
hackerspace this Wednesday evening. It's an open event, Hacker Moms
invited! (Wendy will hopefully be there, too). Details and RSVP link
here:
http://doubleunion.tumblr.com/post/84976864349/learn-to-use-the-shapeoko-cn…
If there is interest but this comes at too short notice, or is a bit
late on a school night, let me know - we'll likely host some more
teaching and making events after we get our own assembled!
Natalie

Hey all,
A volunteer from Rock Paper Scissor Collective, James, here is interested
in learning to fix a recently broken iphone. Anyone up to lend a hand,
trade, or gig?
Also, if anyone has learning resources or videos that were especially
useful, sharing those could help too.
Please see the message below and contact James at JamesJcCox(a)me.com
