Words of Resistence [Oakland Wiki recital]

by Vicky Knox

Tonight's another Words of Resistence radical poetry reading! It's "A night of words to explore and destroy our relationship with technology!" I know I totally disagree with that, and that a lot of the people who organize and go to this event have a collectively more nuanced perspective than this (in part because of rumors I've been spreading to them about radical technology communities like Sudo Room). I want to see more nuanced conversation and intersection of radical communities, so I'm … [View More]

Xavier's Ban.

by Xavier Peniche

I have no problem being Banned out of the Sudo Room. This is Because I have undergone a sever economic depression that has left of my liberalist plans in queue. Since I am unable to launch a political platform to present my liberation, as a leader of a movement beyond precedent, I rather wait until I can get my career back in track, save enough resources, open a few businesses, and do such. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make my dreams come true. I believe this ban is about me … [View More]

If you have a list you're on that this information is appropriate for, please send it! thanks, Rachel McConnell --- Starting April 5, Ace Monster Toys Hackerspace in Oakland is pleased to host a month of design courses and workshops with Régis Lemberthe of A&Ré Design. Originally trained as an industrial designer, Régis graduated with his Master's Degree in Humanitarian Design And Sustainable Living before moving to Berlin and getting involved in the local maker community. He now presents several different workshops there, in parallel with his activities as part of A&Ré Design Studio. From his description of the Design Tour (http://2014.design-tour.org): "One of the most appropriate and exciting answers to mass production and consumption, the maker movement has in the last years gained considerable recognition. Fab labs and hacker spaces are being created in every major city, offering those familiar with low-scale productions techniques access to adequate machinery, as well as training for everyone else. Skill sharing in fab labs is based on the know-how and experience of artists, designers, makers, programmers and hackers committed to making production accessible to all. Yet, while some techniques are widely spread, others sadly remain more confidential. After a few years spent facilitating events at Betahaus Berlin, French designer Régis Lemberthe goes on tour - a series of craft workshops and social+collaborative design courses hosted in maker spaces of various different cities - lasting for a month, wherever interest and facilities are. It has started in 2013 in Betahaus Berlin and will continue in early 2014 in the US, Canada and London before proceeding towards south-east Asia.

Not a lot seems to be happening in the Bay Area for it, but I thought folks might find this interesting: Saturday is the 10th anniversary celebration for Arduino (wow, it's been that long?), http://day.arduino.cc/ Also, a $3, $6, $9 flash sale on boards (allowing backorders) if anyone is looking to stock up! https://www.sparkfun.com/arduinoday ~ dana
