Greetings, Tony here, visitor to SR several times now, most recently this Wednesday night + Thursday morning. Wednesday evening (Jan. 29) in the vicinity of 530pm (PST) I swapped my unworking Dell Latitude D531 laptop for an even older, yet reportedly functional Dell laptop with a gentleman whose name I was told, & promptly forgot. I wanted to inquire, since I was unable to come back to SR Wednesday night after my Spanish class as I had originally promised, whether said gentleman was able to get the D531 working, & also to let him know that I left a dock intended for use with said laptop in the Sudo Room closet Thursday afternoon. Or, rather my friend Carl left it there as I had to leave that morning before anyone w/ a key arrived to open the back hack-chamber. Please feel free to get in touch with me at this e-address (longshanks(a)spaz.org). Thanks & congrats on the great space-in-progress! T. -- Løng$h@nk$ Not all who wander are lost.

recreation of the Hungarian Bubble Sort Folk Dance

by Romy Ilano

At some point when I am able to walk again we have to recreate this amazing Hungarian Bubble Sort Folk Dance during a SudoRoom meeting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyZQPjUT5B4 WE MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN. I'm sure the biohacking people could also suggest creative dance performances simluating mitosis, meiosis in a way that is not sexually offensive and PG-13 for children to watch too. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

mchawking brain-control round 3

by Steve Castellotti

Hello all- Is anyone interested in more brain-control hacking on McHawking (or wheelchairs in general) on February 22nd? Emotiv is hosting a hackathon specifically for EEG control of wheelchair, to benefit a young man in Malaysia, named Albert Wong. Venture Beat has even covered it: http://venturebeat.com/2014/01/20/wearables-with-a-purpose-emotiv-rallies-t… We've been getting contacted a few times about it and are hoping to attend. I did the original hack with Jake back in 2010 at Noisebridge: http://www.instructables.com/id/Brain-Controlled-Wheelchair/ And of course followed up this past August when McHawking was moved to Sudo Room. Here's the wiki page: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/McHawking_Robot_Hacking I'd be curious if anyone else would like to attend and collaborate. I guess the second (and bigger) question though would be how would people feel about loaning out McHawking for the day? It looks like the event is being held at 875 Howard Street: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/designathon-for-the-emotiv-insight-wearable-eeg… Anyway that decision is of course up to members and I wouldn't feel comfortable unless at least one member was in attendance too! I'd be willing to spring for a van rental (or whatever was necessary for transport, BART might even be possible if the batteries are up to the distance). Curious to hear everyone's thoughts and feedback. Cheers Steve Castellotti

ABS filament

by J Clark

Sudoers, Some of you use the Sudo 3D printer. We got a line on some reasonably priced ABS--1 pound spools for $13.50 each. These are the smaller spools, not the big 2 pounders. We have LOTS of colors, so if you're interested just ask and we'll see if we have it. We've tested the natural and it's pretty nice, strong. I haven't tested many of the colors yet, so would appreciate feedback. judi East Bay Maker Labs

Data Privacy Legal Hackathon, Feb 8-9 in SF

by J Clark

Hi Sudoers, I wanted to share info with you about the Data Privacy Legal Hackathon, which is happening NEXT WEEKEND, Feb. 8-9, locally in San Francisco at the Mozilla offices on Embarcadero. The entire hackathon has three locations: SF, NYC and London, all with the same format. In San Francisco we need hackers, makers, engineers, legal scholars, and product folks interested in privacy and personal data issues to participate in whatever way you'd like to. If you have an idea or want to join an existing project team, that would be great! We also need mentors for teams (smaller time commitment), or join us for presentations and prizes at the end Sunday, from 4-6pm. Did we mention that there are prizes? …and that we're looking for hackers, coders, and UI designers, among others? The aim of this announcement is to fire up a call to action to legally hack data privacy. We all know it's past time to collaborate and start doing something about the state of privacy and personal data, including the notice and consent work that some of our groups propose. As part of this project, Open Notice is sponsoring a pre-hackathon project to create a Legal Map for hackers to use at the event. We are also working ton a project based on a "use case" called the Consent Receipt Scenario to enable ‘customisers' to control personal information. The links will take you to the current state of that work. Follow the links below to register, look at projects, and propose your own! If questions, please don't hesitate to ask. https://www.hackerleague.org/hackathons/data-privacy-legal-hackathon Thank you! Mary Hodder & Judi Clark
