Does the sudoroom still have occasional events to fix electronics?

by Ed Biow

I didn't see one on the calendar, but seem to recall seeing something like that in the past. A few months ago I laid out $180 to but something called a Ion Blockrocker Bluetooth to have a portable amplifier/speaker/microphone thingie for events. It was more or less adequate, but shortly after I got it the 3.5mm IN jack became unseated and now it doesn't make an adequate connection. I can still access the device by bluetooth, but not every device has bluetooth and bluetooth can be a bit … [View More]

"New" Sudo bike & redux of old Sudo bike, take one

by Chris Bee

And...action- [image: Inline image 1] IMO this is the ideal loaner bike- it's simple, light, not too nice but not a total piece of crap, and with a couple quick adjustments damn near anyone can ride it safely and comfortably. Best of all, I can build something like this out of junk with basic tools in a few hours so it's not a huge loss if it doesn't come back. Which brings me to my next point. I think loaning bikes out is a great idea, as long as there's an understanding that the the word "… [View More]

by Romy Ilano

Hey here's an open call for photography. I'm thinking of having an artist's meetup that bounces back and forth between Noisebridge and SudoRoom to support ... the artists! Planning a male figure drawing group, cartoon sessions jams, and more. http://rpscollective.org/open-call-for-photography/ This concept is fine art photography *that happens to come in Instagram form.* Think gorgeous shots of everyday life, especially Oakland-centered, arty, urban, lady-positive Instagram snaps.

Fwd: [i-announce@ischool] You're invited to next week's Brown Bag Seminar: A Reality Game to Cross Disciplines

by Troy Massey

"You are the source of Freedom : the price of Freedom is awareness and action" Begin forwarded message: From: School of Information <events(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Date: February 6, 2014 at 11:24:33 AM PST To: i-announce(a)ischool.berkeley.edu Subject: [i-announce@ischool] You're invited to next week's Brown Bag Seminar: A Reality Game to Cross Disciplines Don't miss the upcoming event at the UC Berkeley School of Information: Brown Bag Seminar: A Reality Game to Cross Disciplines … [View More]With Benjamin Stokes Wednesday, February 12, 2014, 12:10 pm - 1:00 pm 107 South Hall Educational and civic games are typically preparatory, teaching skills and information to be applied later. Yet the rise of reality gaming introduces a new possibility: that the game directly shapes real-world networks, even as it educates. Networks are a novel target for educational games, despite the vital importance of networks for educational attainment, securing jobs and even civic engagement. Benjamin Stokes investigates how digital media foster civic engagement, informal learning, and activism. He is currently studying how mobile media and videogames can advance social justice by bridging online and offline participation. Previously he co-founded Games for Change, the branch of the serious games movement focused on social issues and nonprofit organizations. Most recently, he was an education program officer at the MacArthur Foundation in their portfolio on Digital Media and Learning. Benjamin has also led the development of original digital media properties: at the educational nonprofit NetAid, his team created digital games and an activist training website that engaged more than 150,000 youth in fighting extreme poverty. Benjamin is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern California in the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
