Hi guys! So I just got into oakland and was treated with a big bag of trash outside the doorway. Excellent! Given the previous email I sent, a great time to test the theory. So going through it made this AWESOME thing, which is a miniature greenhouse (it's there, plant something in it) and gonna be sweet if hemp goes in. Do you think it's a good idea, that we could when we have a party have an "afterparty" in the morning where we put on a bunch of music and hack stuff or upcycle it, recycle it, and see how little we can get the stuff reduced to? (there's really not any such thing as trash (except WalMart), think cardboard, plastic bag, plastic, metal, aluminum, etC!) re negative value, some guy I guess actually got pretty emotional about it. So I hacked his message into the meme. <3 http://twitpic.com/dbh9zy So enjoy, and here's a video. Because I'm at the sudo room and can't get a working wifi+ sound (can we.. nvm), you don't get the one with nudity in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcaGJ94HyYc -- Eddie Che https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:EM_Che

Our Time Lapse prototype

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Hey all, There was a link sent to the Nerds for Nature email list about using community photographs to collect data for natural spaces, parks, etc. You set up a single station with a guide for your camera, let folks take photographs with any device, gather them up, then use a photo stitcher to put together a timelapse. I think this is an excellent way to document moments at sudo negotiated by the consent of individuals and through human action, rather than a webcam and automated constant stream. Please leave the pedestal in its current position, there is tape on the floor so you can replace it if necessary. Thanks! // Matt

Dumpster diving opportunity

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, Not to add to the clutter at sudoroom, but I'd just like to point out that the big apartment building in Alameda that I've been living in will be closing down this weekend, and there might be some goodies to be found for th eenterprising dumpster diver. There's at least another dozen households that will need to move out during these last few days, and the recycling containers around the back are already overflowing. There's a set of nice filing cabinets sitting near the trash, and one of the recycling containers seems to have some chairs in it as well. As these last stragglers move out (I hear they've got all three elevators scheduled for moving companies from now until Saturday), I would expect a lot more stuff to appear. Might be worth keeping an eye on... Marina View Towers, 1100 Pacific Marina, Alameda<https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Marina+View+Towers,+1100+Pacific+Marina,+Ala…> Trash and recycling containers are around the back of the building and are unlocked. There is a security car that does the rounds very sporadically. Good hunting! Patrik

problem/solution

by rusty lindgren

Hey Guys, I feel like we have a problem and I want to put out there, along with what I think is a really reasonable and well thought out solution. *Problem: * In my opinion there is way too much stuff at SudoRoom, and it's just unfocused and messy. I think it's a roadblock to membership. We aren't equipped to deal with this much stuff, and we don't have room for people to be in the space. *Solution(s): * * * One solution is to have a party where we donate, recycle, and throw out things we don't need, in order to make room for a new design of the space that accomodates more members and makes the space more usable. As part of that we could hand out green stickers to put on things we want to keep, and if people put stickers on things, then we can keep them. We could also hand out a limited amount of red stickers of things that people want to see leave the space, and we could bring up those items at a meeting. We could pool resources to pay for a dumpster, and uhaul truck. Obviously, throwing things away would be a last resort, and donating would be preferred. I'm open to other solutions, but this is where I have gotten with other members so far. Fire away! Rusty
