I'm not really qualified, since I have almost no skills in electronics.Tho
I'm a very competent fabricator in terms of pure craft skills.
Some electronics ideas:
Bike lights of all kinds, general L.E.D. bling, tv-computer wireless
interfaces, TV-B-Gone <https://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_tvbg_main.php>...
Non-electronics ideas:
lock pick kits, homebrew bike fenders, kefir, kombucha, seed bombs

I suck at cleaning !!! But I helped out a few weeks ago: I found these things in the back. They are probably still there.
They look like they enable a lot of neat creativity if they get some love. Maybe in between all the beer and burritos or during that someone can find some time::
Two projector like things . Just imagine! Instant art installation. One has a bulb that is new but the piece is off. Could some one help?
Here's another projector thing a document camera. Another potential art installation/ political slogan/ projection with instructions on how to get to the nearest immigrant safety and rights shelter on some lonesome street corner in Berkeley
Here's a food mixer that could be used to make salads so people at sudoroom don't have to constantly eat out and waste money
After you fix it you could take the logo off, paint art on it. Put a big rant and political slogan about bringing down the polygyny oligarchy .. Yeah !

Tomorrow is MicroController hack night. I'm working on Lillypad Arduino
(wearable electronics)
It's nice, I was able to get more done in the past 2 days than I have in
the past few weeks... and with a full-time job too! It's weird. I guess I
was just very good at avoiding listening to people pitch stuff. It's does
wonders for productivity.
I'm not sure if I can be very helpful tomorrow, as I am in a making mood! I
am not going to be so interested in hearing about people's kickstarters but
it's all good.
I just want to give happy energy at making and there will be a project that
will lead to nice things.
Useful videos to watch. I like these because I actually do stuff seeing
these... they will not get you stuck in the "not doing" cycle of doom.
These are very relevant videos for beginners.
- Becky Stern was an NYU New Media Lab graduate - her embroidery +
arduino videos are very helpful
- http://blog.makezine.com/2008/04/21/lilypad-arduino-embroider/
- Leah Buchley came up with the Lilypad design - she is cool -
http://web.media.mit.edu/~leah/
Some parts of SudoRoom aren't quite prettily decorated with art. In the
long term future I would love to donate lace-dripped electronics and
embroidery to be part of useful things like the door project.
Sunday was a good day. Finally focused and actually worked on stuff /: wearable electronics. Just started! The first step
I used scraps from marinas old Halloween costume and borrowed one needles I think the sewing Crew left behind.
I used old thread left behind in the sewing room too.
For the embroidery I mostly faked my way through this.
Still figuring out the lilypad stuff. I avoided wasting my whole night looking at every other persons expensive fashion led project in the whole world
A guy from Portland came by who is visiting various hackerspaces. He was having a nice time here
I've been sidetracked and hijacked by a lot of people trying to get free PR for their projects
Thank you sudoroom !
Hi Matthew-
How many people at SudoRoom are in chronic econo-crunch or borderline
homeless?
How many of us are likely to fall for developer horse-puckey that these
little prison cells are "futuristic" and "high tech", considering that
the ones in San Francisco are designed to accommodate nearly-wall-sized
Telescreens?
Haven't we had numerous conversations including meetings, on the subject
of living arrangements and potential community developments?
How much of our listmail consists of two-word comments that would
ordinarily occur in a chat window or text message format? Personally I
find it inconvenient to have to keep deleting listmail threads
consisting of "I'm locked out," and "Coming" and "Thanks," and "Is
anyone in?" and "Yes," and suchlike, but I have no desire to tell others
what they should and shouldn't post on the list. It's not as if we're
being charged by the word, as with telegrams.
There's method to my madness. You don't have to trust me on that, and
you're welcome to not read anything I post, but at least I maintain
"subject header discipline" so you can spot the stuff you don't want to
read.
Finally, please respect my nym rights by not using names for me other
than the ones I use in my own postings. I don't go posting your PII
online, please don't post mine. BTW, that's not even remotely negotiable.
Peace-
-G.

Spilled a glass of water and I tried turning it off, letting it dry upside
down, but mouse and keyboard don't work, the screen flickers, and it keeps
turning itself on and off without my input.
Any help?
I tried opening the back of it, but don't have those tiny tools, any idea
where to get one? does sudoroom have any?
Thanks,
Diana
Hey all, we talked about Choose Your Own Adventures. Remember CYOA? Here's a link to someone who REALLY studied CYOA.

i remember when i was in undergrad in nyc in the mid 1990s and i had
friends at nyu film school. they didn't have fully digital video editing
back then.
it cost a lot of money to make a short film. I think some classmates of
hers were spending up to $10,000 on a film
i remember a similar situation for press, printing
the cost has gone down so much now. you can make a film for almost nothing;
even cartoons and animations
most of what you have to do is find focus and time.
that's always the hard part.
and making something that people actually find useful.
it's a lot of sh*twork and requires sacrifice planning and foresight
but the end result is worth it
