If anyone didn't see, Sunday the 19th @4p it is!
I have a lot of writing ideas, such as chronicling Internet archaeology..or
anthropology. I've been doing a lot of the latter, and I'll tell you how
during the 19th's meetup. I'd also be interested in generating random
haikus. Who knows of a good haiku library? (Heard of the Haiku
Foundation<http://www.thehaikufoundation.org/mission/>?
Interesting late-night Internet find.)

Hi everyone,
This Saturday (5/11) at 2PM, come learn about Comics, Arduinos, 3D Printing
& More <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/ComicsAndMore> with Romy!
In a *NUTSHELL,* this is an old-fashioned comic book jam. We will take the
end result and print it out as a relief using the 3D Printer.
Here's the *PLAN*:
- Roll out a big roll of paper
- People draw their characters interacting (1 or more characters per
artist)
- We scan the drawing
- We fuse the scan onto a 3D Model using the customizable Lithopane
onThingiverse - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:74322
- Print out the lithopane on the 3D Printer
- Warning - this might take a while (at least 20-30 minutes?)
Come, draw, and invite your friends!
Best,
Marina
Hey All,
I want to invite you to our exquisite Sudo Hacky Happer hour tomorrow!
If you have super awesome video equipment or want to help set things up, be
sure to show up on the early side (6PMish..potluck food?) I am not
personally knowledgeable about the wiki, blog, or video stuff, so I'd
really appreciate your help!
For everyone else, festivities will start around 7PM, although we will
likely be sharing the common room at first. We'll be having group and
individual video entries, and I hope to get some nice screencapture
tutorials going, so bring your gear! And your booze! We will be
respectful of members who wish to not be filmed, but I hope we can all help
show off how ridiculously awesome our Sudo culture, have some tenlightening
and productive discussions, and witness various Sudo members degenerate
into friendly and respectful debauchery.
Yours in crime,
Sudo Sam
random idea: wouldn't it be neat if we could reclaim computer hardware from
local businesses (which typically come without hard drives) find a cheap
way to package a small linux distro onto a cheap drive (maybe even:
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SATA-Cables-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0078PVL8U).
then resell them as "sudobooks" for some ridiculously low price (25 bucks?)
to raise dollars for sudo?
This is your kind reminder that Bike Smut at Sudo Room is in 8 days!
The show should be amazing, assuming we all pull together. I sent out some
announcements but I will need your help reaching out to your friends. This
could be a really successful fundraiser for Sudo Room if we all take some
time to spread our radical network. This is the last time the Turning
Trixxx program and performances will be shared and it's not available
online!*

In a previous thread I asked: "Are we alone in the universe?" Not according
to all the wonderful responses we got! Come join your fellow wordy
humanoids on a fine *Sunday the 19th* afternoon at *4pm* and enjoy
gastrological delicacies from your and other star systems (Nothing too
fancy. OR don't bring anything at all if you prefer.). We will be making
good use of our internal universes in pondering the following action and
discussion items brought forth via the email thread (and any other
interesting thought that has since rocked your world):
– Poetry slams and talent showcases
– A writers’ collective website: LinguisticAlchemystic
– Sudo Radio broadcasts
– Sci-fi writers meetup
– Sudo Press: A self-publishing platform with graphic and editorial
support focusing on Hacktivism
– Book-binding/sewing, book-selling
– Algorithmic poetry meetup/workshop
– Twitter haikus
– User generated algorithm seeds *tear*
– Writers/Comic book artists collab
– Drop-in writing help workshop
– Screenwriters’/actors’ meetup
There is a yin and a yang to everything.
Here are a few examples of the "dark side" of reshaping language...
I've read a lot of history about the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the
Cambodian Khmer Rouge... these groups were very interested in reforming a
corrupt society, finding new ways of doing things. They are not shining
examples but I can say that their intentions started out pure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge_rule_of_Cambodia#Establishing_the_…
On the surface, society in Democratic Kampuchea was strictly
egalitarian<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarian>.
The Khmer language <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_language>, like many
in Southeast Asia, has a complex system of usages to define speakers' rank
and social status. These usages were abandoned. People were encouraged to
call each other "friend", or "comrade" (in Khmer, មិត្ដ mitt), and to avoid
traditional signs of deference such as bowing or folding the hands in
salutation.
Language was transformed in other ways. The Khmer Rouge invented new terms.
People were told they must "forge" (*lot dam*) a new revolutionary
character, that they were the "instruments" (*opokar*) of the Angkar, and
that nostalgia for pre-revolutionary times (*chheu satek arom*, or "memory
sickness") could result in their receiving Angkar's "invitation" to be
deindustrialised and to live in a concentration camp.
