I tried talking with my representative about this two weeks ago, to not
much success. Please include me in this effort, and 3d printing is very
important to the retro computing community, as well as the right to
repair efforts.

Welcome to our wonderful SudoCat!

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sudocat-fa00769b537e4b1790b473efd72ab139

I "sketched" him about 10 years ago but used generative AI to rig and make
a 3D model. I want to share him and show him walking around the space...
more to come

I vibe coded this first... have an open repo i will add to sudoroom as
well. but it's basically got built first using data from oakData then made
a tutorial series with claude

Here's the website

https://romyilano.github.io/SudoRoomOaklandData/

I guess is this ok to post on the blog? it hink it's kosher


https://romyilano.github.io/SudoRoomOaklandData/tutorial/index.html

I'll rif fon this but i really don't feel like learning web JS the normal
way...
