> Information Design
> If you go to Maker Faire, I would
<strong>strongly</strong> recommend
> seeing Megan Prelinger speak about her new book: "From the Electron to the
> Solar System, an Art History of Electronics". She has a great mind, and
> pulled from a lot of rare resources you would only find at the Prelinger
> Library. If you mention that you are a member of Sudo Room, she will be
> thrilled. ;]
> About the Prelinger Library: She and her
husband (Rick Prelinger, the film
> archivist) founded it. It is insane. They specifically seek rare books and
> ephemera (maps, postcards, zines,...), on topics range from utopianism and
> anarchism to land management and human geography. They are also on the
> light side of the IP/open knowledge debate (they go out of their way to
> note that their library is "appropriation-friendly").
> They're very interesting people to meet
if you haven't already, and would
> be happy to meet you during library open hours, which are Wednesdays 1-8p
> at Rm. #215, 301 8th Street, SF. More info at <
