Learning how to learn / hacking learning and note taking subgroup at SudoRoom

by Romy Ilano

Speaking to folks at Noisebridge, but I'm thinking of starting a learning how to learn subgroup at SudoRoom. This would include topics such as: - Switching back to analog for notetaking and learning - Mixing analog notes and ebooks - doing digital detox on your laptops and phones and tablets so that they become learning devices instead of consumption devices - Creating a picture of new technologies like AI which seem to be constantly changing I'm not sure what a good time to meet for this would be... I'm guessing Tuesday? I am not sure I can come in this week though! I have job interviews. But I think cross meeting between SudoRoom, Noisebridge and other spaces is ideal! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Trump Satire

by Ira Brightman

*Hi All,* *I'm trying to hire someone to create a website where I can put up my recently-completed Trump satire -- updated for 2024. (And/or put it on Substack which I can't figure out how to do either.) I will offer it for free and ask for donations at the end. Happy to pay you whatever is required. Prefer a fellow Trump-hater (but what cognizant person isn't?).* *You can contact me at my more private email (preferred) IraBrightman900(a)yahoo.com <IraBrightman900(a)yahoo.com> or if you must by return email here. * *Below are reviews from the original work that was on Amazon (essentially the same but now updated and improved).* *Best,* *Ira Brightman* *Top reviews from the United States* * <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AGX7VTOEIXAJIIKT73XTFZSZPBU…>* *Roberta Spike* <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AGX7VTOEIXAJIIKT73XTFZSZPBU…> *5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read* <https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R7HPCM270AZ79/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw…> *Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2022* *Good for a laugh - but unfortunately too true! Ira really gets it!* *Michael Singer* *4.0 out of 5 stars Never too late* <https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3TOSTSNEYPY4O/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rv…> *Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2021* *This spoof of the Trump presidency is still a hysterical reminder of the danger that the former president posed, and that his surrogates are still out there. Though this book is very funny, it also points out that Trump really isn’t a laughing matter.* * Jennifer Sappington* *5.0 out of 5 stars Laughter really is the best medicine - thank you, Dr. Ira!* <https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RYU9ZU9Y4CO7W/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw…> *Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018* *There’s a lot of Trump humor out there, but Ira’s stands out because it’s clever, and unique (the “Meet [insert dictator/world leader]” sections were my favorite), and just a delight to read. Also, if you don’t laugh at Ira’s “suggestions” to Trump for cabinet members, it’s probably because you’re unconscious or wearing Q-anon pajamas. *

Japanese study on how analog. / handwriting learning trumps digital only learning and note taking

by Romy Ilano

https://www.pocketprep.com/posts/should-you-study-with-paper-or-screens/ Especially sobering since so many elementary and high schools are switching to stuff like Chrom Books and online distance learning instead of tactile learning with notecards and paper "Our take-home message is to use paper notebooks for information we need to learn or memorize.

SudoRoom report last week (April)

by Romy Ilano

Last week was pretty great! - I held down the fort and explored web-based virtual reality projects during the women and nonbinary hack and do whatever nights. In the middle of job searching so can't do much more but I plan a workshop on Blender + web virtual reality between all headsets. Tuesday hacker night Continues to be cool. I went and haven't had time to mess with the robot, but Jake is making progress. Had a dream of one day hooking up a virtual reality headset with a game controller to the robot so that people with a Quest or VisionPro could view the space with their headsets and interact with people. Maybe there's a cheaper open source way to do it with webcams. That would be cool! Might be a future project. More people coming to the space that I met at Augmented reality hackathons. It's cool! Hope we can get more artsy people in too. It's just great to be able to socialize and talk in the space. While we do talk start-up shop talk, it's nice to have a space where you're not pressured to monetize by VCs. The last sessions at SudoRoom have been fun, I had time to explore and hack. While it's nice to see presentations by outside people, it's nice to return to the roots of sudoroom, which is using it as a hackerspace. For orientation maybe we can have "here's how to contribute to the wiki" We had a nice session two weeks back where many people expressed interest in using Blender. So a "Blender for noobies" event. The MADE game museum in Old oakland has meetups wednesdays for digital creators. Would like to involve them with SudoRomo, especially around light projectors Just don't have time lately. Women who code has disbanded, which leaves a big spaces for people who want to meet. Fortunately and unfortunately most women's groups revolve around people who are looking for a job =P While I'm an idealist and want to have spaces for people who love programming for the fun of it (long term I think these people are also more employable) will probably plan some "get a job" leetcode heck meetups for the women and non binary night. Some not so fun stuff: There are a number of VC-funded "third space" "hackerspaces" popping up in San Francisco mostly. They are great, but I've noticed some of them are planting people in SudoRoom sometimes to get them to go to those for profit spaces. It's a strong hunch I believe to be true, but if you are doing so, please be transparent. Have had encounters with people who come to hackerspaces (they won't be named) using it as a dating service. FYI sudoroom and Noisebridge are not dating services for guys desperate to have a girlfriend. I have yet to meet a cool woman who comes to hackerspaces who is hot to date guys there. Dating apps are great for that kind of thing, and there are speed-dating meetups in the city. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
