People like to talk a lot and get excited..

Lately as a late bloomer I've been getting into the outdoors through snowboarding, surfing, and bicycling (skateboarding not as much lately). I'm interested in finding ways to bring that world in a unique way, they are cool but they're sort of bro-ified sometimes, maybe we can do new things with these cultures.

Bestest Most Current Things

• ProjectionMapping - thinking of doing light projection all around SudoRoom and combining this with augmented reality. Also adding games to the mix and bringing in more artists and game makers from around the SF Bay Area to sudoroom.

Past

• Animated Stuffed Animals that Move and Talk - Repurpose a bunch of stuffed animals that move and talk to greet people in the SudoRoom.
• My Little Polo Pony 3D printed sets of cute pretty polo ponies to better understand concepts of watching a polo game (marking, blocking moves) without having played it (it takes several years to even begin to play and horses are pretty scary)
• Fabric Electronic Talking Books
• WomenNonBinaryCoding
• Hack-o-mat
• Juggling Club

Movement - a group focused around transportation projects at SudoRoom. It can be cars, it can be bikes... yeah! Trains - because we need a wiki about trains

Philosophy

I go to hackerspaces to make things and hack. If I'm not hacking at a hackrrspace, I must ask myself, Why am I here?

Current Projects at SudoRoom

• Animated Stuffed Animals that Move and Talk - Repurpose a bunch of stuffed animals that move and talk to greet people in the SudoRoom.

Older Projects

• SudoKit Learning for everyone--not just kids but also old people, young people, even small animals!inspired by a cool collage teacher met at RPS Collective, the sudoroom hackers who like to teach, learning and animasl
• GameHacking
• Today_We_Learned - Oct 11, 2014 - Creating FUN Games with Open Source! Calendar link
• ProjectionMapping - toying with the idea of doing some projection mapping using combinations of sculptures, cheap projectors combined with expensive projectors and 3D models, mannequins and sculptures
• CircusArts - I'm starting a juggling group (self taught) and amateur circus arts group to the sudoroom and great omni. I don't have a lot of time but maybe we can make this happen!

Doge needs more projects!

SudoRoom: A Love Story (Game)

• SudoRoom: A Love Story a visual novel game about a person that is... you! who comes to SudoRoom and discovers all the neat things you can do. You eventually learn how to save the world too!
• ArtMakingParty event we put on after the Oakland First Friday
• Super Focus Club SudoRoom is a hackerspace, a place created for hacking. Lately it's gotten very tough for hackers to actually hack here -- we're getting pulled to do publicity for outside companies, social work, and more instead of actually hacking. Let's get back to the basics.

• HackDisability part of a greater cyborg human category for dealing with disabilities and aids such as crutches, coke bottle glasses, etc.
• Wallpaper
• SudoSquare
• DanceSound
• Beginner Arduino Projects at SudoRoom - on the Sudoroom github - please join in! https://github.com/sudoroom/Beginner-Arduino-Projects

I didn't study engineering at all. But during the MicroController Hack Night Hol and others helped me to get my basic FSR (force sensitive resistor) working. Every time I pressed the sensor with my fingers, the LED lit up. This can lead to all sorts of interesting projects!

The first time I came to SudoRoom I was warmly welcomed. I build my own Arduino and lit up the LED for the first time! It was a special moment

Sudo Room Characters (that is an ohm, not a lululemon logo. will change it =) )

Interests

I like to build things. I prefer hack nights and doing stuff to tech talks.

• beginning apprentice snowboarding and skateboarding, journeying by hanging out with various dysfunctional pugs

Sudo Room

Sudo Room again!

Random Stuff

• One of my friends Joe Reagle Wrote a nice book on collaboration in Wikipedia. He outlines a lot of interesting situations and ways people resolve conflict on Wikipedia. It might be useful to people in an open source hackerspace as well. "http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/"
• When I lived in Berlin I would often eat at Volkskuechen, which are these punk rock dinners that cost a $1. The emphasis was on making food, not buying it from a restaurant, or scavenging by dumpster diving. The food was usually better than what you got in restaurants. The focus was on creating cheap, healthy ways to eat food together. There were no book deals or bloggers or "thought leaders" people just did it http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuntenhaus_(Berlin)
• C-Base in berlin themes itself as a crashed spaceship. Maybe sudo room would be interested in creating some kind of grand narrative. http://www.c-base.org when I think of sudo i think of grumpy unix sysadmins who look like the comic books store guy from the simpsons. maybe it could be like elvis!
