Weekends at sudo room

by Juliana A

Is there anyone going on weekends at sudo room? I looked at the calendar and I dont see any event. I would like to visit sometimes but I dont have time to go on weekdays. If anyone with access is going, let me know if possible to coordinate my entrance. Possibly, I'd be open to host on some weekends. It's kinda sad to have the space closed when a bunch of people would have more availability on weekends. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com she/her

FPGA learning

by Larry Doolittle

Friends - People keep reacting positively when I suggest putting together an FPGA class. Angela, did you ever get something to work on the FOMU? David and I made some progress doing a TTL logic demo on March 2. We could try again this week. My schedule is pretty flexible. David, do you have plans to come in? Maybe Judy and/or Arik can join us. - Larry

This class positions motion as a continuation of that lineage — a space where typographic history, emerging technologies, and contemporary practice intersect. Students develop a grounded understanding of how motion principles evolve from tradition, and how they can be applied in today’s design landscape. ------------------------------ [image: Principles of Typeface Design] <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Principles of Typeface Design: Sketch to Vector <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> with Zrinka Buljubašić 9 online sessions Tuesdays, June 2–August 4 6:30–9:30PM ET <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Learn More and Register <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Ready to design a font but not sure where to start or already underway but aiming for better? For designers and type enthusiasts keen to delve into typeface creation, this course will enhance your understanding of letterforms, typefaces, and the significance of hands-on work. Learn to transform ideas into sketches, evaluate iterations, and transition from analog to digital, creating new type systems along the way. ------------------------------ [image: Coding agents] <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Designing with Coding Agents <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> with Romello Goodman 3 online sessions Tuesdays, June 9 to 23 6:30–8:30PM ET <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Learn More and Register <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Every tool has its own grain. A brush favors gestures, a grid favors order, and a coding agent favors conversation. Each changes what it means to author something. In this workshop, students use a coding agent as a creative collaborator to write JavaScript and p5.js sketches. Week one, you make a word move. Week two, you build a tool that manipulates letterforms. Week three, your body becomes the input. ------------------------------ [image: Precision Typography] <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Advanced Typography for Book Design <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> with Jesse Johanning 10 in-person sessions Wednesdays, June 10–August 12 6:30–9:30PM Learn More and Register <https://buttondown-0004.com/c/N2YzN2EwM2ItNmRhNi00ZGE2LWE5YzEtNDhhOTdjYzQzY…> Have you ever wondered why a paragraph you’ve laid out doesn’t look quite as good as in your favorite books?

Re: Cyberdecks trend

by Juliana A

Hey all, I got some messages sent directly to my email, not sure why not sent to the thread to keep conversation going, but anyways. They all mention using the old laptops' components that live at sudoroom instead of using raspberry pis. Although I believe that is: * A thoughtful option regarding upcycling what we already have * A great way to learn about computer parts and how to reuse them I also see some issues: * That requires a deeper confidence/knowledge that not everyone getting into cyberdecks rn will have. The beauty of a raspberry pi is to be accessible as a gateway to learn more complicated things. * Most tutorials I see on the internet about cyberdecks are using raspberry pi. And those are VERY didactic/straightforward. TBD if the ones with computer parts will be like that. Because that's how newbies learn new things now, unless we have a real workshop IRL about this. So I'd like us all to put ourselves in the shoes of those who are NOT familiar with hacking/making/hardware/cyberdecks (as we always should, IMHO), and think again how we can sponsor this.
