This week meeting at Tech Liminal again?</div><div><br></div><div>I have never introduced myself on the list either till now, I'm Tracy Jacobs, kinetic sculptor/ geek/dogwalker, I am working on making a kinetic sculpture kit with an animal theme, that is very accessible to girls. I have a sculpture mfa specializing in metals and casting, but got interested in electronics and kinetics about six years ago. I learned all the engineering I know from the Crucible kinetics department and the internet. I have been a member of Noisebridge previously, and also Ace Monster Toys.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I am psyched that you all want to create a hackerspace community in my neighborhood, I live near Lake Merrit/Glenview. I approve 100% of the space that has been rented after seeing it last week, I think the location is phenomenal, the space that can be used is substantial, the rent will be minimal when divided up into 20+ members, and I think if we can have a few events/classes there a lot more people will get interested in participating. </div><div><br></div><div>I like the orientation of the people in your group, and hope that I can be of some contribution. I can see that you're all really interested in setting a model for a more sustainable economy and lifestyle, and I think that's great.</div><div><br></div><div>I am interested in learning more about Cad software, to improve my mechanical abilities at the moment. Can anyone teach that or is anyone else interested in studying together?</div><div><br></div><div>Things I am capable of teaching are: </div><div><br></div><div>Sculpture and basic design principles/processes</div><div>moldmaking</div><div>microcontrollers for kinetic sculpture</div><div>welding</div><div><br></div><div>Let me know if there is any interest in that.</div><div><br></div><div>I would also like to host a meeting of the SfMicrocontroller club there at the new space.</div><div><br></div><div>Nice meeting you all, see you again soon!</div><div><br></div><div>Tracy<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><br><div><div>On Jun 10, 2012, at 7:17 PM, Eddan Katz wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> confirmation. you're finally on the mailing list!<br> which actually reminds me that I had wanted to suggest a round of introductions for folks on the list, as we do at Wed. meetings. it would be great to hear from people who haven't been able to come to an RL event.<br> <br> having suggested it, let me throw my hat in the ring to start:<br> <br> i'm the self-appointed exchequer of sudo room. what that means is still unclear, but no one has yet said anything about this assertion of authority. <br> i follow internet and society issues generally, and have been involved in policy advocacy in particular. i'm most interested in social movement brokerage, which i think is a way of hacking community values.<br> i'm excited to be a part of the coming together of sudo room, in part to see how the issues play out on a local level. i also think this is a great group of people. and i'm glad to be within biking distance - i live in the grand lake area.<br> i have a daughter Eva, who is almost 4 years old (jul. 29) and my wife Julie is an epidemiologist.<br> my favorite movie is 'until the end of the world,' i've been listening to a lot of 'penguin cafe orchestra' lately, and thinking about digital currency.<br> <br> <br> On 6/9/12 5:48 PM, Timon of Proximal Development wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:CAB+yqoO=2DOLoO1H7L9teNoG4CxAZLFweZ0WTts4ib6wFvkWdA@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">Self-naming join-message body. <br> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <br> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________
