did u know the “cloud” is not actually a cloud but a data center?
did u know that neighborhoods surrounding data centers are largely low-income, minority neighborhoods?
did u know that these data centers consume so much energy that they can cause minor but frequent power outages to the surrounding neighborhoods?
have you ever heard of the concept of “digital hoarding”?
ponder this and other modern nightmares surrounded by a group of your closest strangers in a cool new hacker space so we can all do our best version of digital harm reduction- aka the sexiest sisyphean task of our times. the good news is that we can do it ~together~.
on fri, nov 14th come to Sandbox on the third floor of 483 moreland ave ne (same building as the liminal space collective) and stare at your phone and/or computer for 0-3 hours with a bunch of other people doing the same. you can complain the whole time if you want. you can ask other people what they do instead of using the same 3 passwords for everything. you can set up do not disturb profiles for every possible situation so that only the people who you want to reach you can. I will bring some snacks and you can too. you can also bring yr pets if they’re nice and well-behaved. oh and it’s free.
Come to Neuro Saloon at Sandbox, presented by our friends at Wavelet Labs.
A fun neuroscience discussion with a brief presentation. This month's topic is the Default Mode Network - a task-negative neural network associated with an open, wandering mind, a sense of self, and imagining the future. It is also the gateway to activate attentional and executive functioning networks.

EFGA Talk: Understanding the Georgia Public Service Commission
Oct 29, 2025 7:00 PM @ Sandbox
At a time when data centers are in the news, and models of cost sharing for their power requirements are up for debate, one state government agency holds a key position: The Georgia Public Service Commission. At the time of this presentation, an election will be under way to select two new members of the five-member commission. Understanding the background of this organization is key to making an informed decision.
