So a lot of things going on the last few weeks full of highlights and downs usual to this organic terrain unit.
Going to start out with some garden photos and progress update on the patio garden.
Looks like my hybrid NFT system is starting to get its start aside from various issues with water chemistry and well the rather precarious issue with my main reservoir depleting itself due to leaks (algae clogging the output) and the wicked Midwestern heat.

How wicked awesome fertilizer is made for next to nothing. ended up making about 4L of highly concentrated worm tea!
I am choosing to share this wish with the world and the universe.
My wish.
I wish to have the abundant tools, energy, supplies, and experience to end fear,hunger, indifference, violence and oppression in the world.
To build a world my ancestors and my children's children will find a great abundance of peace and joy in knowing a world without evil of there own freewill and free-agency.
A world were people use there free agency to contentiously and subconsciously make the world a better place.
To share abundance with family, friends and my global community.
I wish on February 28th 2014 to win the 1 million a year for a very long and productive life then pass it along to my offspring so they can take care of there own offspring.
So we can correct whats wrong on this world so we don't corrupt other worlds when we eventually go off into the heavens to colonize other worlds, or build new ones like ring-worlds, Dyson spheres, and digital ones.
I truly want to give a better world to the universe.
Yesterday I was tearing up the garage in order to find some bicycle parts for my ebike build when I found my fathers old Radio Shack experiment lab. I was not able to find the part for the bike I was originally looking for but I did find the electronics lab along with a much needed visor for my DOT approved motorcycle helmet Gotta think safety...
Here is my second circuit I assembled to see If I can drive two 555 IC's with separate variable resistors and control them separately. This is going to eventually build into either DC PWM speed controller for my bike or even cooler Ill eventually roll my own brainwave entertainment device aka analog bin-aural beat machine. I cant wait to chase that electro-etheogenic dream.
Fun times with dueling 555's
lights dimmed for full micro rave effect. Uhmph, uhmph, uhmph, da, da..
This circuit would have come in handy when I was working out of the last cube farm I was assigned. I had a dickens of a time with coworkers stealing cables and office supplies from me.
Might have also been cool to add a Wifi MAC proximity sensor, Time stamp and email/twitter cubicle violation with this information.
As an added feature you can throw in a relay to drive a car alarm siren or a pneumatic air horn.
I am starting to think I really need a Job. With all this idle time I have been watching a lot of documentaries about Nikola Tesla and some of the founding fathers of modern science.
I may be damning myself but felt inspired to pray today for inspiration and to unlock the flood gates of inspiration and or help me to put myself in a similar mindset of these great pioneers.
I guess you might say BE VERY FREAKING CAREFUL what you ask for as now I have strange headache and my eyeballs ache due to some ideas I have going on right now.
The first thing that I did today after the caffeine and nicotine started to kick in was to adapt part of a wire shelving unit my wife recently decommissioned. I had originally used it as a stop gap measure to keep the family cat from eating the fish in my beta aqua-ponics system. Today seeing the fish were being digested by the cat I figured ill strip some of the insulation and solder a single wire to the structure and ground it out through my multi-meter and then place it in front of various household electronic devices.
I really wasn't able to get and voltage readings by i was certainly able to get anywhere from .001 - .006 amps in front of my sharper image ionic breeze air purifier with each major crackling discharge of the unit. With that said its starting to get the gears going on how many different applications this can benefit such as medical sensory devices, spooky communications devices, and electric vehicles.
Take that a little further there are some very interesting things you can do with something as simple as carbon in a particular form called "Graphene". Graphene is a "new" amazing wonder material that can be made from burnt trash, graphite pencils applied to sticky tape, It can also be suspended in a ink like solution.
That ink like solution can be printed with minimal effort with common off the shelf components like the tons of ink jet printers thrown away every week by people not being able to afford a simple ink cartridge refill kit.
Graphene printed on fabric.
With that said why not simply purchase or roll there own graphene ink solution and start printing there own circuitry directly to a non-conductive medium comprised of either synthetic or for the bigger kick something biologically sustainable like cotton or preferably Hemp cloth?
There are countless applications for this technique. Particularly smart aerospace fabrics for adaptable smart aircraft wings and tails, spooky smart books, and wireless energy velomobile skins to keep down weight of having a load of SLA's or roasting ones flesh with a hint of lithium.
So today I got everything buttoned together on the basic ebike project of mine. Took it for a spin around the block with a full charge on my 36v 20Ah battery pack and about half way around in the 10 degree weather really started sapping my battery bank. Thankfully I was able to simply switch it into assist mode to get back to the apartment.
This kinda set off a brain storm, What do people do in cold weather to assist there EV setups? They either add insulation or heat. In this situation I think I might end up doing both to keep temperatures within operational parameters.
I give you the beta ubber cold weather ebike battery bag.
I absolutely cant wait to try this out tomorrow in the snow! And I am totally going to have to dig up my snorkel to reroute my hot breath through my clothing so my glasses and motorcycle helmet dont fog up. I got this idea from David Fiedler from the following about blog post. http://bicycling.about.com/od/howtoride/tp/fight_foggy_lenses.htm
Yet another example of horrible journalism and sensational knee jerk reaction our media and the war between the medical establishment and the illicit classification of time proven medicinal plants is going to eat us all alive like a giant blood soaked tumor.
A good Facebook friend of mine shared a article today regarding how authorities in the UK are trying to blame the "mysterious" death of young "healthy" single mother of two on medicinal Marijuana.
Please feel free to read the above source article, It makes for a interesting reading experience and exercise in how to spot a big steaming pile of shit passed of as British journalism.
After reading the article in full there are a few questions that send up red flags.
#1. Hearsay going on from the victims family and the paternal family side.
#2. Aspect that there are quite possibly some international interests involved here particularly with "an child abroad".
#3. The deceased was under the medical care and prescription of other "unknown drugs" We dont know what perscriptions exactly she was on that may have had a interaction with body causing buildup of said "toxicity" or may have contributed to circulatory issues.
#4. Why are they labeling this as a "Cannabis toxicity death"
Oh well, I guess it brings up the old addage of not taking anything you find on the internet so seriously let alone whole heartedly gobble down any news as 100% truth.
The thing is everyone and I mean everyone has there own best interests at stake.
I was fortunate to grow up in a loving service oriented household. I wish I could give that same opportunity to everyone as it just might solve a lot of this worlds problems. From self centered fearful actions like War, famine, intolerance, and idle hands. War can be avoided, those in need can be feed by those with more then enough, and if people had something to be passionately as well positively motivated for the world might just end up being a better place to leave to the following generations. I do not intend to throw a negative light on the current world but this is one of the primary reasons why i have avoided having a family and developing my career until now.
So its been a few years in the making. I've owned this 1kW ebike kit for probably three years, the last time I have done any serious work with it was when I was living in Ralston Nebraska and that was with it installed on my dirty grease and sand abused Trek bicycle. At the time there were several things going wrong with that setup namely the years of abuse I logged on that frame as a gasoline powered outside only bike.
Flash forward about three years with about 30 monthes of confidence boosting regular employment supporting external RAID devices I thought maybe I should just go for it.
Now that I have been unemployed for about six month's I started running out of projects to work on as well funds I thought maybe I needed to see what I had squireled away in the rainy mad scientist lab. Low and behold I was able to find all the parts needed to get this up and running.
Going to be doing some millage to watt testing manually with a multimeter this next week to see what kind of performance I can get from my rebuilt 36v 20Ah battery pack (3x 12v 20Ah gel cells).
It would be a barrel full of monkeys to eventually investigate alternative and renewable on the go charging solutions and figure out some way to go about it open source. I particularly take a fancy towards solar and possibly augmenting it with wind power.
Regarding adding solar panels to the bike I might be best looking into something I could roll up and pack away in a saddle bag like some of the options PowerFilm has to offer.
Now regarding wind power I could purchase a fiber glass telescoping flag mast like below and do a vertical high visibility fabric like day glow orange/yellow kevlar for the flexible blades.
Please feel free to share your memory's of some of the more Awkward moments you experienced with STNG or with the more general Science fiction multi-verse.
So it looks like one door closed and another one may be opening.
Thankfully I am going to take this a positive learning lesson.
#1. Do not stray from your personal and ethical convictions. Staying true to your beliefs and the pursuit of joy, peace and freedom should be one of the most important things.
Freedom as in financial liberty, personal ownership of ones computer, devices, speech, and intellectual pursuits.
#2. Do not let anyone tear you down and render your dreams to shreds of tissue paper.
#3. We all have an amazing power to overcome all odds and oppression. What we need to do at this time is realize this and send as much positive energy and support to those in need.
#4. Respect. We all need to learn the basic principle of respect as in the line of statement #2 above. Just because some mindless robot is dictating verbatim from arcane books and quack science book you still need to garnish them with basic human respect. these robots thrive on fear and confusion. Ripping them a new one or attempting to correct them is pointless and might be simply throwing gasoline on there little book/witch/cross burning party.
Okay people... A little late to the game but it appears there was a awesome company called InPhase 2000 - Oct 17th 2011(spun from the finest pork loins of Ma Bell) there assets were sold to a company called Akonia Holographics, LLC around August 10, 2012. My question is Akonia H. When are you going to step to the plate with a commercially available product? I will do anything to have the honor of being a beta tester for your device pretty please?
So I remember years ago in the early to middle 1990's being wowed by a episode of beyond 2000 regarding a new concept of holographic data storage. The bastards even had a working prototype that they demonstrated a read and write cycle sample video of the reporter.
Flash forward about two decades later, Why are we still using magnetic media let alone traditional transistor based logic circuitry? Were oh were is our photon gates, our childrens educational toys featuring lego like laser mazes that one can use to etch there own holograms or setup basic optical computers?
I mean for Christs sake people think of the idea of having storage and processing power all in one small translucent package. As it stands with current computer technology there is a serious bottle neck between peoples raw data and there processor. IF we can simply merge processing and data storage with the redundancy of holographic storage we can literally jump light years in the field of AI and quite possibly the bounds of space and time by unfolding the secrets of the universe.
I am thankful for my immediate and extended family and friends. You have absolutely no idea how much you all mean to me regarding your emotional, spiritual and intellectual support that you enrich my life with.
I am also extremely thankful for all the good times along with the hardships life offers us. For the sweet little things in life to the contrast the hardships give to us by helping us truly realize how sacred the good times can be for us all.
I am ecstatic for all the opportunity this year will afford my wife and I. In particular the earth centered experiences and the reliability of discovering ancient wisdom of our for-fathers and mothers along with building onto this amazing foundation of sustainable life practices.
Cheers to the brave new world we are creating day by day by planting the seeds of peace, love, respect and light. May you germinate in the fertile soils of the human spirit.
So apparently per 64 year old Joe Stanley of W. Virginia we have been dumping the highly toxic chemical 4-methylcyclohexane methanol for decades into tapped out mines and unlined slurry ponds. With that said he states he has not drank local water sources for years.
So my question is regarding the current and very real threat our water works are doing is why the hell did one of Virginia largest water treatment plants was storing a 48,000 gallon tank of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol?
What in gods name possessed West Virginia American Water to store this chemical on there property to begin with?
I do not intend at all to sound like one of those batshit aluminum foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists but how can a business or let alone any competent *responsible adult do something this hair brained unless they were planning on eventually allowing the chemical to leach out?
It all simply sounds way to convenient the last few years of events like nuclear meltdowns, chemical spills and poisoning of our food sources either at the point of agriculture or in the processing plants
(pesticides/processed food "preservatives","food like products") . It all seems like there is a very real threat to our communities from all links of the government industrial complex chain of command.
So a lot of things going on the last few weeks full of highlights and downs usual to this organic terrain unit.
