Bin-aural beats My personal rocket ship.

I cant begin to expound on how exactly ingrained I have made Binaural brain wave music in my life.

It has taken me to some amazing places and or helped align certain mental images I would not have easily come about. Media like this is absolutely amazing, It can take me from the deepest of emotional pits to the furthest nebula imaginable.

One moment I am comfortably in my bed the next I am remotely viewing someplace I have never been neither should have any knowledge of.

With that said All Aboard!

Aqua-ponic smorgasbord update

Got some new pictures and further updates regarding my little vertical experiment.

The fish are dead, they died about three months into the experiment. I guess that is what i get for buying my livestock from wally world.

With that said i believe it had to do something along the line of not having enough plant life to clean  the water and or an absolute nitrate cycle collapse No one ever said getting the hang of building your own eco-systems was going to be easy.


You might wonder what I am doing currently for nutrients... Four words, Alaskan Fish Emulsion Fertilizer.  I can begin to expound on the wonders of this brown brackish goop, So far I have wicked root mass and massive vegetation in just a few weeks.  

Here are some glory shots.

 

Busy, Busy, Busy as a aquaponic freak.

Started a few weeks ago with my home built Aqua-ponic system.

It first started with in-door system rocking two gold fish and a vermiculite bio-filter.

 Here we have a up-close action shot of some seriously happy Gold Fish.

Start of a wicked cool outdoor NFT salad garden.

Next pay-day will be purchasing some gutters, up-cycled pallets to non-destructively mount them to the second story balcony railing. and a secondary swap/duckweed nitrate filter before returning to the main bio-reactor. 

Sustainable Nebraska.

I had another interesting vision this evening. This vision involved Creating jobs, occupational training, and Locally produced sustainable food sources.
 #1. You get a few sponsors together with the same vision.

 #2. You purchase or rent some land close to some local Shelters. 

#3. Setup some green houses with up-cycled Aqua-ponics.

 #4. Hire some help from the local shelters to work the system.

 #5. When the system becomes sustainable Start up another co-op in another part of town or in another local city so it just starts growing as a movement.

wow

Universe brings large HDTV to my doorstep.

So i came home after a long day of work on this Monday and found someone had thrown out a 50" HDTV.

Curious mind and all snipes it up. I plug it in and their is a loud whirling sound like a fat woman and a Hitachi magic wand. The logic board tries to power up three times with this horrible sound, motherboard posts three blinking lights on front power switch.


Ended up sleeping on the project, came back the next day popped the rear and the bulb looks practically brand new. Zero ohms on the bulb leads "This is a mercury arch lamp" so a zero ohm reading is good!

power board is in range, ballast is good, DMD looks fine, the sound leads to speculative bad color wheel bearings per userCharlieBrowns flow chart.

Took a look around the internets a replacement CW will run me about $100 to $150 just for the L3 Chassis module

You Tube user "Hexagontaginal" video guide bellow makes it look rather easy job to do. I have built RedHat servers more difficult.

Update 03/28/2012...

Dropped by a local TV repair shack SOS TV Repair shop after speaking with with a Scott we were able to locate a replacement color wheel. about 2 hours of work i had the beast up and running with crystal clear menu's.

Next step is figuring out why input video is garbled.

Their is this Youtube video by "TheXboxguy269" About reflowing GPU for xbox360 units. Its a similar theory. without all the crazy specialty equipment, might be cool to have all the proper gear but seriously how often am i going to need something like it Microsoft will not be in console video game market for much longer. :)

Federal Sanctioned HEMP production. Circa WWII time frame.

Their was a time our own US Federal government sanctioned the manufacturing, sale and usage of Cannabis/Hemp. Particularly in times of world war.



REEFER MADNESS.





Please US Government, explain your mixed messages concerning Hemp?
