301 who wants to lead the change?


Humpty Trumpty built some parts of a big wall.


Humpty Trumpty had a great fall.
All the wannabe kings soldiers and all the wannabe kings men,

Said "I'm getting the fuck out."

It's so weird how if you just flip his words 180 degrees, he tells the truth.

3. Bankrupt

Occasionally I get a big idea. We all do. Over the past few years, I've been collecting mine in a more organized way. A couple years ago, I put out a small book with 25 "billion dollar startup ideas." Since then, I've continued to collect ideas, for volume 2. 

The other morning I had an idea, so I talked it into my phone. Then yesterday, my phone served me up this article.

The noisemaker line was what caught my attention. Turns out this is just a normal delivery truck, but electric, with a noise that accompanies it's movement (and weirdly, it's "idling.") Still, great job of listening, goog!

Yikes.

This word has passed me by a few times, I finally looked it up. The livestreamer I watched inside the capitol used it. He suspected there were a few in the crowd, my guess is including him. 

From Greta Thurnberg:
Really, this could be about anything, but it's intended to be about damaging the environment.

And...
I hate to sound like I'm questioning our health response, but it really would be nice to have *some* evidence.

Still exploring the new brushes I found in Autodesk Sketchbook.

Spent some time playing with the "pastels."

Where to start? With a drip. Due to a recent large bill for two pieces of plastic pipe and a valve, I have become interested in learning more about pex plumbing. Like many things in the US, this more efficient way of doing things is having a slow takeoff.  Why? Because existing building codes, laws created by localities, have been slow to change, sticking with the tried and true rather than adapting to new technology. This is true on many fronts. After recently riding the train cross country, I arrived in the town I grew up in. Above is a bit of information from the town zoning laws, stating businesses are not allowed to have exterior displays of their products.  This runs counter to everything modern "new urban" planners have found: to create a vibrant retail presence, stores want to invite shoppers inside by displaying their goods outside. But really, it seems like everything is upside down. Above is a classic piec...

At top, a bicycle built for golf. Mid-drive, even. Kinda spendy at $7k, but this is golf. Apparently they're selling.  We're talking about Bikes and Batteries today. This is a, um, what was this?  Right, a swappable battery.  Sounds a lot like a dorado battery with a new design. Having uniform parts between different manufacturers will help us consumers. (Imagine if your car only worked with one brand of gasoline.) So this thinking is in the right direction-ish. Throw a golf bag holder on the front and they could charge more. ;) There's gold in them thar batteries. (Or at least some rare earth minerals.) The question is, how do we get them out, and then back in?  At least we can haul them about in this.  It's funny how some designs look bad while others look good. In my eye, that's a pretty good looking box for moving other boxes.  ...

469 who spiked the corona?

Omicron is here. In less than a month, it has gone from zero cases in the US, to 73% of cases as of this past weekend. At top is San Francisco, below is New York State. The good news is, if you're vaccinated, you might not get too sick. The bad news is, there's a pretty good chance we're all going to get sick in this one. Here's NYC, where you can see omicron is making the curve from March 2020 look small. Or else, lockdown. I'm not a doctor, or an expert. Here's what I've picked up about omicron: 1. It is more transmissible . At least twice as easily spread as the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. They say it's on the level of measles, the most easily spread virus we know. 2. It seems to have borrowed some tricks from the common cold. Literally, according to at least one report I've read, most of the spike protein mutations in Omicron match directly to the common cold, an...
