2.13GHz Processor

A video examining the move to outlaw the drug salvia divinorum based on online videos. For more discussion of the basic question raised in this video, please see: http://druglaw.typepad.com/drug_law_blog/2008/03/salvia-four-sim.html

Repost: New Info : Shuttle Launch 03-12-2011 caught on video by accident.

My friend Mark informed me yesterday that this actually WAS a rocket as I vaguely suspected in the video at the end.

Mark Holmes: What you saw yesterday Bill was a Delta 4/NROL rocket- 27 ( classified spy satellite cargo directed for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office). But nevertheless it was still an awesome display...!!! I believe N.A.S.A. just rolled out the Space Shuttle Endeavour yesterday from the vehicle assembly building to launch pad 39A ...This mission (STS-134) is scheduled for April, 19th, at 7.48pm...

Micro Hydro Electric Power - Energy Alternatives

If you're looking to save electricity and live near flowing water you should check this out. Umpqua Survival makes a unit called The Clean Green Stream Machine.

It's basically an alternator that's turned by water from a stream and a series of pipes (to create water pressure).

Hooked to an inverter one of these units can output 1500 watts which can charge batteries and run a few lights at the same time. Hook 4 of them up and you can have 6000 watts which would probably be enough to work your water heater and your dryer at the same time. I may be exaggerating a bit. :-) but you get the point.

Check out the video. This dude is saving a boatload on eletricity with these water turbines and solar panels.

We should all be doing things like this to boycot the electric companies in my opinion. I'm saving up for my equipment now.

It's been a long time since I used this site but we're back. strangeandcool.net is no more so I am switching back to this platform for all my blogging. The layout will change. The look will change. The messages will change but the song remains the same. Feel free to post comments and no spamming please.
