Posting this message from a portable electronic device, an order of magnitude more powerful than the unix machines I explored and learned on.

So if this is the start, where do we want it to head? I’m watching time shifted tv. A little bit more of a connection and perhaps we could all produce a bit more useful content. Produce something that might make life a bit better, or easier, or managed, or magical. We need to start to really leverage our improvements to produce more improvements faster. Perhaps then we’ll get back to focusing on the basics which benefit us all.

So we lost power, then had a tree fall on our house. Well, two trees,… one on each side. Roof damage, window damage, but no one was hurt and the house took the load well. Still dealing with cleanup, insurance, repairs, and the aftermath of 5 days without power.


Still gathering thoughts on what I/we learned and reinforced during the experience. Primarily, if you live in the woods have a generator and the means to hook it up to a heat source (primary or secondary). Have plenty of supplies and be able to eat out of your cupboard for at least a few days without much more than hot water.


Finally, know someone who has power where you can take hot showers, being clean helps with sanity, and sanity is a nice thing.

The Old Farm House

It needs some work and some TLC, but we have a new home in NH. Just need to finish moving over stuff and we can get to work on fixing and documenting. This post is mainly for those that aren’t following me on facebook.

Except that it won’t be funny: what is crashing now is our life support system: all the systems and institutions that are keeping us alive. And so I don’t recommend passively standing around and watching the show unless you happen to have a death wish.”

The future is out there, and we’ll get there by doing what we always have, creating better options that makes us question not only how we have spent our past, but how we want to spend out future.
