Something is happening, becoming…an awakening.
One of my Sugar Shack roomies and partners in multiple business endeavors, Dr. Ryan Wartena, recently whipped out a bad-ass, personal photovoltaic electricity system.
His brother, an equally talented artist/designer/photographer type posted a blog about it recently here.
Be on the look out for Ryan’s “Sol Blossom” at an event, website or maybe even retail store some time in the near future.
Peter Cullen not only narrated the voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers the cartoon and more recently with Michael Bay’s feature film, but also as the legendary and widely beloved Eeyore in Winnie-the-Pooh.
Just finished a paper with a topic on biomimicry for a sustainable future.
Why am I writing a paper on such a topic? And for that matter, why am I writing a paper at all, you might ask. Well why not? Even if I wasn’t back in school for the first time in over ten years, as a student at SMC, I think it still good practice for us all to exercise our minds in such a manner.
One of my classes is an introduction to programming, which spans a pretty wide range of computing elements, and quite frankly, has proven to be my hardest class…damned math. Anyway, we’re nearing the end of the semester quite quickly now with only a week and a half to go. Thankfully the professor offered up some bonus points with this optional project, in which we could select a topic of our choosing and write a 5-page minimum paper about it.
I’ve decided to post my first draft here in hopes of some critical feedback, I’d like to revisit it once the class is over and really run with it. I think it’s probably a little bit too general, short and well frankly…poorly researched; I should know since I only put about 10-hours or so all told, into researching and writing it.
Anyway, would love to get some feedback on it as I think it’s worth pursuing further. Also, as there were few real quality sources to draw from, I may have recycled too much from them at times. So, if anyone agrees with this and feels it’s too close to really consider viable content, please let me know immediately.
Worth taking the time to watch if you’re interested in biotechnology, biomimicry, sustainable design, etc:
