Man, I really envy companies that don't have, you know, manufacturing equipment.

Going Bedouin would be right up my alley if I was in a different line of work.

So busy I can't write much more.

Was writing an email and rambling, thought I'd repost:

I see a future of people who drop off the grid, roving the world with a miniature solar powered / high tech battery arrangement, stopping to grow crops of oilfruit during the growing season, satellite dishes on top of their RVs to connect to renegade servers. They will scavenge from unclaimed garbage dumps the resources they need to cad-form new parts. (Garbage dumps are the mineral mines of the 22nd century, every raw material you need has already been thrown away) - their children will all be home schooled, but behind their parent's backs they will be building global social networks based on networked remote games and festival/fair/market-like gatherings where they invent completely new sports.

There will be an artform of ecological recovery, where small groups take a destroyed niche and seed it with short-telomere bacteria that eat dioxin and pollutants, then die when they run out of their toxic food. Suddenly neighbors will find someone has reintroduced extinct species back into the brownfields. (A la the modern Chernyobyl wildlife boom- fastest evolution on the planet)

Bonus: cool mayan calendar stuff. The cycle, not the world, ends in 2012.


What a good year so far!

They have all abandoned me here.

It's the first really beautiful spring day, well before real Spring, but it might as well be. It's amazing outside. It's jug-of-wine-and-thou weather.

And all my employees have mysteriously left early. Hmmmmm....

Oh well. It's an awesome day anyway.
