Great speech on the making of Raspberry Pi
A terrific PopTech speech by Eben Upton, who started the Rasberry Pi foundation, on the lessons learned in creating what turned out to be a fantastically successful $35 computer.
“I remember sitting down with my wife for dinner...and we had this sudden, appalling realization that we had promised 600,000 people that we would build them a $25 dollar computer.”
What's clear is that he intended it to be like the BBC micro, a computer designed to be programmed. As such it's optimized for multimedia and outputting to a monitor. Unlike Arduino, which is optimized for I/O and interfacing with physical stuff (lots of analog and digital/PWM inputs and outputs), Raspberry Pi seems to be more oriented towards graphics.
Some good lessons on resilience, too. Some things didn't work, others took longer than expected and with great promise comes great expectations and no small number of critics. They just kept improving, adapting, learning and powering through. Inspiring.

Big Oil Is Not So Big on Energy Research
In 2008, the private sector spent about $232 billion on research and
development in the United States, dwarfing the modest $60 billion of
public funds used for private R&D in the same year, according to the
National Science Foundation’s Business R&D and Innovation Survey.
The automobile industry spent an impressive $3 billion pursuing fuel
efficiency, electric vehicles and alternatives to the combustion engine.
Similarly, the semiconductor industry spent $3 billion on energy
R&D focused on improving the energy efficiency of microprocessors
and developing more powerful solar cells.
By contrast, the petroleum, coal and mining industries spent an
underwhelming $1.9 billion collectively on energy R&D in 2008.

Amerikāņu sapnis, Banku sistēma un Rotšildu sazvērestība
Filmiņa par ”Amerikāņu sapni”, to, kā darbojas ASV banku sistēma un teoriju, ka to pārvalda Rotšildu ģimene. Ar subtitriem latviešu valodā.
Protams, šīs filmiņas patiesība vairākās
epizodēs ir apšaubāma, tomēr tā diezgan interesanti apstāsta to, kas ir
nauda, kā tā radusies, kā darbojas banku sistēma un kas izraisa kredītu
krīzi un valsts parādu.
Filmiņa ietver pat Kenedija slepkavības
sazvērestības teoriju, lai gan tā ir tik pat ticama, vai neticama, kā
visas pārējās 1000 teorijas par šo tēmu.
Filmiņā minētās personas ir īstas,
tomēr, pēc wiki ierakstiem var saprast, ka Lindons Džonsons tomēr
neatcēla Kenedija rīkojumu11110. Kā arī, cik es lasot esmu sapratis,
filmā ietvertais Kenedija citāts par sazvērestību ir vairāk domāts
auksta kara un komunistu sakarā.

Radiance (Radiant Energy)
"Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited
quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil,
gas, or any other of the common fuels."
-- Nikola Tesla
"In that very moment, when free energy will be given away to Humanity,
it will not only be meant to use as an absolutely free, environment
friendly, perpetual workin energy to use in each and every industry,
transportation, or private homes, but much more chains of Humanity will
be broken FOREVER. A New Era of Freedom, Friendship, Understanding and
Love will rule, opening a New Golden Age for people of the Earth and
beyond..."
--Nikola Tesla
"Free energy will promulgate a forward leap in human progress akin to the discovery of fire. It will bring the dawn of an entirely new civilization -- one based on freedom and abundance."
--Nikola Tesla
"Free energy will promulgate a forward leap in human progress akin to the discovery of fire. It will bring the dawn of an entirely new civilization -- one based on freedom and abundance."

Radiance has always been present in every single part of our
Universe...she has contributed to formations of plane...ts and galaxies
for Millenniums keeping our cosmos in an eternal balance...
She lives inside of every living being...in every cell inside our bodies...in our vast Eco systems..in our oceans and skies...She has kept the rocks atomic formations movements in a consistent rhythm, as they has 'denied' the existence of a motion perpetual machine, however it has existed for thousands of years...is the Infinite energy..
How could we ever deny or hide her existence?..if thanks to Her we are all alive, breathing, pulsating,..Our Sun's electromagnetic heart, pumps at her oscillation rates...synchronized with our cardio rhythms...
One night,in the dawn of the 20th Century, beams of her rays were directed to an specific point of Earth, and illuminated the nights of a scientist called Nikola... fascinated him with such beauty and brightness, so many warm vibrations, such a lovely dance...yet so fragile, so naive...He wanted to show her to the entire world, proud of his discovery...but the greed and ambitious powers of darkness, frustrated his humanitarian desires, condemning her to an indefinite punishment in the complete isolation of a cold Federal high security prison...Not a word was to be said about her existence, punishable even with death sentence.
Science has contributed to enforce the denial of her existence for over a Century now...
Why so much obsession to hide such a beautiful creature of our Universe?
Just because She is free and limitless, has no borders, no frontiers...can not be bought out with any "Legal Tender Notes"...and no specific "Social Classes" to satisfy, but everyone without distinction in our planet...free to dance and illuminate endlessly with her light and glow like a shining star just descended to Earth...always wrapped around in a silky and transparent dress, garnished with star dust and the brightest rays from the infinite deep space...
But Her mass-less body has the ability to trespass solid concrete walls...steel doors, immerse in the deepest ocean waters or fly through our blue skies...
She has visited many lucky inventors and scientists labs through our history...and all of them have tried to broadcast her to the world, but their attempts were also frustrated, some were assassinated while some lucky ones were just silenced through fear...and pre conceived Secrecy Act Laws...after Governments showed "Interests" to get her back to prison...
But now, this year 2012 she has come back again...and this time we would not allow anyone to take her away ever again!!...she will stay with all of Us for ever, and the dawn of a Golden Era will start for all humanity.

Spirit Science 1 - Thoughts (Revised)
Thoughts, Emotions, and the power that they bestow upon you. Or rather,
how you can empower yourself to live in the moment by controlling your
thoughts and emotions, and guiding yourself the way that you want to be
guided, rather than allowing modern society to tell you how to feel and
what to think. Just as you create your own reality, we are also
co-creating our realities together. We are a collective! As a community,
a city, a country, and a species, we decide where we want to go and how
we want to flow. It is up to us to decide what happens next in the epic
tale that is the human race, but change has to start from an individual
level.

Malte Spitz: Your phone company is watching
http://www.ted.com
What kind of data is your cell phone company collecting? Malte Spitz
wasn't too worried when he asked his operator in Germany to share
information stored about him. Multiple unanswered requests and a lawsuit
later, Spitz received 35,830 lines of code -- a detailed, nearly
minute-by-minute account of half a year of his life.
Converting Your Car To An Electric Vehicle
Gasoline-powered cars. They are perhaps the most inefficient device
that many of us use daily. We really should all be driving electric
vehicles (or none at all see this post). The internal combustion engine is inefficient in term of pollution, gas costs and maintenance costs (this page
explains why electric cars are 90% cleaner than gas-powered cars). But,
as you may have heard, there are no electric vehicles available today
that resemble conventional cars or trucks. Companies like Phoenix Motorcars, Tesla Motors, Commuter Cars and Miles Automotive Group and ZAP
are coming close, but you still can't plunk down some cash and buy an
electric car from them today. The only type of electric cars that can be
purchased are NEVs (Neighbor Electric Vehicles), which usually have a
top speed of about 25 MPH. But wait -- there are still a couple ways to
acquire a working electric car right now. One option is to buy a used
vehicle that somebody else has converted to an electric vehicle. You can
search for use electric vehicles on sites like Craig's List, eBay, or EVFinder. For more advice on buying an used electric car, I would refer you to Shari Prange's recent article "Finding and Buying A Used Electric Vehicle" (PDF FIle) in Home Power Magazine No 119.
But
these used electric cars are certainly limited in their availability,
especially if you don't live on the West Coast. So may wish to take a
plunge and do an electric conversion yourself.
Basically, electric
conversion involves removing the entire internal combustion engine from
a vehicle, installing an electric motor in its place, and also adding a
large bank of batteries. A conversion will cost you about $6000 in
parts, and about $1000-$3000 for batteries and installation. But, for
all this expense, you'll get a zero-emissions vehicle that costs only a
few cents per mile to run. Your electric car will also be more reliable
and require much less maintenance that a conventional one. Remember that
gas-powered cars cost the owner about $1800 per year on average for
fuel costs alone, and there is the addition expense of engine
maintenance and oil changes. Electric cars have a better resell values,
and are more reliable overall because there are fewer parts to fail.
Most of the components are solid-state electronics with no moving parts.
The engine of an electric car has a virtually infinite lifespan — the
components will probably outlast the chassis. The only real expense is
the batteries, which will need to be replaced about every 3 to 4 years.
You
can expect your converted vehicle to have a range of 60-80 miles, a top
speed of 50-90 MPH, and good acceleration capabilities. It will take
about 6-12 hours to completely recharge the car. All of these factors
will vary, based on the weight of the car you convert, and the type of
engine and batteries you install.
So, what type of car is the best
candidate for an electric conversion? A light car (2000-3000 lbs. curb
weight) with a manual transmission.You want a light vehicle, because
heavy ones severely restrict the range of the electric engine. Automatic
transmissions use up too much power because they require the engine to
be constantly idling. As far as body style, you need something that can
hold all the batteries you'll be installing. Michael Brown, author of Convert It,
recommends a car that is light and roomy like a Rabbit, Civic, Sentra,
Escort or light pickup truck. The ideal donor car has a good body and
interior, sound transmission, but a dead engine.
For electric
cars, the best type of driving is an area that is not too hilly and not
too cold. Hills obviously put a larger burden on the engine, and thus
reduce its range.Cold weather will also reduce performance, but there
are many happy electric car owners who live in Canada and Alaska.
There
are two types of electric conversions kits available: custom kits that
are tailored to a specific vehicles models, and universal kits that can
be installed in a variety of vehicles. Universal kits contain all the
essential drive-system components but rely on the builder to create
custom parts like battery racks or boxes. Custom kits include the entire
drive system and battery racks and boxes, customized to suit a
particular model. For example, a company called Canadian Electric Vehicles provides kits to convert Chevy S10 trucks, Geo Metros and Dodge Neons. Another company, Electro Automotive, provides kits to convert Volkswagen Rabbits and Porsche 914s.
Here's a brief history of electric cars.
Here are some online forums about electric conversions: Electric Vehicle Discussion List, DIY Electric Car Forums, EVWorld.

What we know about the Moon?
The film that challenges anyone to prove that the Moon is grey. This
film proves the Moon is a full color celestial body and that there are
incredible structures and towers built by "someone" that has the ability
to build a structure ten miles wide and six miles high within an eight
month period. The evidence is presented and you will be amazed at what
you will see in this film.
