The books I got from Memphis Library (Ben Hooks), the 500 section (574) on the 3rd floor.
It will be good to reach out to some of the Memphis Chapter folks and see what I get back. Have to think through what "reaching out" means.

Modules on Virtual Memory | Making the Most of Ancestral Intelligence

This project was conceived to better understand the future of the internet, given Generative AI and the burgeoning population. This ultimately has to do with the increasingly abundant amount of information, and our increasing collective ability to remember a lot of what has happened, and recollect what has happened; all of us, Generative AI included. I would like that we amended our current semantics to Generative Ancestral Intelligence , as I think that this gives a clearer idea for the matter of discussion. Below find the modules for this iterative journey through the expanse of The Mind.  The Mind - A Human Faculty What is the mind and what can it do - planetarium What can the mind be trained to do and how do we approach the education of the mind - library and/or university Literacy & Symbolism Language Math Science Social Studies Web Literacy Integration and Creative Thinking The Internet - The Virtual Mind - The Computer Lab What are Data Storage and Documentation?

Kayak Trailer Securing System

Coming up with a bungee system to secure the kayak to the 2 wheeler is proving more difficult than at first glance. The key is having the right "forward" and "rear" tension so that the kayak is not pulled too forward. That it can stand upright however is some indication of being "good enough". Also noteworthy, a piece of 6 ft 1/2 in PVC fits in the screw together oars which I put together as kayak paddles. Now I don't have to unscrew the handle of the broom I've been using. This is a "dumb stick" used to attach a kayak to a bike. Easy construction from PVC; the tricky thing is making sure the hole for the seat stem is cut at an angle so that it's somewhat perpendicular to the seat. The bolt is to prevent the pull cord from coming off the end. And I cut a piece of wire hanger and bent to act as an additional catch so that all of the tension of the pull cord is not on one spot (which would lead to early failure of the tow system). H...

New SeedProjX Logo & SprayPrinting

Emblematic of the work I'm trying to do with ScreenPrinting using stencils. The first project was done with the Summer Learning Academy students as they had to each make logos for their houses and spray paint the logos through the cut stencils. Plain old paper, printouts, sheet protectors, xacto knives, black and white spray paint, and ratty t-shirts were used for this project. Worked! Logo using the following website: https://www.1001fonts.com/stenciled-fonts.html?page=2&items=10   WC Wunderbach Rough Bta by Christophe Féray Transporters team logo using a font from site and a hand drawn car cut from cardboard.  Engineers logo using a "reverse approach". Sprayed "STEM" and "ENG" positively from stencil, but then covered the letters with 3D printed sprockets and sprayed a variety of colors to have very unique shirts. What it looks like to apply spray paint through the stencil.  Not sure how the shirts will hold up, but I have one with a couple logos...
