Plant Press Success!

The press seems to have worked. About 1 month press time but only 1 day with the additional 2 screws inserted (for a total of 6 screws). The middle of the press bowed in the middle before the insertion of the middle screw set. Things now to consider are how to frame these samples (dollar store frames seem likely), how to show the backs of some samples (like ferns), and identification. Also have to consider where best storage for dehydration might be (ex. attic), how many samples can be successfully pressed, and where can I connect with people to further learn about press strategy and identification.

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.

Orb Weaver Beyond the Window

Saw this little guy outside my daughter's window. Grabbed my Bugs and Slugs guide and got ID down to American Spider or Orb Weaver. Searched genus name for Orb Weaver (Araneus) and Wikipedia had a European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) front and center. I think that's a match. Excited to pursue IDing common species that we live with everyday and yet know nothing about. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneus

Enlarging a Bike Trailer w/ Fence Post

I had an old Allen trailer that my daughter got too big for. I've been dreaming of still biking her around places so I can get fit and she can watch videos while we head to fish, a park, or a roller rink. Flipped stroller handle on trailer to give more height. Draped the trailer cover to cover more of the sun. Secured fence post with spring clamps to add side paneling that holds the extending front paneling. Add a rolled up inflatable camping mattress covered by an old army duffel bag for comfort on the legs.
