Project Storage Clipboard - repurposed kitty litter container

I was disappointed when I went to Home Depot today to pick up some things to find a cool aluminum storage clipboard was $25. I guess that I think they're worth the cost: they are beautiful and a especially wonderful for projects. But I didn't have the money, what with it being after Christmas and all. So I decided, since I had to have something, seeing as I had an Arduino project that was migrating upstairs and down to not be in vicinity of my sleeping child, I would make one from something around the house. Call it Pack of the Litter 1.0.

Of course, the best would be to reuse an old briefcase, the original project management device. I didn't have one. And they don't work as well with binder clips, with which I have a special fascination. And doesn't the binder clip make such a fancy pen holder? The kitty litter lid, a fancy screw tray?!

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?

Plastic Origami Field Use Microtome

Plastic origami (plastic folder source) worked well to make specimen holder. 2 widths possible by either folding down on bottom to furthest stop or by placing bottom together in slit cut. Slide holder is filled with water and specimen is hand advanced with the slightest of nudges over the length of the specimen holder. Cuts are made on the other side of the glass slide, which holds the specimen holder in place and also acts to create a smooth cutting surface for better quality cut (using standard razor blade). The glass slide has a semi-ovular cut from the bottom using a steel wheel glass cutter (see video). This cut allows the specimen to advance beyond the glass so that the specimen can be cut. Cross sectional cuts of stem are picked up with needle nose forceps and placed on a slide. Extra water was absorbed with Kim wipes separating slides. Clear tape is used as cover slip to secure specimen to slide and then specimen are examined using Carson handheld microscope. ...
