David A. Mellis: DIY Cellphone. An exploration into the possibilities for individual construction and customization of the most ubiquitous of electronic devices, the cellphone. I investigate the implications of digital fabrication and open-source hardware for DIY practice. Research questions include: To what extent is it feasible for people to make the technology they use in their daily lives? What obstacles and difficulties will they encounter? How are devices (and the process of making them) transformed when they can be produced by the people who will be using them? How can we combine the flexibility of quick prototyping processes with the reproducibility and robustness of finished products? Publication David A. Autobiographical Exploration The DIY cellphone has been my primary mobile device for over two years.
Workshops I've taught multiple workshops in which participants have made their own versions of the DIY cellphone.

Run your car on water. This guy does just that! Eric Dollard: The Theory of Anti-Relativity 1of4 (2013) Mapping Global Human Activity. Air traffic routes between North America and Europe It is absolutely astonishing that our world has reached a population exceeding 7 billion, as of this past Sunday. With so many people occupying our world over many centuries, and with the number steadily growing, we're all bound to have had a significant impact on the planet. Luckily, Canadian scientist Felix Pharand-Deschenes has created visuals of our planet equipped with statistical graphics to represent various human influences on this home we call Earth. Pharand-Deschenes' Anthropocene Mapping project marks the paths of human activity including roadways, railways, airway traffic, internet cables, electricity transmission lines, and underwater data cables. He acquired all his factual information from various US government agencies.
The visually stunning maps are now a piece of history. Air traffic routes over Eurasia Air traffic routes around North and South America Human technology presence over North America. The Myth of Free Will, edited by Cris Evatt. What Is Free Will? The free will myth says that humans are imbued with a “spirit” or “soul” or “some magical quality” that directs the brain’s decision-making circuitry. This ghostly, free-floating, supernatural agent can override our genes and conditioning. But how does a nonphysical spirit communicate with a physical body part?
The free will myth also says, “You choose, therefore you have free will.” Yes, you choose things, but choosing is not proof. How Your Brain Chooses When you choose between a papaya and a banana, patterns of neural activity representing these two possibilities appear in the cortex. “Decision making is a competition, a dynamic process in which there are winners and losers.
Who Says It's a Myth? The Bottom Line “The mind is what the brain does, and so every mental event, from falling in love to worrying about our taxes, is going to show up as a brain event.

UCLA Invents Graphene Supercapacitor Made with DVD. Clean Power Published on March 17th, 2012 | by Tina Casey You are thisclose to the breakthrough energy storage technology of the next millennium if you a) have a computer, b) buy a blank DVD, c) own or have access to a DVD label-burning device and d) pre-treat your DVD with a thin film of graphite oxide. Well, there might be an extra step or two involved, but that’s the basic idea behind a new method for making high-efficiency energy storage devices called supercapacitors. Researchers at UCLA headed by graduate student Maher F.
El-Kadyh have demonstrated that an ordinary DVD pre-treated with graphite oxide can be inscribed by laser into components for a graphene-based supercapacitor using a commercially available CD/DVD label burning drive, in this case from the company LightScribe.
