It seems like I always has so many projects on the go that I
do not know where to begin. I tend to start half a dozen things at once and
slowly plod through them, some falling by the wayside to make room for new
things and ideas. I love to think things through and solve problems, as well as
loving to do things with my hands. I enjoy building things and learning new
methods and ways of creating them. To that end I find myself here.
I am going to try to keep track of all of my endeavors,
ideas, schemes, and projects here and will try to stay on top of keeping things
updated. I tend to become obsessed about something very intensely for a while
and then move one, only to return later on and work some more.
Here I will briefly go over some of the stuff I’m working
on.
Community garden initiative – the Donation Garden
Project I started in Huntsville ON, Canada. It is in its second year and
currently has one active garden producing tomatoes, potatoes, broccoli, and
squash. All of the produce grown is donated to a local women’s shelter and
others in the community who need it.
Open source technology – I first learned about the
open source movement in early 2011 and have since become active on the Open Source Ecology forums. On the forums people of varied background and skills
come together to share ideas to create open source hardware that will be used
to create sustainable communities in the future. My ongoing projects that tie
in with OSE forums include a nearly completed solar foundry prototype for use
in melting metals and glass as well as a new hammer mill design project.
Business modeling – I have been working on a
cooperatively owned business model that would allow for equal wage and rights
in a manufacturing or other business environments.
Other ideas – Preliminary brainstorming on a wake
brake system for reducing harmful boat wake, locally sourced ethanol
production, water/wetland restoration designs, street water runoff rafts, and
there are too many others…
All in all there are a bunch of things that I would like to
get done, and so little time to do them in. Lets see where it all goes!
