Michael Palin – confessions of a trainspotter
This video shot in 1980 is the beginning of what later because "Great Railway Journeys" with Michael Palin hosting. This first video is about the history of the train system in Great Britain and is probably the most authentic piece on the topic by Palin because he is working off Read more…

Want to use Wind Power? You can by building it yourself
For you environMENTAL cases you can build your own wind generator. You can see all the information you need here: www.otherpower.com/otherpower_wind.html Very interesting and fun designs. What’s stopping you liberals? The earth is warming!! How can you NOT build one of these? The nice thing about this set of likely Read more…

D Wave Founders blog
I am currently researching if D Wave has a public interface where one can submit jobs to one of their quantum computers. I have not found if they have yet but I have found one of the founders blog here: http://dwave.wordpress.com/ Seems to be throwing one machine open to the Read more…

Edward Farhi talk on Adiabatic Quantum Computing
Good presentation on adiabatic quantum computation. In information theory class I learned that by using the Laplacian form and maximizing entropy you can find the description of physical systems. The adiabatic minimization will work well in these scenario. Research Links Quantum Computation by Adiabatic Evolution An Analog Analogue of a Read more…

Hitachi is known to be secretly working on a quantum computer
Note to Hitachi : If people know you are working on it then it is not secret. And I did not even need a quantum computer to figure that out.

Wind Power is Bullshite, The Feel good power
These 2007 numbers argue against any significant effect of wind power. States with most wind energy installed, by capacity (MWatt) –1. Texas 2,768 MW -2. California 2,361 -3. Iowa 936 -4. Minnesota 895 -5. Washington 818 Total = 7778 MegaWatts. This is my estimate. Wikipedia shows 16,000 MWatts of total installed generation capacity in Read more…

The 3 days idea situation internalization rule of highly constrained imagination in knowledge work
When doing hard core high testosterone engineering I learned something about my machine. Designing cutting edge RF circuit cards was a highly constrained exercise in the use of imagination for creativity. Highly constrained creativity is the type Richard Feynman talked about when he talked about creativity and physics. He liked Read more…

A Series of Videos on Electric Car Development
…… I’m not quite dead yet ( Notice it says SERIES HYBRID on the side??? Talk about blowing a 10 year lead! ) We’re going hard towards electric cars now that gas is going above 4 dollars per gallon. Watch the videos. See if you agree. Don’t get your hopes Read more…
