Luis, This year I joined the Houston Astronomical Society, the Astronomical League and now Texas Astronomical Society. I am a retired mathematical statistician, but I work full time still as Director of the Internet Foundation.  If you want me to bore you to tears about global Internet communities, I am happy to oblige. I have

Sample Internet Foundation Tasks and Projects

Sample Instructions: “server boxes” project Research “old computers with barebones boot and run my own server” Buy old or new mid tower that can hold 6 disks, fast SATA, NVME SSD for memory mapping to handle big transfers at maximum speed.  And enough processors to run batch jobs like compile chromium process google ngrams gather

Comment on: Trabecular bone organoids, synthesizing earth-like gravity equivalents

Trabecular bone organoids – A micron scale prototype designed to study the effects of microgravity and degeneration – https://www.nature.com/articles/s41526-021-00146-8 Alexandra, I received this note today about your work.  I have been tracking most all the levitation technologies on the Internet for some time. Then I realized that you probably know all this already, except maybe acoustic

Comment on: What is Clay by Miss Territo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgzW_qRRRLs Taking clay from natural soils requires mixing with water, settling, separation. Or crushing and dry separation, to get the fine enough particles that have the properties you want or need. And usually a degree of experimentation and learning to find the right sizes and properties that give different ultimate results. And some luck and

New Video: Counting as Organization, with Objects in Javascript for Wikipedia and the Internet

I am pretty exhausted, I have to ask others for help, rather than figuring it out myself. Counting as Organization, with Objects in Javascript for Wikipedia and the Internet – https://youtu.be/m2-Hd1VNfYE In the video I show some small steps as part of a broad program of changes over the whole Internet, but no way to

Comment on Welding – semi-robotic, solar system colonization, contract work in vacuum, atomic fuels

https://www.weldingtribe.com/automated-welding Randy, Thanks for the site!! Some good advice here. There are lots of options for making intelligent tools for human welders, rather than completely replacing them with robots. Have you run across this yet? For instance, I came to your site from a search “welding” (“current” OR “amperes”) “sticky” looking for the physics and

IMT is now Atomica – Please also try making gravitational sensors

IMT sent me a note about their name change. I wrote back to ask them to work harder on gravitational imaging sensors which can be adaptations of MEMS accelerometer technologies they are already familiar with. I am encouraging anyone who makes MEMS accelerometers and inertial sensors to at least try to prepare for gravitational sensor

Comment on Gravitational force In vacuum video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybJjYUbGx34 This is nice to see, but it should lead off with where is it, who is involved, how much does it cost to pump the chamber empty, what do they think is still there in the chamber that is causing the feather and ball to fall the same. Lots of other things. Did you

New Video: Atomic Masses, Atomic Decay energies, Gravitational GPS

Isotopic Masses, Fundamental Constant Groups, World Education, Gravitational Fuels https://youtu.be/WxiJ320pQJI I start by showing how bad PDF is for sharing data. I am trying to get a simple table of isotopic masses to check the nuclear data tables. And it is stored in terrible form. I had to copy and paste and edit to get
