Electric Waste Orchestra Humboldt Electronic Light Orchestra

So a couple days ago I read about the Electric Waste Orchestra (EWO) in PSFK. It seemed like an idea that is harmoniously complementary to the Humboldt Electronic Light Orchestra were working to kickstart with the Humboldt Laser Harp project. Then today I met Tibora Girczyc-Blum, the director of SCRAP Humboldt, and I realized how well the EWO concept meshes with the SCRAP Humboldt mission. Per PSFK:Electric Waste Orchestra hard drive instrument"The Electric Waste Orchestra at Makerspace Urbana, located in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, takes outdated technology and turns them into pieces of fully functioning musical equipment. One guitar, shown in the video above, is comprised of an old keyboard...

NOT ANOTHER UPDATE

YES BUT JUST A QUICKIE..Ive forgotten what they call them in England, but the Zuchinis as well as the cucumbers are powering on again now that the Nitrates are climbing. Its amazing how quickly they have turned around. I should mention I did give everything a dose of Iron Chelate and Im delighted how quickly they color up after this wonderful stuff. Its like Angel Dust for Aquaponic grown plants that are showing yellowing, veiny leaves. Its notebook time... I thought I might take on the Bio-digester and throw up some sites to deliver an explanation about the principles.  Let me say first of all, if you have set up an Aquaponics system with gravel or expanded clay as your...

Lunch time goodness Recipe ❒ sprout sandwich ❒

redina lettuce under 90 watt L.E.DThis sandwich is something of a regular mealtime of mine and while it can be eaten everyday, you wouldnt want to devoir this then go on a date. With a whole clove of garlic freshly grated, this sandwich will saturate your mouth with the aroma of 100 Italian meals at once. There is no skimping on taste here, bold basils and old cheddar cheese, radish sprouts and mammoth dill, Italian parsley and spiced coriander, all add up to a sandwich fit for a king or queen. This is almost a completely raw sandwich besides the bread but Im sure there is a substitute for some type of raw bread if needed.While this may be to strong for some people, I mainly look at the...

Humboldt MCU Opportunity Tech Companies Recruiting IoT Developers

One of my goals for this blog is to identify ways for Humboldt microcontroller (MCU) users to earn money and to try to highlight those money-making opportunities for people who are interested in them. It will help Humboldt people and the regional economy if we can increase the number of Humboldt MCU-related paid projects and jobs.IoT concept graphic (from comsoc.org)Wired.com had a short July 25 article, "Tech Giants Begin Recruiting for the Next Big Platform Wars", which talked about a technology-economy trend that Humboldt MCU people should be aware of and should look at as an opportunity for projects or jobs. The article says that the Internet of Things (IoT) is going to be a huge revenue...

The Humboldt Laser Harp Project Part 2

[See Part 1 of the Humboldt Laser Harp project here]So, Im still glad Im part of the Humboldt Laser Harp (HLH) project. But boy do I feel useless and clueless about whats going on from a technical standpoint...SparkFun MIDI breakout boardThere have been a few emails back and forth today between Ed, Nick and me about the HLH project. Eds getting a lot of the programming concepts figured out, e.g. "...I think Ive solved (assuming that any of this actually talks to a MIDI thing, anyway) the 16 string limit. The 16 MIDI channels are now dynamically assigned to different strings as needed, and released when the string is released. Not sure what would happen if you broke more than 16 beams. Probably...

Now Back to the Black Soldier Flies

If you are new to either Aquaponics or this site and dont know anything about BSF, here is a quick run down.The Black Soldier Fly lives its life far removed from the type of fly we all encounter in our homes.It doesnt normally come in contact with humans.So you would normally go through life without ever seeing one.Unlike house flies, they dont hang around rubbish EXCEPT to lay their eggs near food suitable for their offspring.Their offspring, the pupae, are ravenous eaters of most food-scraps.In fact unlike worms, they will clean up a kilo of scraps in 24 hours if you have enough of them.The other reason we are interested in them is that they are a brilliant food source for fish as they provide...

The Future Its In Our Hands

A Growing Trend In AquaponicsBy Marta Lane on Aug 15, 2012 in Farmers Markets, Lifestyle “Most of the soil on Kaua‘i is junk,” says Glenn Hontz, program coordinator for advanced education and training in agriculture and business programs at Kaua‘i Community College. “It’s not because of the plantations either. You can blame it on the sun, the rain and the incredible amount of heat that the soil is exposed to all the time.“That soil can be built back up within a few months,” Hontz continues. “But it’s a lot of work. It’s easier to build an aquaponics facility.”                                                  ...
