Wired News: Global Warming’s Silver Lining

A bit of a rehash of theories. No question about it something will happen… But what? I don’t think any of these folks know what the long range effects will be. The way the weather models are throwing errors now should be enough warning that we don’t have all of the earth’s parameters mapped yet…

Welcome to java vector graphic drawing application and library kingdom!

Works fine on the iBook. Got to spend some more time with it but that seems the way of everything lately. Not sure that I will use it for anything but not sure I won’t. Gimp does most of what I need and Graphic Converter does the rest but they aren’t drawing apps.

Time will tell…

Three Pieces in Copper

By , March 29, 2005 3:37 am

These are 3 pieces I am working on that are made out of hand hammered copper. The mushroom caps and the leaf are made from copper that I got from an old piece of 1 inch copper water pipe. I split it down one side and cut a section off. Heated it to soften it a bit and then used tin snips to get the general shape of the piece. Then out come the hammers, anvil and anything else that will work to beat and shape the metal on.

The stems are 3/8 copper water pipe that has been hammered on the sides, flared on the ends and then buffed before soldering to the cap.

I may do a photo layout of making some stuff if there is any interest.

Free software movement – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Free software movement – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And once again it sneaks into my thoughts… as i sit here on my iBook with it’s totally proprietary os and hardware platforms…

This paragraph hits especially hard:
“On the other hand, many who prefer the term “free software” and consider themselves part of the movement do not believe proprietary software to be strictly immoral. They argue, however, that freedom is valuable (both socially and pragmatically) as a property of software in its own right, separate from technical quality in a narrow sense. Moreover, they may use the term “free software” to distance themselves from claims that “open-source” software is always technically superior to proprietary software (which is often demonstrably false, at least in the short term). In this sense, they object that “open-source” advocates, by concentrating solely on technical merits, encourage users to sacrifice their freedom (and the long-term benefits thereof) for short-term conveniences that proprietary software may provide.”
