Random Thoughts
Here are a few things from my psyche I have decided to share.
Hopefully some of you get a little something from what is here.
The things in the Random Thoughts section are ideas that I
decided to share. Nothing more than a thought of the
day I wanted to share.
Sometimes an overactive mind tends to wonder into uncharted
territory. When my brain goes rogue on me one of its
activities include coming up with cornball theories.
Cornball Theories are fictitious explanations for things that just are
not true. They follow a logical progression and might
sound like good explanations, but are not. If I find
them humorous I put them here to share. Some of the
facts have been altered to protect the truth from slander.
It doesn't happen often but sometimes you hear a story that
just makes you laugh at how people can be. If someone
tells a story of something they experienced and it makes me
laugh, I will try to include it here.
Papers
Sometimes I get interested in something and find it took a
little effort to understand what I needed / wanted to know.
If I was interested in finding something or exploring the
thought, chances are I am not alone. If it took me
effort to get it figured out, it would most likely require
effort for someone else. Sometimes I write a paper on
these so I can share it with people. Sometimes the
papers are written because I know I will forget if I don't
write it down. Some of these papers are listed here.
They are not related, just a few of the papers I think
people might find useful.
Understanding how the Fractional Reserve Banking System worked
at the base level interested me after watching
Zeitgeist the
movie and addendum. After looking up some information on
it I found the concept was fairly simple yet deceiving at the
same time. Some of the inherent negative aspects of the
system are not understood by most people.
A light meter can say a new light is brighter than the old one.
Your eyes may tell you something very different. Imagine
trying to get a brighter light for your work area to meet local
codes. Imagine getting that new light installed and having
the light meter tell you it is brighter and now meets local
codes for a good work space. Now imagine your eyes tell
you the new light is dimmer and you hate working in there since
your eyes have to stain. This is not as uncommon as you
might think. There is a real explanation for it.
The BluuBull stove is a stove design I came up with for
backpacking. I used it for a few years and liked it.
There were no moving parts or seals to go bad. It burned
denatured alcohol and burned quite clean. It was light
weight, compact ad never failed. However when the Jet Boil
Stove came on the scene I ended up putting the BluuBull Stove on
the shelf. :( These archived pages show what it is,
how to use it and a few other details. The pages also
describe in great detail how to make your own if you so choose.
Enjoy.
If you are looking to purchase a water filter / purifier for
backpacking or other outdoor activities, you might find this an
interesting read. This paper may help you understand a bit
more about the water filter process and what is being filtered
out of the water. There are more details here than on the
average manufacture's web sites. Take a look gain some
insight about virus' bacteria, heavy metal, pesticides ect in
the water you "Think" is clean because it is in the great
outdoors.
