Video Game Crisis Communication Secret
After reviewing the 5 secrets to crisis communication, I believe that the most important secret is how people react to crisis situationist. Not understanding how people react is like trying to solve for X without any other numbers or variables. It's just impossible.
People reaction will make and break any type of solution to any crisis. If people react out of control, the systems in place will fall apart. The best way to counter this, is to keep the system as simple as…

My Secret Passed on in 2086
In 2086 the way we interact with the world has become completely intertwined into technology. There very little on the planet that won't interact with your PSC (portable super computer).
When the technology was first introduced to the world in 2009, it was mind boggling. It's now mind boggling how we never had it before.
Human society has turned into a bucket, filled only by the information provided through our PSCs. Lost in history are what I…

The YouTube video above shows a solution to technology that has been known to man for quite awhile. Most people who go camping, know the survival skill of boiling water and catching the vapor on plastic and allowing it to drip down into a cup for drinking.
The only problem has been issues with the amount of power needed to make this work on a…

4th of July 2020
By bar my favorite holiday, the 4th of July! Load the car. The sun is out. Hit the road headed to the beach in my new fully electric car which I unplugged from my own power source created by activity that take place right in my home, along with solar & wind energy caught on my roof.
On the way to the beach the light poles all have wind turbines which capture the wind generated by the car that drive by. That energy is stored and will be used to light my way home in the…

Just Type P-O-W-E-R
How many people do you know who use a computer? The amount of computer users is growing everyday. There has got to be a way to harness the power of the computer user.
We've all heard the old computer with the pedals under the desk. Let's be real. Who is going to use that? When I sit down to use the computer, half of the experience is getting to relax a little bit while I let technology do what is does best.
But what is the one physical activity…

Street Light Powered by Wind (Pic)
I really like the idea I found here.
It actually looks cool, and makes a world of sense to me.
All day to gather up a charge, and still would gain power late at night from passing cars.
A back up for emergencies is a must of course. At least use this tech as a Hybrid option. I'm such a huge fan!
I was unable to find a cost on this tech, the problem I see here is that street lights are…

Dinner in 2020
In 2020 I'll be what I consider old! YIKES!
My daughter, still super young of course.
My wife, she will alway be a hot 21 year old in my book.
I'm sure my wife will be the one cooking dinner. I'm not much of a cook. Although, I hope to learn something in the next 10 years about cooking.
Already having plenty of organic foods available in the Portland Oregon area, I'd imagine that a good…

My idea is to suddenly cause a drought in the game.…

When Only Money Stands in the Way
Living in the great Northwest it seems like food is everywhere. What really stands in the way is adequate amount of funding to deliver programs that can meet the challenges. Instability and short-term funding shows that the government undermines programs in this region.
Oregon State University has tried and continues to battle this with sustainable community food systems. The system concepts are:
-how food is grown
-how food is…

Bartering & Food Value
While in college I co-found an online bartering site.
It was simple. List services and good you would like to trade/sell.
You could make a Wishlist of what you want as well.
If you had something you wanted to get rid of, you could search the master Wishlist to find someone that wants your item. Once you find a person that wants your item, you could search what they have to offer and then make an offer.
Offers would go back and forth…

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
