Global Warming? Blech! Global Cooling!!!
Many of you have seen or heard about the videos of Al Gore. Many of you might agree with him. Well, today I want to talk to you about the other side: Global Cooling. While Al Gore keeps hammering away at the climate, telling that polar bears are drowning, and ice caps are melting, The is another person, who advocates, what I think is, something closelier resembeling the truth.

There could also be stands selling bottles of water, of which the profits go to the fight against… Continue

Simplicity without Manuals
Easy usage is the most important thing that we can include if we want to have an impact on the world. Why would people take the time to read an extensive manual for a new machine or development? This is why, on top of trying to create cheap solutions to the problems, we need to make them simple and transparent so that their use can spread. This way the people who are using it will be able to explain it to their neighbors, which will be vital to the success of whatever new invention we provide.… Continue

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
