2020 - Where will I be? Counting Big Horned Sheep and Data Visualization
Originally published moments ago at my public blog
Big Horned Sheep March 17th, 2020
Over the past few months I have been actively working to take time off the grid to focus on the "real world." I work on a small part of the Machine that tracks the deaths and births of different species and calculates the sum totals of animals for each herd. In 2013 I finally received funding to track the actual numbers of several animals living in the wild, over time the project grew. I am now tracking the majority of endangered animals in North America. I have colleagues on every continent, working to understand how to track large populations of wild creatures.
I recently turned 45, and have spent the past weeks since my birthday confronted with the strange paradox of my life. I actively work everyday to maintain and preserve wildlife, but spend the majority of my days in the Machine. Despite having the opportunity to do some travel my life is basically played out pieces of information I share online. It's a tension that I tend to accept, it allows me to do valuable work.
Presently I am tracking these gorgeous little Big Horned Sheep.
The data from my project helps scientists and policy makers make better decisions about preserving the environment. I am a data cruncher. I build data visualizations that help people see different variables effecting populations.
When Alchemy calls me to help with the Tokyo food crisis, I'm ready with various data visualization tools and communications strategies that will help everyone understand what is happening. I will also have a massive library of adorable baby animal pictures, but I'm not sure how they can be used.

Thank you for your visit to my blog recently. I have no idea about how this Evoke thing just saw it on a TED talk and thought what a fabulous idea, it's a challenge to learn from. Your sheep are great. I read recently that simple fences are needed to stop deforestation from chewy little goats in Greece.
Best wishes to you

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. 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
