Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

Piezomatic - it doesn't slice, it doesn't dice, but it generates electricity when you do

Okay, okay, I should be getting ready for Christmas, but the shopping channel is the shopping channel and I don't have gifts for everyone. The big thing this year is piezoelectric everything since a certain organization that we won't talk about made the break through in cost and materials. So I'm watching this guy who is disturbing on about eighty different levels and he has these little sticker things placed randomly about his body. I want to change the channel or pluck my eyes out, but somebody hid the remote ... and he is just so odd.

"Mark, can you Mark," the man on the television said. I was about to be totally freaked out, but I remember that the inlaws had the latest in personalized smart television. The man didn't wait for a reply.

"Well, Mark. I bet you are thinking - what can I get my loved ones for Christmas? Carbon credits again? A subscription to a CSA? Apple's new iPerson? No! Take advantage of the latest advances in piezoelectric technology or PZT. Our new Acme PZT personal package will now allow you to harvest watts from the unlikeliest sources."

"Have you ever just walked in from errands when your partner asks you about the one thing you forgot?" The man smacks the transparent patch on his forehead and an LED on his chest lights up. "PZT Forehead is right for anyone who has ever forgotten that one thing. During the course of an average year, you can power numerous rechargeable batteries. It isn't just self-loathing, it's power generation!"

"But wait, there's more. Buy the four pack of PZT Forehead to share with family and friends and I will through it the PZT Ogler. Everyone has a "friend" who does the quick head twist when a pretty girl or handsome lad pa****." An attractive woman walks across the set and the man jerks his head to look crinkling the PZT pad on his neck. "Niiccce ... and several watts. And if your partner catches you. No problem." He smacks his forehead again and another LED lights up on his chest.

"Now, alot of companies offer piezoelectric for your shoes. Really, who walks when they don't have to? That's why we will even throw in a pair of our PZT Cheeks. With these, you can power your laptop, cell phone, or other device by gentle rocking back and forth. Now, if you are one of our customers who enjoy horseback riding, ask to upgrade to the heavy duty model and the standard unit may experience ... difficulties."

"But why stop there, next to the bedroom accesories ..."

My wife calls from the other room. I turn the television off - perhaps, I will get a chance to see some of the other products later ...

@Shakwei: even funnier (and a little scary as well) that iPerson domain is already taken ...

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. 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

public servants

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.
