Here is further proof that I am not the first to know stuff. This video was put up a couple of years ago. It’s in an area of interest to me–source field energy. This is a good snapshot of what people are doing in this area of science.
Time Out for Timeline on Facebook
By admin on Saturday, April 7th, 2012 | No Comments
So far, the instruction for Facebook Timeline has been sketchy, and even misleading. Some people, and they are among those I follow, can do better than they can teach. What’s the old saying? If you can’t teach, just do the thing.
Here is a good example of simple instruction on one aspect of the new Timeline layout.
By 3 o’clock today, I had spent all the day in looking for a way to link my other Facebook pages to my Timeline Tabs. I’m beginning to think there ain’t no way.
Grassapelli’s 15 Minutes of Blog Fame
By admin on Sunday, September 18th, 2011 | No Comments
I’ve been a fan of Les Visible for quite a while. I found him after getting involved with the ALTA reports at Half Past Human, and George Ure’s blog.
What keeps me coming back to Visible’s writings is his unusual point of view along with his ability to turn a phrase with wit and elegance.
I’ve made only a few comments. The most recent one got his attention. Now I’m way more famous in the blogosphere than I was.
You can read the words he wrote acknowledging me on the current Smoking Mirrors post. It’s a paragraph of two about the WTC complex that was destroyed you know when.
What most people don’t know is how much damage was done, and the anomalous nature of the destruction.
For example, Building 4 was completely destroyed except for the smaller part, the north wing. It was as if the larger part of the structure was sliced off and demolished, leaving the north wing standing.
Another example, even more anomalous is Building 6. It appeared as if a giant auger had drilled out the core of the building and left the shell standing.
The image on the left is probably OKC bomb damage, on the right is WYC 6. The whole picture is from Dr. Wood’s site. I recommend it for those seek information about what happened to the WTC buildings.
Visible has a link to a site that mentions the damage as other buildings being “crushed.” That may not be what happened.
I was persuaded by Dr. Judy Wood’s book Where Did the Towers Go? Her website has the anti-esthetic quality that might expect from a card carrying nerd. But there is a huge amount of info. Even so, I would expect most people to be turned off by the cluttered appearance of the landing page.
The book, on the other hand, looks good. It’s well organized and well presented. Yes, there is a little more repetition than one really needs. Lack of a good editor, my guess.
Anyway, we just passed the 10 year anniversary and the Legend, as spooks say, is still being pushed.
Here’s another hit. Recently I was going to watch a special on TV by National Geographic. About 9-11, of course. The teaser was, 33% of the public believe the US government had something to do with it. Whoa! Did you catch that? One third of the people don’t buy the Legend?
As I tuned in, I fully expected a debunking of any alternative to the official story. Alas, you had to be a TV subscriber to the channel. My wife gets the magazine, but that was no help. So, I didn’t watch it.
But I keep thinking, “One third of the people don’t buy it!”
Hey, what if it’s really more than that?
Fiddle Sounds Like
By admin on Friday, August 5th, 2011 | No Comments
The new page Fiddle Tracks realizes a long held intention for this blog. I had in mind all along to publish fiddle tune MP3 tracks here.
To start, I’ve uploaded two tunes from a recent practice with Big Jim Allen, and two performances from a recent concert with the Crystal Beach String Band.
The music is good. The sound is good. The execution is not flawless.
If I waited until my performance was perfect, I never would have completed my first album, let alone the second and third, etc.
Small Swig is an Irish fiddle treatment of an old swing tune. You heard this tune if you saw the movie, Chocolate. Sweet Georgia Brown is still just as sweet to play as ever.
The I’m Just an Old Lump of Coal is sung by Sharon Nauman, of the Crystal Beach Band. The fiddle tune medley, Soldier’s Joy, Red Haired Boy, Mississippi Sawyer, is a familiar trio of well known tunes.

Now that I have it, what do I do with it?
To see how the little icons link, go to Grassapelli’s Hubze Card.
It was just real easy to set up. Maybe that’s the point. It’s like a simple online game you win right away. We could all use some easy wins these days.
