Captain's Blog

Do you have those days where you question, at what point did I make a wrong turn???  Here I am, looking for work, so that I can come up with the money to continue the adventure.  For everyone out there that has a tiny job with 5 skills that supports their tiny life…  I say, fire your boss and go do something great!!!

This is Dr. Sylvia Earle’s (head of science for National Geographic, famous marine biologist) book signed by her.  It’s difficult to step outside of the box.  This is what separates the men from the boys…

This is the trailer, and then there is the Kickstarter video below it for you to donate to the project, if possible.

This blog is really becoming bloated and disorganized.  I’m breaking off the photography section and moving it to it’s own site.  That way, I can concentrate the blog a bit better.  The photography section has almost taken over the entire blog.  You can now visit the photo tips and adventures section on it’s new blog – Photographer in Philadelphia .

The new portfolio is temporarily located at Basic Digital Photo .

This will be a work in progress for a bit.  I will continue to clean and simplify the blog and will have more changes as I go along.

Thanks,

Capn Scott

Ran down to Pensacola to pick up a compressor for the dive shop. I’ve bought 8 of these humongous MC1A compressors, so far,  and converted them to breathing air. They are pretty nice and fill a tank rather quickly…

I wonder how nice the mayor has to be here…  ”Hi, I’m the mayor of Niceville”…  What a great pickup line…

Been working on this crazy project for a bit.  Trying to build small autonomous weather stations that don’t need computers and such.  Not only does it report to the internet by itself (long distance wifi and solar powered), but it can be hooked up to relays and such. Let’s say, I use a soil or leaf dampness indicator, and if it’s too dry, it intelligently turns on a sprinkler (in accordance with water regulations (day of the week and time)) of course… But, if the barometer is dropping (indicating a rain front) it will hold off a while.  Weather stations should do something as well as report the weather… Been cranking out code till late at night and dealing with weather sensors…

Well finally, I’m seeing some progress…

I have more stuff coming, but this is getting very cool…
