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…

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

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”… [...]]]> Ran down to Pensacola to pick up a compressor for the dive shop.

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…
