A Shed Down Under: Fascinating Links
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/p/fascinating-links.html
My meager contributions to the inter-webs can be seen by following these links:. Making Sense of Science Newsletter. Located for the moment on my business' domain and kept for archival purposes, the Newsletter itself does not circulate any longer due to the cost and complexity of email distribution lists. I was also getting too much spam through the forms. John S. Jacob. My "business card" site which try as I might, is not always up-to-date. Another site for uploading and sharing presentations.

A Shed Down Under: May 2015
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. The One Technology That Will Save Us All. Certain individuals and organizations who do not support universal access to the one technology that will save humanity. Possibly without realizing it, these people are therefore also supporting the following:. Environmental degradation and climate disruption. Increased vulnerability to natural disasters. Overcrowding and congestion in cities. Yet more disease, crime, violence and suffering. Inflation, devaluation of wealth. Corporate Religi...

A Shed Down Under: January 2015
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2015. So that even a moron can understand it). When an inventor comes to me for help with a totally new idea for an internal combustion engine that he promises will save the planet while producing emissions no more harmful than ice cream sundaes, I immediately know for a fact that this individual knows less about internal combustion engines than my belly-button lint does. This further means that the most fundamental human right is the right to ownership over one's own labor, and by...

A Shed Down Under: The Secret of Hovering
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-secret-of-hovering.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. The Secret of Hovering. No, I said HOVERING. As in "Levitating.". Not to be confused with the secret of. Which pretty much any idiot can figure out. This is THE secret that has eluded humankind for thousands of years. Transcendental meditationists, yogic flyers (aka butt-hoppers), ninja masters, medieval alchemists, druidic high elders, and Harry Potter fans have all searched in vain for this ONE THING you need to know about hovering. Here is the ONE THING that tells you ALL THER...

A Shed Down Under: New Music for your Dancing and Dining Pleasure
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2013/09/new-music-for-your-dancing-and-dining.html
Monday, September 9, 2013. New Music for your Dancing and Dining Pleasure. I thought I'd give Audacity another try. The last time I tried it was about five years ago, and the sound quality was hopeless. The laptop I was using at the time may have had something to do with it, but recordings using other software on the same machine sounded much better. Or just keep fiddling with it until it sounds OK. Yeah, that's actually easier. It helped to magnify the waveforms and line them up visually. The second, co...

A Shed Down Under: July 2014
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 4, 2014. More Reasons Why Politics Is Stupid and Other Disconnected Ramblings. The cost of being original and thinking for one's self is that you never have any allies. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Everyone needs freedom, though a few may experience some inconvenience to themselves as a result. Only slaves are 100% secure; free people must accept and bear the risks of freedom. That means that the people you are afraid of will not be under your control.

http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 10, 2014. If It Isn't Baroque, Don't Fix It. The Shed as a retreat is extremely versatile. For example, it has recently enabled me to run away to Leipzig in the first half of the 18th century. That's the time and place to which JS Bach belonged. That's why I take it upon myself to arrange and produce my own recordings of Bach's most astonishing works. In not just the history of keyboard instruments, but in all human history, the Preludes and Fugues are among Mankind's greatest achieve...

A Shed Down Under: A Brief History Of Marriage
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-brief-history-of-marriage.html
Saturday, May 9, 2015. A Brief History Of Marriage. In recent times good people everywhere are being urged to step forward and protect Marriage. But what exactly would we be protecting? The 1950's definition of marriage? One reason why the public debate over marriage sounds nonsensical with neither side able to understand the other is because everyone talking about marriage is talking about a different thing. That one, too. And that one.". Well, the law conveniently provided another reason for marriage b...

A Shed Down Under: Certainty or Self-Deception
http://aussieshed.blogspot.com/2014/10/certainty-or-self-deception.html
Saturday, October 11, 2014. Everybody wants proof for their beliefs. They want it so much that consciously and unconsciously they fabricate all the proof they need. Needless to say, this sort of self-deception does not lead anywhere good. Oh, I would never do that," you say. Really? Many religious people see it as self-evident that humans have souls and are quite apart from the rest of Animalia or even Mammalia on this planet - this planet that is increasingly recognized as not unique at all in the galaxy.
