quick chemistry video

Well thanks to VMD, Pubchem + Pubchem Edit + Blender 3d + Biocyc.orghere's a test video of a hypothesized cannabigerolic acid synthase (aka the geranyl diphosphate transferase) that converts olivetolic acid (painted in blue + gray) into cannabigerolic acid (painted with red) need to get the gpp in there correctly and for those who must know the protein is 1U0V - I picked it for a couple reasons, however it's sorta silly cause it hasn't been structured. It's for illustration.

Charlottesville Community Bikes, Aluminum Foundries, and Bling

Had a rad time at the Cville community bike shop this weekend. We melted a bunch of aluminum and one lucky gal got some handmade hard core bling for her wheelz. And every one got to hear a bunch about aluminum, aluminum oxide, steel, slag, and a bunch of other stuff that makes the whole thing so what it is... rad.


Here's a video of the whole thing... may have said aluminum oxide 10+ times... ah well.... metallurgical chemistry = BONUS!

our daily bread board

Today working for the third week on the Arduino Diecimila chip - combined with a GM862 and a one-wire temp sensor -

From Our Daily Bre...

and so now I gotta connect that diecmila on the left to the one wire sensor to the 50 pin break-out board to get a SMS message to a buddy when the temperature drops below 26 degrees farenheit.

The software employed is arduino sdk and the One wire + arduino tutorial

taste of eli cook + some train graffiti

walking down the tracks to see eli cook rock out durty nelly's passed a train with almost 50 cars in a row of awesome tag art + graffiti - a mobile museum, festival of colors - wait until the end to see this really gnarly chick painted in amazing detail....

the track is light that gasoline from eli cooks new album electric holy fire water

it's what those of us who dig eli's rock blues van halen meets muddy water have been waiting for.... and well worth the wait. dead man is an awesome fist pounder boot stomp and santeria shakedown is straight badass.... eli's only getting better, badder, and radder - maybe we'll get a rundmc aerosmith moment one of these days... here's hoping

android v1

android rocks - a fun sdk with simple plugins to eclipse. brief little tidbit - the subclipse plugin is great too

to get svn access in eclipse get the subclipse svn plugin

be careful when installing to avoid buckminster & mylyn errors - all you need to do is click into the plugin to get to the second menu where those dependencies are visible. there's a forum thread somewhere on this - can't find it now.... it's the second step in the plugin installation process though...

after that you can access it by right clicking on your source , go to the "team" menu and "share" button -

http://code.google.com/p/aloha-bambi/source ='s all the rest of the instructions for getting svn access...

get your password that google creates for your code, and you're done

enzymatic thc & cannabinoids.... patent pending technology for sale on craigslist.org

So it's time to sell this thing. am opting for craigslist.org for marketing - also got a poster contest in the make... we'll see. this morning my quote of the day came from daniel webster -
A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures.

and it was right next to a quote from ole TJ about banks being bogus...

anyhow, none of it matters... on the flip side the entertainment value - and this is the stuff that rocks... is keeping me going. That and google analytics...

over a month and barely 100 visitors. that's pathetic.

the guy selling his page by the pixel got like 100 million visitors.

anyhow. craigslist rocks. see that phone number on enzyamtic-thc.com - that's the phone number made possible by some dude on craigslist who responded to my plea for a free phone within 15 minutes. By noon the next day i had a free phone to plug in to my outlet... 15 minutes later some spammer from India was calling me about my interest rates....

time... So hook it up, click on enzymatic-thc.com - it's good for a chuckle. plus there's a geeked contest with some swank y3k prizes including a 3d scanner... :)

le bus

nearing the end of the month, the end of a two year residency in my abode, and the bus project is taking shape.

here are a couple pics





And thanks go out to Todd Eli + Gaston & Wyatt for the wood... This stuff is beautiful!
