About me:
The goal of Open Source Ecology is to build tools for replicable, open source, modern off-grid resilient communities. The means of achieving that is an ecology, or ecosystem, of open source hardware and permaculture that works as an interconnected ecological whole to provide all needs - the Resilient Community Construction Set. However, the name implies much more than technology - for technology is merely a basis upon which social organization can happen, in harmony with its natural life support systems. The real issue then emerges - the possibility of unprecedented quality of life for all. The basic assumption is that humans are capable of transcending the struggle for survival and resource conflicts, where this preoccupation is replaced by higher pursuits of personal and societal evolution.To see our latest progress visit the Factor e Farm Weblog.
Factor e Farm is the land-based facility where we put the theory of Open Source Ecology into practice. Factor e Farm is not a factory farm. Why e? It is a transcendental number. We aim to transcend. We push towards open source. Factor 10 reduction in price. Or at least e. Ten times cheaper means ten times the freedom. It is Factor e improvement in quality of life. It is technology for ecology. Agricola sum. We are farmer scientists - working to develop a world class research center for decentralization technologies.
We started with raw land. We paid our last electricity bill three years ago. We are getting our power from waste vegetable oil and the sun. We drink pure free rain water. We grow most of our food. We are free. Welcome to our life. We want to help others do the same. Decentralization. Regain control of your life. Be your own boss. Evolve to freedom.
Our challenge is to see how far we can reach into human prosperity on a small scale. Can we create an advanced, largely self-sufficient 'civilization' on the scale of villages or farmsteads? Have we overlooked something? If so, what else is needed? Could this have the potential to transform the world? If so, would you support it?

Who I'd like to meet:
Integrated Humans dedicated to evolving to freedom."A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -- Robert A. Heinlein

Defrag
your mind to free up positive space. Crop your thoughts to cut out all
the negative parts or views of negative thinking. Copy & Paste
daily inspirations and motivations to help focus on the good in each
situation in life. When you change your thoughts, you change your
thinking. Uploading this inspiration is downloading positive thoughts
into your memory bank of thinking. Think bigger, better and brighter
thoughts!"
Hope you have a great weekend & have a very happy birthday!!!!!!!!!
Happy, happy birthday!!!
And many, many more.
cheers and much love,

"...We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written.
The Holy Quran tells us, Mankind, we have created you male and a female. And we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.
The Talmud tells us, The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace.
The Holy Bible tells us, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God's vision. Now that must be our work here on Earth."

I would like to ask a favor from you as my friend. Would you ask all your friends to add us as a Friend.
I think as many we all can do more. Our food program is in need of a tractor and our country has many Hungry Americans. When they are more of us doing a little... there is LOTS we can do to Help Our Fellow Americans. Besides... it could be one of us next to have to deal with Hunger! When many do a little... there's not such a burden on just a few.
Could you help us in getting the word out to all your friends and Help Us Help Feed the Hungry Americans in Need? Ask them to visit our MySpace page to view our information provided and choose for themselves if they would like to add us.
Thank You in Advance for Your Support and Your Most Valuable time!
Sincerely,
Jim Bonham
