Day One Post - COVID 19 - Is Survivable, especially if you got the vaccinations.    

I have recovered from the latest variant of COVID 19 and my 10 days of quarantine ended today!!   The vaccines and updates work and I did not require hospitalization.   Researching COVID 19 and its new variant allowed me to recover with only a doctors guidance and over the counter meds.

If you can avoid COVID 19 and other Illnesses - but if you do get sick - know that you can recover.   Good health is the ultimate "Good News."

Day Two Post - New Solutions to Global Pollution and Warming

Computer Dudes Research on Drone guided balloons, tethered balloons, and PLANTING Trees have resulted in several a solution to Global Pollution and Warming.

We began today by selecting Eight sites on 2 properties  for tree planting - sun level testing complete, soil testing in progress. The first tree will be an apple tree planted in view of Computer Dudes workshop on my property in Tallahassee, Florida.

Day Three Post - 800 Watt per Panel, Solar Panels

Solar Panels have evolved from heavy aluminum framed panels that generate up to 100 Watts of Power per hour - to Thin Flexible Panels that require no frame, are very light, can be used in temporary or permanent placement generating - 800 Watts per panel.

The new panels are much less expensive, made of a thin plastic, and can be shredded for recycling at the end of their service life.

We have used them to power Air Conditioners, Computers and even Off Grid Data Centers 

Ten Days of Good News, Day Four - Optics, Smaller Medical Devices and Medical Watches.

Optics is the Science of Light.  Light is used in a scientific instrument called a spectrometer.  Spectrometers measure light and changes to light once the light hits and form of matter.  Medical devices use the science of optics in many sensors.

The Medical Watch on my arm uses a small spectrometer to determine blood oxygen level, sugar level, and blood chemistry without drawing blood.
Medical watches now give all the information one receives in an Emergency Room hooked up to a number of machines as well as blood tests.

The Computer Dudes is one of millions of companies testing and developing the technology and improving the technology
The watches are already helping millions improve their health.

The future is Bright! (forgive the Optics pun) -

Ten Days of Good News, Day Five - Computers

The first computers I worked and trained on were huge, often the size of a dining room.   The first PC's were also large and required heavy CRT type monitors.

Todays computers are our Cell Phones.   More powerful than the early computers and with integrated sensors and communication systems as well as HD Cameras and other features.  As we progress into 2024 - 2025 our computers are becoming our wrist watches.     Small, portable, often waterproof, programmable and powerful - they run off their internal batteries for days or weeks.    Small powerful computers are the good news for Day Five.    Even as I write this I can envision even smaller computers including those in medical devices.

These improvements in computers benefit all mankind and are being carried into Space with us.

Ten Days of Good News, Day Six - HD Cameras

The improvement and availability of HD Cameras needs little discussion - the CONTENT and HISTORY being captured by Billions of People around the United States and World are the good news.

From my recent trip up and down the East Coast my photography shows a Nation with many different ethic groups, races, religions and sexual orientations ALL together happy - celebrating their freedoms.

Those photos are now part of American History and disprove most of the negativity posted in the media.   While there are still many fake and deep fake photos and videos the HD photos and Videos are very difficult to spoof.    The volume and number of sources of HD Photos and Videos shared and posted across the internet and in person record and show the truth.

Ten Days of Good News, Day Seven - The Economy

In spite of all the negativity from the press and the politicians the Economy in the US is "Hot Hot Hot!"  I have never seen so much new construction and so many people employed since before COVID.

Inflation seems to be under control and although people still complain about money - every Starbucks and Chick-fil-a has both drive throughs full out onto the street.

I sincerely hope you, my friends, have a good job or career and are getting the pay and benefits you deserve.  If you don't keep looking, I think hiring will pick up again after the Election. :)

Ten Days of Good News, Day Eight - USB, SSHD and Portable Hard Drives

If you had told me even ten years ago that I could store Terabytes of information on a USB Drive or SSHD that is smaller than my wallet, I would have asked you what you were smoking.
Today they are a reality and even come in metal cases that are many colors and shapes to help identify the data stored on them.

Ten Days of Good News, Day Nine - UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supply

When you live anywhere there is a power grid - especially here in Florida - expect power outages and even for the power to blink on and off for no apparent reason

If you had told me even ten years ago that I could store Terabytes of information on a USB Drive or SSHD that is smaller than my wallet, I would have asked you what you were smoking.
Today they are a reality and even come in metal cases that are many colors and shapes to help identify the data stored on them.

Originally the standard was for the UPS to give the User 10 minutes to shut down. Now UPS units act as surge protectors and give low power use computers up to an hour to work and shut down.

Ten Days of Good News, Day Ten - Electric Bikes and Offroad Vehicles.

The new electric bicycles would certainly be adored by the Wright Brothers (who built bikes into airplanes).
I like the way one can pedal and use the bike like those from my childhood but at the same time it recharges the battery.

Electric Golf Carts and Offroad Vehicles are awesome too.
All of these help get a person outside of the house, or off the couch and provide many days of fun and adventures.
