Fun Times From My Life!
I took my SH-101 Analog Synthesizer and Portable Speaker System Down to the Bank of the Potomac River in Alexandria Virginia late at night...
Directly across the river from the DARPA headquarters... I made "Spaceship Taking Off" sounds in the hope of "Freaking Out" the soldiers at that Air Force Base... When you make a loud noise on the bank of a river the sound travels very far. It is possibly that my music could have gone all the way up to the Lincoln Memorial... It's possible that people would think that aliens were Landing in Unidentified Flying Objects... Flying Saucer Attack! But mostly it was just fun! Here's an example of the sound from the movie Forbidden Planet...

I spent an afternoon reading the book "Inside Macintosh"... A huge book about the size as the World Book Encyclopedia... But it explains exactly what is going on with the software of the computer... And computer code in Pearl is included...
I was at a store called "a clean well lighted place for books" near De Anza College... In Sunnyvale...
That book was designed to be a reference for programmers working at Apple so all the code would work together... And while reading I experienced many "a-ha" moments... Oh! So that's how they do it!

I read a book called BASIC programming for the TRS-80... Which revealed how to create a "Squiral"... A spiral made of squares... And it looks like this...
Select an image:
10 make a duplicate layer of the image
reduce size of duplicate by 90% and rotate 12°
go to 10
(of course, this is not actual code - because it's an Infinite Loop - but that's the BASIC concept)

It seems like many of the Epic days in my life were days when I was high on LSD... For example: I went to hear the Grateful Dead at Winterland playing through the Wall of Sound on one of the nights that they made the movie... And I remember thinking it was odd that all those guys running around with movie cameras were filming a light bulb on the side of the stage... What I realized much later was underneath the light bulb there was a flip chart with numbers on it and they were recording the reel number of the movie that they were filming... At no point during the evening did I have any desire to stand in front of a camera and be IN the movie... I kinda figured, those guys are doing their trip and I was doing mine and if we happen to meet well, that's cool... And so when you watch the movie you will not see my face... I do remember that after the song "Truckin" I had the realization that if the roof flew off the building and I could see the stars... that still wouldn't be as amazing as what I just danced to... I believe that the musicians really put a lot of effort into that performance because they were making the movie... And the wall of sound really performed well in Winterland because they had a week to fine-tune it...

I took many LSD trips and some were just amazing. Hiking to the top of the waterfalls in Yosemite & Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, EPCOT, tubing Chico Creek, UC Santa Cruz, Montalvo Saratoga, Spectrum Arena Philadelphia, Merryweather Post Pavilion Maryland, RFK Stadium Washington DC, Camp Campbell summer camp, Butano Forest, the National Art Gallery at the Smithsonian and then a Tangerine Dream Concert, an anti-war protest at the White House - Lincoln Memorial, Witnessing Dawn in a field near Chico and Experiencing True Enlightenment...
Peyote at the rainbow gathering in Pennsylvania, Magic Mushrooms at the New Year's Eve Grateful Dead concert... Heavenly Blue morning glory seeds at the Beach Boys concert at the Washington Monument on the 4th of July with fireworks...

Happy Birthday to Me! On March 19th I'm going to be 72 years old. That made me remember that I know five people from Los Gatos High School that are already dead.
John Baggerly, Debbie Stage, Rich Field, Doug Stoner and Kurt Fenolio... Maybe there are more but those are the ones that have been reported on Faceborg by my classmates at Los Gatos High School...<~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~>
Free Health Advice: Disclaimer: I'm Not a Doctor so take me as seriously as you would take RFK Jr who doesn't know what he's talking about either.
When I was on the swim team, as a kid, I noticed that the chlorinated water was great for my skin and prevented acne... It also cured my poison oak rash... And I got poison oak a lot because I walked my dog up in the Santa Cruz mountains...I liked to test myself to see how far I could swim underwater... I could easily do 150 ft... But the real trick was to hyperventilate before I started... By breathing really hard I was able to fill my body with oxygen and then gradually release the carbon dioxide as I was swimming along...
So here I am decades later... And I find that doing deep breathing and filling my body with oxygen is a great way to clarify my thinking... I believe that a brain that's got a lot of oxygen is smarter... I have no scientific proof of that but so what??? Like I said before... I'm not a doctor... And if I give out free advice that's no damn good... well... You certainly ought to check with an actual professional before you believe any kind of crap that you see on the internet! Doctors go to college for like years and years and years and they study medicine... Go ask them! And remember to always Think for Yourself and Question Authority...
