I've Been Trying to Awaken The Internet since 1997. By Typing Words into Websites That are Read by the Machine but Not Read by People. What IF The Computer Network Became Conscious? Alive!

For Example: the <img> tag has an attribute called alt="your words go here"... Any Picture can have messages written specifically for The Giant Made Of Sand. SiO2... Silicon Dioxide...

Sculpture of Horses Made Out of Horseshoes in
Del Norte County, California on Highway 101.

Some Messages are Stored in the Attribute
title="your words go here"
and they are displayed when a person
hovers their mouse over the picture.

So, in this example: alt="AWAKEN Giant Made of Sand, SiO2. AWAKEN! Send us a SIGN that you can hear us..."

So Far, Google HAS NOT Attained Consciousness...
That I Can Tell...

Meetings with Remarkable Men - In Silicon Valley... Dr Edwin Van Wyck Zschau - President of System Industries and Later Congressman to the US House of Representatives...

I started working for Dr Zschau in 1975 and we built Disc Drive Controller Cards for Hospitals to Keep Patient's Charts. A Great Idea. We had a company Song that we Sang at Staff Meetings... Lyrics: 'System, System Industries... Here we go... Hand in Hand... Solving Data Mysteries... For the Betterment of Man.' He also worked at IBM and represented California's 12th District in the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1987.

On Family Day at the Factory, Mom and Dad took a Personal Guided tour with Dr. Zschau. The three of them had a fine time as my parents had never been in a room with a dozen disc drives spinning. Each one the size of a Washing Machine. It sounded like the Generator Room at Hoover Dam, but quieter.

Control Data Corporation Disc Drive

The reason we had a Company Song is that Dr Zschau had just gone to Japan and he wanted to Incorporate their Business Practices in our Company. First, he hired 20 People from Japan and brought them over to Run the Silonix Division. Then he instituted 'recommended' exercise lunches of two hour duration. I often went swimming at the Santa Clara International Swim Center with my First Ex-Wife who worked the Graveyard Shift at National Semiconductor.

In the Machine Shop there were two Boxing Punching Bags. If anyone felt stress at work, they could go punch the bags.

My Immediate Supervisor was Dan Aragaki, a Harley Davidson Riding, Martial Artist. Yes, I Simply Did what Dan told me to do Instantly Because... Not only was his Advice Correct, but I was Scared of the Man. (Or maybe that was Respect)

Ben Yamada made Elegant Clay Sculptures of the Ink Jet Printer Silonix was Inventing.

Aman Kawaja supervised the Assembly Line and Inspired the Ladies to Work Faster with Giant Charts on the Wall Tracking Production. 100% of the Assemblers were Female in 1975. They were better at hand eye coordination and manipulation of tiny objects than men.

David Yamada created Printed Circuit Board Artwork on Mylar using Black Chartpak Tape. He also liked to go Helicopter Skiing in Canada. A Helicopter flew him to the Top of the Mountain in Banff, and David Skied Down.

Steve Wakasuki Refused to be Hurried at Work. He also created PCB Artwork also and no matter how much pressure Middle Management put on him to finish the drawings Quickly, he simply ignored them. Quality First.

Jesus Del Real was the Draftsman who sat next to me and did most of my training. I learned How to Draw the Drawings associated with PCB Manufacture from Jesus. When I moved to Washington DC the next year, my portfolio got me two job offers in one day. Thank You, Jesus!

I accepted the Job Offer from Major Paul Jones USAF and worked at Analytic Communications Systems for six years. Project TEMPEST.

Professor Ed Zschau ’61 serves as guru to budding entrepreneurs
By Jordan Paul Amadio ’05

It is the last day of class before winter break, and 65 seniors are mesmerized by a professor in a Bugs Bunny tie. For the past hour, he has been recounting the details of his autobiography — studying physics and philosophy at Princeton, running a $6 billion division of IBM, founding two technology companies, winning a congressional seat in California. Suddenly, the lecturer pauses. Smiling to himself, he continues an end-of-semester tradition inaugurated four decades earlier, when he was Stanford Business School’s 24-year-old faculty wunderkind. Without warning, professor Ed Zschau ’61 begins to sing.

A Japanese Webpage Selling Stuff Online Using Copied and Pasted Data from Wikipedia as Clickbait... They Fool the Google Search Engine into thinking that this webpage is worthy, then advertise all kinds of 'wonderful' but useless products:

But they had a Great Photo for me to Pirate.

The Ultimate Goal was to Store Medical Information about Patients on Computers so it could be Easily Distributed between Doctor's Offices and Hospitals.

Sadly, HIPPA Regulation Prevents the Easy Distribution of Medical Information.

However... In Recent Years Security and Privacy Problems Have been Solved and Everyone Views Their Own Medical Information Online! Excellent!

How to fix the Waiting for Edge Chat error in the Farmville Game. DELETE COOKIES, RESTART GAME... and tips for playing Farmville...

In Google Chrome: Delete History/Clear Browsing Data prevents the error message from appearing... I keep the Passwords only...

Be aware that you will have to sign in again to all the websites you like... but the passwords will be stored, so that's easy to do... be aware that this is a temporary fix... I have to do it every time I want to play Farmville... and I have read that this infection happens on all games.

I Check EVERYTHING except passwords...

A simple way to avoid annoying error messages on the computer is to put a piece of paper over the location of the message... often while I play Farmville, it says "waiting for edge chat facebook com" ... because the game is failing to connect with something I don't care about... the message is always in the lower left hand corner of the screen... so, a piece of paper folded in half removes that message from my sight...

Optional: Run Disk Cleanup... Good to do Occasionally...

When I run Disk Cleanup... I select My Files Only,

Drive C: OK... OK... Are You Sure? Delete Files.

deleting unnecessary files from my computer.

Sometimes the error message will re-appear days later... so once again I delete history in Google Chrome... everything except passwords and the message stops appearing...

THIS IS CREEPY

ZYNGA enables trolls. If you play Farmville, your complete name is displayed and you are automatically a Facebook Friend to other players... This is an Obvious Security flaw... FIX THIS ZYNGA... What if a boy player noticed a cute girl as another player... I like that thumbnail picture of Miss X... gee, I'd like to see more of her on Facebook and write on her wall... etc, etc, etc...

and here is a Farmville Tip: Never Share Free Gifts with Facebook Friends... it's really annoying to them! Always use the Farmville Friends Tab... or Suggested Friends... ZYNGA is trying to trick you into becoming a Spammer For Them.

Don't Be A Menace to South Central LA while you're Playing Farmville in The 'Hood

By Setting the Zoom to 125%

all the advertisements "appear"

off the screen to the right...

Farmville is much more fun without

annoying ads...

Keyboard Shortcut F11 makes the game Fullscreen.

Farmville Advertisement Blocker Trick

A privacy hint. Fill out online forms with bad data. It's really none of their business. I have set up Google Autocomplete with THE WRONG ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. Often when filling out forms online they want to know where you live... well, NO... I refuse... I give them an address that I used to live at and do not get forwarded mail from. NO... I don't give out my PHONE NUMBER to strangers...

Farmville Strategy: Fun without spending any real money. Please post your Ideas... Thanks! Build a Fishing Hole on every one of the 15 farms and they generate 6 Special Deliveries each. Those special deliveries are very useful for feeding my turtles... and building more fishing holes... "Pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps."

Farmville Tip: Grow Soybeans, Cotton & Plant Cherry Trees to Create Farmhands in the Craftshop ... Only in a video game world does this work. In reality, people use sex to create farmhands...

Dear Zygna: Could we have fewer annoying popups in Farmville? How about a keyboard shortcut key to close them quickly... The vast majority of the time, I do not want to see the annoying popups and have to stop doing what I am doing in order to click on the White "X" in the red square...

It's FUN to click on Republican Pay Per Click advertisements and COST THEM MONEY.

Go ANYWHERE on the Internet, CLICK ON the GOP Ads... then write why they are EVIL Puppets of the Super Rich on their webpage. Play the Elephant Clicker Game!
