After a year of learning and experimentation with TheRevolution.US I've decided to start fresh. I'm going to focus on creating a section for San Diego with pages including free WIFI locations, biographies of local politicians, and a list of local events. I'm hoping to build a framework that will in time allow the same to be done for other cities. At the same time I'll be trying to start some local discussion and action groups using the site as a communication tool.

In early February I'll be taking out papers to run for Mayor of San Diego and attempting to gather the 2,200 signatures needed over that month. The process should help familiarize me with the city's political system a bit more and help me with building things here.

In March I have an art show scheduled to show prints of my stencils. I'll be stumbling through different methods of making and using stencils until then, hopefully I'll take some pictures and put together a tutorial as well. I'll try to make tutorials of some of the steps I take building the San Diego section too, such as uploading and embedding photos and using some basic HTML tags.

I'm still mainly doing things solo, so if anyone wants to help out with anything let me know.

I just finished my run for Mayor of San Diego and it went great, you can check out my website for it at RevolutionaryMayor.Com

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get to Santiago, Chile for a vacation/adventure. I'm planning on setting up a new website at EricBidwell.Com to record how that goes.

Once I get back from Chile, or decide to give up, I'll be back to working on this site...

The Power of Coincidence

People around me have been both amused and aghast at the news that on 9-11 the New York State Lottery's evening number game popped up the numbers 9-1-1. Is this a paranormal happening? A wink from God? Is there a message here?  Read more ...

Zeitgeist the Movie

Statement from the author Peter J. - Thank you for your interest in Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist was created as a not for profit expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period of research and the current Source page on this site lists the sources used/referenced. Soon, an interactive transcript will be online with detailed footnotes and links.

T.E.D. - Ideas Worth Spreading

I've watched a bunch of these videos of lectures recently and have about 30 that I'm intending to post in the video section. Some of them are great! They're each about 20 minutes so they fit into a busy schedule pretty easily. To start I'd recommend Jane Goodall's "What separates us from the apes?" and Richard Dawkins' "An atheist's call to arms".

Lucid Dreaming

Lucid Dreaming is dreaming while you know you are dreaming. It specifically refers to the awareness of the dream while it is taking place. This can lead to control over different aspects of the dream, and open the dreamer up to experiences that would be impossible to have in waking life. Although control is often an attribute of a lucid dream, lucidity only refers to the awareness of the dream.

Becoming aware in a dream often makes the dream more vivid and memorable. To the human brain, dreaming an action, and actually doing the action is experienced in the same way. The only difference is that your body is paralyzed in sleep so you don't physically act out your actions.

To learn more about lucid dreaming and how to experience it check out the links below:

Can We Survive on the Moon?

Overcoming the hazards of lunar life may depend on exploiting the paradoxical potential of the moon's gritty dust.

When Neil Armstrong took “one giant leap for mankind” onto the surface of the moon in 1969, his booted foot sank into a layer of fine gray dust, leaving an imprint that would become the subject of one of the most famous photographs in history. Scientists called the dust lunar regolith, from the Greek rhegos for “blanket” and lithos for “stone.” Back then scientists regarded the regolith as simply part of the landscape, little more than the backdrop for the planting of the American flag.

No more. Lunar scientists have learned a lot about the moon since then.
