Comment on video Colorful sunrise / convection at sunset – 25 June 2020

UND Atmospheric Sciences – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVvaJnSsri0 No numbers? No radar correlations? No models? No satellite correlations? No corrections for sun angle and lighting? No temperatures or pressures or wind speeds? No science? I expected more from “Atmospheric Sciences”. At least put two cameras and do a little 3D estimation. Frame to frame correlations and velocities? Estimate

Comments on a video tour of Cern’s Atlas facility

360° tour: ATLAS Experiment – Inside CERN’s largest detector! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On1WbLKP8DA Dear Atlas at Cern: There are two purposes for a video like this. One is to simulate what physical visitors do and see if they ever have a chance to visit. You show the parking lot, door, elevator, tunnels, and things. You show things from

Comment on Virtual Family Trees for Ancestry and the Internet

Even though it might seem extra work, I might log into another account, but rather than make me the manager, I leave them as owner and manager, and invite myself as a DNA collaborator, and invite myself to their tree as Editor. Life is long and the people you help should have some measure of

Current activities, The Internet Foundation, Aug 2021

For the Internet Foundation I try to track all global sensor networks. One of the dramatic changes the Internet allows is integration of data from many different sensors – cameras, telescopes with cameras, microscopes with cameras, electromagnetic, gravitational, seismic, acoustic. I am trying to get them all to have standards for archiving and sharing, standards

Post on the Facebook “Allsky Camera” group about satellite transits of star and other things

https://www.facebook.com/groups/172438633343696 Dear Allsky, I went through over a thousand live webcams on the Internet to see what people are sharing live now. My estimate is somewhere around 10,000 overall. Many of them have half sky (show half the image with sky) and in those they will capture comets, meteors, satellites, stars, planets, planes and many

Some Notes on applications for MEMS gravimeters and their global calibration

Marley, For the last 20 years or so, I have been tracking gravimeter developments, hoping one day they could be developed enough to use in low cost gravitational imaging arrays. I don’t have my notes on what I wrote to you.  My memory is that I saw you were at “earth tide” sensitivity. That is

Solar system colonization – needs and opportunities, “working globally” becomes “working solar system wide”

With LEDs going to lower and lower energies, moving electrons is probably less expensive than digging holes and trying to concentrate the rather thin light on Mars. I was gathering what groups and resources are needed to send small nuclear packages to Mars to provide the energy needed. The old dream of atomic energy was

New Video – Some NOAA Visualizations Data Projections More Gravity Sun Moon Global Cooperation

Some NOAA Visualizations Data Projections More Gravity Sun Moon Global Cooperation https://youtu.be/4waIa-2tMlY My comments and a few suggestions. Then another pitch for global cooperation, and for help with gravimeter arrays to scan the atmosphere, the oceans, the earth interior, the moon, sun and planets and moons. Richard Collins, Director, The Internet Foundation The video refers
