Day the Earth Cried Mankind Noticed
posted by Steven Barrymore

For Earth Day 2009 I designed some products for my Zazzle site BlockQuoteProducts. One item was a bumper sticker: Day the Earth Cried Mankind Took Notice.

That statement seems so relevant today with the Gulf Oil Spill. Take care of our good planet — Earth.

Typewriter With A Split Personality
written by Steven Barrymore

I am a sucker for technology, old school and new. I came across a combination of old and new tech in a YouTube video that really caught my attention.

Developer Jack Zylkin, a is a reclusive genius with 57 cats, according to his website USBTypeWriter, has made available in DIY Kit and finished product The USB Typewriter for the Apple iPad. I had to watch the YouTube video several times to take in the sheer simplicity and genius of this USB Typewriter device. If you love the glimmer and shine of new technology yet admire the old days of low tech, you too may watch this video demo more than once.

Would Tesla Be Proud?

Would Tesla Be Proud?
written by Steven Barrymore

Society is turning green and not with envy — with environmental conservation devices and systems shrinking in size, offering a bigger bang for the buck.

Solar Aero, a New Hampshire based alternative-energy organization has developed a wind turbine generator. And this is not a towering, bird chopping blade machine. It is a compact unit based, according to Solar Aero company website, on a 1913 Nikola Tesla patent for a bladeless fluid turbine (see Wikipedia Tesla Turbine for details).

Solar Aero’s completely enclosed model avoids drawbacks of bladed turbines such as noise, radar interference, visual pollution and wildlife injuries — while retaining high efficiency ratings. (1)

When I saw this wind turbine device on Solar’s website, it looks like a squirrel cage fan used in HVAC systems. I could see these wind turbines being part of the roof structure on residential homes, lessening the residential need to be on the power grid.

These wind turbines appear not to be available yet pending further funding. However, if they do become available — I think they will take off.

a channel of abundance that will manifest
written by Steven Barrymore

I have attended the Unity Center Church in Walnut Creek, CA, and have recently read in their email newsletter that they are going through change.

” This is the step we are working on now. Some of you know that the bank that had committed to support our Love in Action project withdrew from making construction loans for churches.

If you can assist them with their project, please read the Unity Blog and take action.

28 Days to a More Magnetic Life review

28 Days to a More Magnetic Life review
by Sandra Ann Taylor
Review by Steven Barrymore

Got 28 Days. You bet ya do.  So why not use those 28 days for your benefit?

Sandra Ann Taylor’s book 28 Days to a More Magnetic Life breaks down each of the 28 days into daily actions such as, Becoming Conscious, Letting Go of Lack, Living in Spirit. Daily actions are broken down into four steps, Intention, Reflection, Activities to promote the intention and Affirmations. The intention sets the stage of self-reflection leading to activities to promote the intention and affirmations to support that intention. Each daily action spans about five pages of this pocket paperback book.

I read Sandra’s book during a very challenging time in my life. I was all a buzz with personal issues. As I read 28 Days to a More Magnetic Life, my buzz started to calm down. I began to focus on what I could do to benefit my life. I moved from chapter to chapter with ease. Each chapter is written clearly and to the point. Unlike most motivational books I have read, there are no filler pages here.  Each page relates to the previous and flows to the next. And the great feature of this book is, you can start on whatever day you want. Start on Day 14, or read the book from back to front.

Start to notice the countless choices you’re faced with every day. Just because something falls into the category of a habit doesn’t mean that it’s not an ongoing and present choice. Healthy attitude decisions are based on positive beliefs and uplifting interpretations. (p.83)

28 Days to a More Magnetic Life may not turn you into the Magneto character from the series X-Men, but with daily reading you can create a more attractive life. I plan on keeping this book close. It makes a better option to all those sheets of paper with affirmations written down on them.

This book would make a nice holiday gift, or just a gift for yourself. At $7.00 you can have one at work and at home. And maybe with daily reading you can calm down that buzz in your life.

28 Days to a More Magnetic Life, author Sandra Ann Taylor, publisher Hay House Inc., ISBN 978-1-4019-2390-7, $7.00 paperback. My thanks to Starbringer Associates for providing a copy of this book at my request for review.
