Death day of the inventor of morse code- who was also a painter!
Samuel Finley Breese Morse (April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872) was an American inventor and painter. After establishing his reputation as a portrait painter, Morse, in his middle age, contributed to the invention of a single-wire telegraph system based on European telegraphs. He was a co-developer of Morse code in 1837 and helped to develop the commercial use of telegraphy.

Ah, yes, the riveting tale of the Belay Test inventor—a gripping narrative as exciting as watching paint dry.

I would love to share random inventions and designs on here but the paranoia of having ideas stolen and/or misused is sometimes a hindrance. In most cases I wouldn't care and would gladly give my designs to worthy causes or interested individuals. Having no one to talk with about this sort of stuff beyond "ooh nice" is agonising.

As the grid loses power in heatwaves, and communities & landscapes face mounting extraction for battery supply chains, this video shows how we can make environmentally just transitions to solar at scale — cooking, heating, refrigerating food, and living our daily lives.
This is especially important in the context of mining, and furthers the vision of the newly announced Indigenous Peoples Principles and Protocols for Just Transition.
We're looking to support this vision in urban and residential areas through new housing projects, resilience hubs, and retrofits/conversions to existing buildings. If you're interested, we're very up to collaborate and connect with new partners on that!
Finally, please watch and share! We're hoping for a lot of people to see this, and watching till the end helps algorithms recommend it to more people. Hoping to bring a lot more of the conversation to this direction.
