Woke refreshed after camping last night ..The air is cool and fresh here.. nothing like the past week.. thank g-d !
Absolutely wonderful day at the Gathering of the Vibes today. The real festival starts this evening (now.. actually.. I’m listening to Yonder Mountain String Band as I type). We spent the day setting up Gary’s Solar Bus for the zillions of hippies that will visit over the next couple of days. Our mission is to explain the benefits of solar energy .. and how it works.. We have a bunch of great folks here.. I’m particulary proud of my two UVM Senior design project tea members who have brought their IBM-sponsored senior project here to show off. more pics of that tonight..
It’s been so great hanging out with them.. and with the UVM folks who are here with their projects, and with the other exhibitors.. and most of all with all the random hippies who have stopped by today..
here are jasmine and bryan .. two of the buss-ites.. they’re workign the carbon cutters site next door (What the heck is carbon cutting ? )

Just finishing prep for a biz trip. Leaving early I tomorrow, then going to the gathering of the vibes music festival with the team I mentored from the UVM senior design course. We recruited them to the project with the idea that they would take their device to a music festival.. And by golly were going to do it.
I had a really busy day at work.. And still tons to do… But I need to get some sleep.. I took a few hours tonight to go to an organizing meeting of the Vermont Makers.. Great folks doing something really good for the geeks and geeketts of our region.
Just as the meeting was over, I asked our hostess, Rebecca's to try out my new light up hoop. I asked her to turn out the lights and the second I said that, there was a huge flash of lightening and a crack of thunder and the whole street went black.. Very dramatic.. I like to think, that Sam is behind the many electrical distu
Ranches that follow me around like that…
the and spent an hour rebuilding a power supply for the led peace sign for the front of Gary's bus..it still hot and muggy and rainy.. I just came in drenched with remain and sweat..
Nice evening.. My brother in law joe and sister in law pat are here just for the night.. They're on their way between joe and Diane's ancestral home of endicott ny and Boston . It was quite a long way out of their way.. But were glad they made the trip Their son, my … Nephew , Vincent is a junior at BU majoring in classics and neuroscience.. We've had a great night of catching up and looking at pictures.. And floating in the pool.. The heat continues… Right now were all slouching on the couches trying to stay cool..
