Imagine being able to memorize the order of cards in an entire deck (or two) as quickly as they can be dealt. The secret of the card counters is a secret no more. Using the memory palace technique below you, too, can memorize a random deck of cards in order with one viewing. It takes a little time to set up, but once you’ve got it down, you’ll be able to amaze your friends. Steps * Build a memory palace. A memory palace is a place in your mind (often based on a real place) with many rooms that you can “place” things or people in that you can associate with things you need to remember. Then, when you need to recall those things, you mentally “walk” through the rooms. Constructing a memory palace takes a little time and persistence, but once you have it, you can use it for just about anything you need to remember. * Memorize the following sequence: * A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9 O=0. Note there is no ten, only 0. Zero becomes O (sounds like oh) for convenience. It looks... See less

Wells in our area average nearly 1000 feet deep. This is “historical” water which will never be replaced. At today’s prices, a well would cost in the neighborhood of $25,000 — far in excess of our budget. Ever since we visited New Zealand almost 20 years ago, we have thought about catching and storing the rain from our roof. There we found New Zealanders, rich or poor, collected the rain from their roofs and stored it in barrels or tanks. Wells were the exception rather than the rule, municipal water system almost non-existent. Why not do the same thing in our part of the Sonoran Desert where rainfall averages about 12 inches per year? We have over 3000 square feet of roof surface to collect rain water between the greenhouse and new straw bale house. TO FIGURE HOW MUCH WATER IS COLLECTED: approximately 600 gallons of rain water is collected for every 1000 square foot of collection area for one inch of rain. Thus one inch of rain produces about 1800 gallons of water and comes close to... See less

Julian Beaver I stumbled upon the anamorphic street chalk drawings of Julian Beaver, a English artist who can take 100% flat images he creates and brings them into 3-D by the art of morphing. By looking at the anamorphic images from the correct angle, the picture seems to defy the laws of perspective. All I can say is wow! See less

Folding paper money (or "money origami") is my one true creative output. My best original designs include spiders, eyeglasses, sailboats, and framed portraits. I got started in high school when I learned how to make a ring out of a dollar bill. I generally make these items to leave as tips. A friend of mine keeps telling me "You should write a book...you could make a lot of money." My slogan is: "Everyone is good at something. Me, I'm good at spending money." As I get time, I'll enter in the steps for creating a few of them: See less
