Me
In 1973 I joined as a volunteer with Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) in Britain. They sent me to Tanzania, East Africa, to work in the Bugando Hospital, Mwanza. My profession is radiography (the technology of making diagnostic images with X-Rays, Ultra Sound, Magnetic Resonance, etc).
Whilst on that assignment, my interest was sparked in the wide topic of "alternative technology," or "intermediate technology" as it is some times referred to. The implication is that "high-tec" methods designed for affluent countries often do not fit the more humble requirements of people who cannot afford them.
Instead there is a need to think smart, using local facilities and resources, in particular the local workforce, and design more appropriate methods which are affordable.
I have "dabbled" and delved ever since. Now, in retirement age, I have an urge to get more involved with enquiring, exciting, intelligent and resourceful people who might share my dream to "invent something useful."

The Story Behind My Site

The purpose of this site is to facilitate positive-thinking ideas; ideas that can, or might, help our Plant Earth overcome the excesses of our species.
Have you a fertile mind? Are you habitually thinking up schemes, having techno-brainwaves, dreaming up solutions-to-problems? I know the feeling! Do you find yourself wanting to chat to someone who is interested, and who wants to understand what you are saying? Maybe you can only find people who are mainly interested in religion, politics, sex or sport? I know the feeling!
I would love to attempt putting all of my ideas/inventions into action, yet life is too short. Some ideas will prove to be outrageously impractical, or based on false understanding of the science, etc. Just occasionally an idea will have some potential. So it has occurred to me that if the ideas were thrown to the universe, on the wind, someone might see one or more of them and get interested.

They might then: Throw the idea out the window; Reconsider the idea and delve further; Grasp the idea as just what they themselves had been thinking of; Or change things, redesign, get others involved, and perhaps even run with the totally metamorphosed concept.

So here they are, in this Site. Say what you will. May the wisdom of the Universe prevail.

Others Ideas
One of the aims within this site is to provide a Forum space, for people to share ideas. The exact set-up for this has not been worked out yet. I hope it will enable interactive debate to take place.
If anyone out there reading this has a particular expertise in the field of forums (forae? fora?) please let me know.
