How to Time Marijuana Clones

I wrote a simple spreadsheet to help people who clone marijuana, using either a clone machine, air layer or some other method.

This page has a clone scheduler spreadsheet.

MMJ Pricing Model Spreadsheet

Use this spreadsheet to calculate the price of THC and CBD as components within bulk marijuana. This pricing model differs from the recreational market because the cannabis in question is merely an ingredient in a finished product (medible, tincture, concentrate, etc.) not something destined for a bong or a joint.

I-502 and the end of Prohibition in Washington State

I-502, passed by Washington voters last November, legalizes marijuana for recreational use by adults over 21. Here’s my take on what I-502 means, CBD vs THC, and the future of medical marijuana et al.

The Ordination of Tibetan Nuns, reviving the tradition

Because it takes a nun to ordain a nun and given that some lineages and traditions no longer have living nuns, how does the Sangha expand to include women? How do we jumpstart nuns without nuns? Well, here's a peek into what's going on to bring back nuns, our Precious Jewels.

My Valentine's Day Wish

My Valentine's Day wish is for you to be consumed with Love. Not to an individual but all sentient beings. A compassionate love, that which binds all of us. Example? Those doing prison work. Like the Dhamma Brothers movie. Here's the plot spoiler follow up. Then stream the original movie on Netflix.

Love yourself so that you may love others. I find the hatred I carry around poisons my heart more than anything else.

So lighten up on V Day. Ignore the pressure. Love those you are with. Love your self.

WA State Begins Implementing I-502, Legalized Marijuana

The Washington State Liquor Control Board begins public forums this week on the implementation of I-502. I-502 legalizes posession of up to an ounce of marijuana in WA state by adults over 21.

The public meetings are the first step to licensed growers, producers, and retailers. Legal pot, taxed and sold over the counter.

Coincidently, the newly elected governor will be speaking with the Attorney General this week about the contrast between federal and state laws in both Washington and Colorado.

I for one, can’t wait!

Slightly Naughty Jokes. Lots of them!

A wife called her husband at the bar the other night and in an effort to entice him home she said, "Hey sexy, just wanted to let you know there's a naked woman lying in your bed waiting for you."

"You two get started and I'll be home soon" definitely wasn't the answer she was looking for.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Free 2013 Calendars from Seattle Designer Jerry Whiting

SEATTLE - Dec 1, 2012 - Calendars for 2013 have been released by Seattle designer Jerry Whiting in time for the new year. Jerry has been sharing free, downloadable calendars for many years and this year's can be found on JetCityOrange [ JetCityOrange.com/calendar/ ]

A set of 4 calendars in Acrobat PDF format can be download for free. Three of this year's calendars include QR barcodes. When scanned with a smart phone, the different QR codes bring interactivity and added features to the calendars themselves. Some may consider the QR codes Easter Eggs.

The photographs in most of the calendars were taken by Jerry but unlike years past, there is no central theme or motif. "Instead of restricting myself to orchids, neon signs, or industrial abstractions, this year I chose images I liked for no other reason that they clicked for me. It freed me up to present what I wanted, how I wanted." said Whiting. "I'm much more excited about the QR codes this year because with the spread of smart phones and the recognition of QR codes as something worth scanning, I can bring new dimensions to my 2013 calendars."

One image is of a manhole cover, something most of us drive or walk over without every looking at it. One features street art and graffiti, a favorite subject of Jerry's, and another features a Buddha statue, something even more precious to Jerry.

The individual PDF files are large because they contain high res images and are meant to be printed edge to edge.

With a month to go in 2012 there's every reason to believe that one or more 2013 calendars will be released before year's end. It's been known to happen.

JetCityOrange is a Seattle-based site that features the whims and passions of Jerry Whiting [ JetCityOrange.com/faq/ ]. There are sections on a wide variety of topics spanning meditation & Buddhism, to computer security and Tor, to photography, food, and sound files. If you can't find something on JetCityOrange you like, either you didn't look hard enough or you should go back to watching TV.

Stuffing & Dressing: a pictorial guide

Many years ago, a friend called on Thanksgiving Eve and asked for a quick lesson in how to cook a turkey, stuffing and all. Being Italian, they'd always eaten lasagne et al. but never a "traditional" meal. I prepared a quick stuffing tutorial for her. Looks funny after all these years.

"Surf Quietly: shhhh… i’m online" talk in Seattle

Saturday November 10, 2012 6:00-7:30 pm

Ada Technical Books, 713 Broadway East, Seattle WA 98102

http://blog.seattletechnicalbooks.com/?p=607

Join local hacktivist Jerry Whiting as he presents "Surf Quietly", a suite of tools that lets you surf online securely while protecting your privacy. Modeled after the CryptoParty [ cryptoparty.org/wiki/CryptoParty ] held around the world, Jerry's presentation includes free handouts like Tor on a flash drive, CDs that boot you securely into Linux, and flash drives protected by TruCrypt. One or more free Tor servers will be given away to interested attendees. The "$3 Secret Sharing Hack" will be demonstrated (with the money given away).

"Surf Quietly" allows you to establish and maintain some measure of control over who tracks and monitors your activity online. The threats are real and growing more ominous by the day. If you don't protect yourself, no one else will. And if you're counting on your government, any government, to help you you're in for a big, fat surprise.

Come share what you know and take home some new playtoys. This is gonna be fun.

Jerry Whiting has a long history of playing with cryptography and encryption, and volunteers as a tech consultant for the Tibetan diaspora, the elders of the Black Panther Party, the #Occupy movement, and other social & political organizations worldwide. He teaches and lectures through assorted venues including Seattle Mini Maker Faire, ToorCamp, UW Experimental College, and #OccupySeattle IT. By day he's the Pres/CEO of Azalea Software, Inc., the last Aldus spin-off still standing [ www.azalea.com/about/ ], by night he's the character behind JetCityOrange [ www.JetCityOrange.com/faq/ ].
