Friday the 13th, the date not the movie

Are you even the bit superstitious about Friday the 13th? No, I'm not talking about the damn movie.

After ignoring Pinterest for far too long, I finally setup a number of pins that point into JetCityOrange.

It's sort of a visual index into JetCityOrange. But then again, isn't that what Pinterest is? A visual peek into external sites.

My Family's Eggnog Recipe

What is sold in cartons in the grocery store ISN'T eggnog. Or at least it's not real eggnog.

Spent Coffee Grounds

Living in Seattle I must say spent coffee grounds are available at any coffee house in town. Start composting them indoors or outside. You can even grow mushrooms on them.

Lava Lamp, the time lapse version

Who doesn't love Lava Lamps? The flow, the blob, the endless random changes.

What if I told you my Lava Lite not only made the local evening news but the story hit the wire services and went nuts.

True story.

The Recipe Sliderule: Open Source Software for the Cannabis Industry

The Recipe Sliderule is a free open source tool that applies the THC and CBD levels in marijuana to setting doses for medibles like candy, baked goods, tinctures, and other concentrates.

The Recipe Sliderule is available as an Excel spreadsheet and online as a Google Sheets.

How to Copy Macros Between Excel Spreadsheets

Azalea Software Releases Fun New Excel Macro With An Excellent How-to

SEATTLE-25sep14- flipText is a small Excel macro that easily reverses the order of text in a spreadsheet.

The How-To clearly explains, step-by-step, how to copy an Excel macro from one spreadsheet into another.

"Most Excel users have never really worked with custom macros before. So the idea of copying a macro is beyond most people's comfort zone. The flipText macro is fun enough to get their attention, and from there they may find using macros less intimidating." says Miranda Pinero, President & CEO of Azalea Software, Inc. "To help distribute this simple tutorial, we released flipText as open source software under a Creative Commons license."

"Cannabis: chemistry & cooking" talk

“Cannabis: chemistry & cooking”
7-8:30 pm Mon Nov 18, 2013
Jigsaw Renaissance
The InScape Bldg, 815 Seattle Blvd S. Seattle 98134

With the legalization of marijuana behind us, it’s time to turn our attention to the science of cannabis. Let’s set the myths and hearsay aside and learn how cannabis really works. “Cannabis: chemistry & cooking” is a free lecture that presents the science of cannabis addressing questions like:
- Are the various strains really that different? How & why?
- What’s in cannabis besides THC?
- Why is everyone talking about CBD?
- What’s the science behind smoking, eating, & other ingestion methods?
- How can I become a cannabis nerd?

Prohibition and the war on drugs spread lies and disinformation, depriving us of basic science and botany. While the body of scientific research continues to shed light on the healing effects of medical marijuana, somehow it never seems to make the mainstream media. Let’s change that by starting the conversation among ourselves.

As we learn more about marijuana, both as individuals and as a society, we’ll make better decisions about personal usage, laws & policy, and how to grow and prepare our own medicine the more we know.

Whether you attend or not, please feel free to review the lecture slides: http://goo.gl/ovX55A

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.
