book notes: A Modern Look at Straw Bale Construction

by Andrew Morrison with Chris Keefe

A Modern Book on Straw Bale Construction was self-published by Andrew Morrison’s company, Straw Bale Innovations, in January 2012. It was written as an accompanying written guide to his hands-on workshops on strawbale construction. This does mean it was published prior to the 2013 finalization of the IRC Appendix S, but since Andrew’s design method is fairly code-conservative I didn’t notice anything that stood out as not matching the current building code.

He’s collaborated on this book with Chris Keefe of Organicforms Design to present a number of detailed, labeled engineering drawings of possible wall and foundation schematics. These really add to the quality of the book.

The majority of strawbale books have some fraction of convincing you to build with strawbales, the history of bale houses, practical considerations, design considerations, general building advice and hands-on building advice. This book is one of the first I’ve read that is majority hands-on building advice, which makes sense given that it’s structured around his workshop building method.

The method Andrew focuses on is based upon post-and beam framing with strawbale infill, where the bales are then covered by welded wire mesh and plastered with lime plaster. He presents both the reasoning for why he has chosen this method throughout the book as well as lots of advice on how to implement it.

There’s also a not-insubstantial section in the beginning of the book on how to get code or bank loan approval of your strawbale project. The biggest advice he has is not doing the work yourself and relying on expert subcontractors for the non-baling work, which is obviously inconvenient for me personally, who’s been starting with the assumption I would need to do as much as possible by hand to ever afford this project 😉. I’m sure he’s correct, I’m just not sure the advice is possible for me to implement.

The only two things I was disappointed on in the book was the lack of details on how to commission or create the two DIY tools needed for baling under this method (stretching forks and bale needles), and the decision not to hyphenate the typesetting. (I dabble in bookbinding in my spare time and have become a complete snob about type spacing)

Meet the Enigma Ambassadors #5: Celeste Seberras

As part of a new series, Enigma will be highlighting some of the awesome Ambassadors helping us build a more decentralized future with our privacy solutions. Read on to meet them — and to learn how you can join us!

The new Enigma Ambassadors program is comprised of talented individuals who represent our project and communicate our technology and vision to their communities and industries. Our goal has been to build a program where everyone feels valued, learns daily, builds skills, and has direct access to the Enigma team. Being involved at the early stages of an ambitious blockchain project like Enigma is an incredible opportunity — and becoming an Ambassador can mean gaining lifelong friends and colleagues.

With over 40 Ambassadors now across 16+ countries, we are slowly building what we believe is the best core community in the blockchain space — curious, committed, and kind. Our Ambassadors bring many different skills and backgrounds to their work, including development experience, artistic talents, business acumen, community-building expertise, and much more.

Today we highlight Celeste Seberras, one of the awesome people behind Enigma’s success as well as our documentation. Read her story below.

“To me, privacy is more than a concept, a talking point or an afterthought — it is a way of life.”

Who are you?

My name’s Celeste, and I’m an Information Security Engineer and Technical Writer. I’m known professionally for my entrepreneurial spirit, writing skills and tinfoil hat, known personally for my blunt honesty, off-color humor and love of chinchillas.

I’ve always been the type of person who’s forever dissatisfied, from my personal achievements to the status quo — though while sometimes overwhelming, this trait has brought me down many paths in life, from international racing, heavy metal fabrication, launching several tech start-ups to even working in Africa. A habitual creature of solitude with a logician mind, I constantly crave stimulation in the form of information. I can often be found at home alone, researching or writing away until the earliest hours of the morning.

My personal interests vary greatly, but my passion is forever in my work. I have been in the privacy and open-source world for roughly five years now, shortly after becoming introduced to mixnets by the Tor Project (whom, incidentally, I’d end up doing an internship with down the road). Since then I have been fascinated by the potential that anonymity has to offer everyday people in the fight for a voice and unfiltered knowledge, as well as the underlying technology that makes it all possible. After an incalculable amount of hours self-teaching, a couple certificates, endless cups of coffee and equally as many sleepless nights in IRC, I became able to support myself with my work in the privacy industry and haven’t looked back since.

Why Enigma?

To me, privacy is more than a concept, a talking point or an afterthought — it is a way of life. I wake up and go to sleep thinking about technological and social impacts that the software I work with everyday brings to humanity, and it’s what ultimately kindles my inner flame. I’m also a pureblood anarchist, and I believe that every individual has the right to say, share or capitalize to their desire, and that the rights of a person end where the next ones begin.

Bitcoin showed us that we can exist outside of the legacy banking and global financial structure, leaving behind the limitations and servitude involved in centralized power and bodies of authority. The bad actors that comprise our many forms of institutionalism only hamper our personal liberties in the pursuit of collective self-interest; and in the process, effectively slow our development. The only way to reclaim our individual freedom is further extending the impact of existing cash and equity solutions as well as exploring the countless ways that blockchain, decentralization and privacy-focused systems can radically improve many prospects of our (at times, bleak) future.

More personally speaking — being so deeply involved in the privacy / FOSS spaces and having invested in decentralized assets for a while, it was really only a matter of time before I stumbled on Enigma. When I finally did, it was an instantaneous fascination. I had yet to see a blockchain project that was taking the dynamics of privacy and open-source seriously, in the ways that the existing industries had defined — this factor is a widely unacknowledged yet incredibly crucial part of a meaningful collaborative effort. Enigma has exemplified their willingness to learn and grow repeatedly, often looking to others as well as the greater community for insight and fresh perspectives. It is a project that I am proud to associate myself with and contribute to.

What do you enjoy working on?

As is likely abundantly clear at this point in the piece, I love technology — specifically anonymity, cryptography and open-source. Outside of these categories I have an stack of personal projects and interests, such as mixnets, tiny tech / SBCs, vintage laptops, OS development, containers and writing old-school CLI games.

Away from the keyboard things tend to get a lot broader. I’m a very musical person who’s played several instruments in my life, my favorite being the bass guitar. Writing has always been a strength of mine, and I have composed several pieces in my life, some of which are published (mostly in poetry). I also enjoy working with my hands, and have a wide variety of shop skills such as automotive, Arc/MIG/TIG welding, machining and carpentry. One of my businesses is a production company, which got me into photography and videography at one point — a more recent interest of mine. The list goes on.

My downtime is usually much less eventful, and is often filled with bingewatching cartoons or documentaries (what a combo, I know), playing nostalgic video games or tending to my four little beloved furbabies.

My chinchillas!

In the scope of Enigma: I am fortunate enough to be the technical writer behind the protocol documentation, something I very much enjoy working on. In the ambassador program I can be found giving a privacy-focused insight to the many working groups and the crew, as well as sporadically spamming our #random chat (possibly my most valuable skill).

“I believe this year (and the upcoming ones) will be remembered as the dawn of the ‘privacy awakening.’”

What do you want to see in a decentralized, privacy-oriented digital future?

What I personally look the most forward to on the technology side is the continued development of solutions that preserve the individual’s ability to share information, secrets and ideas anonymously, a fundamental part of a free and open society. Up until now this has mostly come in the form of censorship-resistant mixnets (such as Tor) as well as other open-source cryptographic solutions — but blockchain and other new developments in the decentralized space have given us an opportunity to take the vision another step further, potentially incorporating the ideals of liberty into countless other aspects of our lives, from governance to entertainment.

Socially speaking, I think our privacy-oriented future is already being molded. Many organizations have been on the frontlines of the ‘technological battlefield’ since the inception of the internet itself, developing privacy-preserving software and militantly defending our digital rights in courtrooms across the globe. Sadly, due to a combination of external factors, their work and warnings have largely fallen on deaf ears for far too long; it’s unfortunate that things have become as perverse as they are, though I believe this year (and the upcoming ones) will be remembered as the dawn of the “privacy awakening.”

The constant barrage of high-profile data breaches and legal battles has brought a very bright light onto the parties who’ve been taking advantage of us for so long. The public discourse has become more focused on privacy than ever before, and outrage at the exploitation that has occurred is reaching fever pitch. Paired with the continued distrust of traditional systems both financial and otherwise, I’m cautiously optimistic that we are on track to a more independent and decentralized future for all, in many respects. There will likely be incredible hardships and growing pains along the way, but it will be worth it to live in a world designed for openness, freedom and reason.

Why should someone become an Enigma Ambassador?

Because you get to work with me, of course!

[crickets]

You get to work with me, too!

In seriousness though, it’s a fantastic opportunity — other than the obvious ability to network with the many uniquely talented ambassadors in the program and having your skills and passion become assets, there is the chance to have one-on-one collaboration with the core team and the ability to learn about the project in all faucets, past the technology. In the program, there is no one that does not get their voice heard — everyone has a place at the table and the ability to help shape the future of the project with their ideas and contributions.

Ambassadors are also given the tools and knowledge about Enigma and the other ever-changing aspects of the blockchain landscape needed to effectively understand and share the benefits (and at times, downsides) of solutions with the wider community. My experiences thus far have been nothing short of fantastic, and I urge anyone out there who’s as enthusiastic about blockchain or privacy to come join us in decentralizing the future.
