This has been a long return coming. I first began research with only a Dream at Virginia Tech, in 1999 as a boy. Now I return with the vision, 20 years later, just a bit wiser and a definitely coming with a seasoned team. Thank you to all the allies, especially @nanosafeinc 🙏🏾 Theres so much to be excited about! 🙏🏾🔬⚙️ #FullCircle #startuplife #testing #building #working #planning #nanotechnology #STEM #advancedmaterials #TMMindustries #Blacksburg #Virginia #instagood #instagram #VirginiaTech #secondhome #motivation #thankful #grateful #blessed (at VT Corporate Research Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWt3opFZ-J/?igshid=1v4kfbi54fmk5

I’ve traveled 13,841 Earth-Sols. And considering both a global pandemic and revived civil rights movement, this is easily the shell shock of the quarter century. I’m overjoyed and there’s cause for concern also. - Fathers Day is going to be a lot different next year. Prayers needed. There’s a tidal wave of stuff happening in the World. Family & Friends welcome to support. Allies greatly needed. ✊🏾💯 #itsaboy💙 #thankful #grateful #blessed (at Salem, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBxrYWRFrT6/?igshid=xyluggbhvuwk

Thoughts on Organic Cherries

I’m usually known for my personal musings on life and reposting all of my IG content here, but today I wanted to take a moment to recognize an under appreciated member of the fruit-punch family: the cherry. Note, the sour cherries are the ones with the nutritional value, not the sweet ones.

Cherries are over-priced, but for good reason: you can’t automate their harvest. In other words, they’re handpicked globally to preserve the appearance and taste. All the tech and AI in the World probably won’t change that either. Not to mention they are notoriously difficult to keep alive, so with advances in hydroponics and vertical farming, this might be something I’d want to look at as an amateur farmer...
Demand will always stay high. I just look at my own consumption and use around me. Artificial flavorings in soda...preservatives and jams...it’s extracts could be used to make dyes and the trees create some of the best lumber feedstock for fine furniture in the World.

In conclusion, I’m thinking about growing some. We’ve got a family farm in Georgia that my aunt maintains and markets. If we expand, maybe we’ll give this a shot too. Hopefully we can come across some heirloom organic cherry seeds...that’d be the way to go. I’ll keep you all posted.

“If people are willing to look at the possibility that all Black men, and most all men and women in America, have suffered from unresolved PTSD most of our entire lives, it would give pause and more space for dialogue. If you are able to witness what has happened in this country and feel nothing, that would require outside help. Notice the disproportionate death of a people and influx of negative media attention that many have endured heavily for the last half-century; where are the long-lasting results of Malcom X and MLK, Jr?
I do not need to show proof of this any further than what is happening in our World as of May 29th 2020. The larvae 🐛 looses most of its appendages into the conversion of a creature than can fly 🦋 . In this way, America must rid itself of any institutions which perpetuate an erroneous belief system. The KKK and Neo-Nazi regime cannot exist today and that is what I feel when I think of George Floyd, as both a minority and Judeo-Christian. These acts must not be allowed to operate with impunity and we will not stand for those who would lift these ideals above the American flag from behind the protection of a badge.”

Inspired by my Grandfather’s admiration for the game and also a conversation about Mr. William Peregoy:
“When speaking about the World of Sport, it would behoove one to examine the Golf ball. Through the lens of Physics, no object is subjected to greater number of changing terrain and all four of the fundamental forces of the Universe. Rarely will you find a means by which unlimited aspects into life can be examined with emblematic ease.”

So I did something I never do...I compiled a list of tracks I’d bought on iTunes and never used. I went through a few and put together a list of tracks from the last decade (and beyond), including my own “Samurai Nights”...then I ran it one time and decided to post it☝🏾💉💿#oneshotmix - As I stated on @Mixcloud, this mix has one or two not perfect moments...and I’m cool with that because it was done by a man and not a computer. The more I hear pre-mixed computer generated sets, the more I fancy one or two “eh” moments by a real-life disc jockey. I’ll never be Kid Capri...but I’m far from Deadmau5 #DrumandBassMix #DrumandBassMusic #DJset #expression #travel #LiveMix #Noisia #makotoshimada #EvolIntent #nopremixedsetever #Virginia #thePsyence #DrumnBass #JungleMusic #different #JunglistMassive #instagood #instaDJ #downtime #fusion #electronica #intelligentdrumandbass #freestylemix #ilovethismusic #fun #thankful #grateful #blessed (at Librecycle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9woo7xFeEf/?igshid=jzs08towhqkp
