I wish I could work at UBC one day. I admired and loved the campus and the students that were there. If I was to start there this weekend, at UBC, I would do the following.

All students/professors would get a personal mind clock that runs on a phone that helps focus the brain for creativity/innovation/complex science for Good. Would be an enroll gift and access to it to install and use. I have been investigating different forms of mind safety using the sun, moon and the planets. And settled on a design for the sound of life, creating a unique sound of time visualization for the day and the clock.

Ecology - sound of life. Wanted to continue the research from Karen Bakker to better understand the sounds of life and how we can better nurture it and assist the preservation of farming, food and our lovely forests. Reducing wildfires and perhaps even better understanding tectonic plate movements to predict severe earthquakes and volcanoes, to give warning and country emergency planning.

Computer Science, I want to investigate getting more out of less. Investigating the lower levels of compute to leverage a CPU. It was possible to render video and images of CPUs that had less than pentium II chips that ran at a clock frequency of 300Mhz, why is it today that we have 3/4/5GHZ clock frequency processors that run with 8 cores that do exactly the same. Why haven’t we investigated the lower bit based storage and processing of that data to leverage modern processors to get accelerated software that is discrete, producing perhaps the ability to stream multiple video renders from a Formula 1 race.

The same being applied to the bandwidth and networking, it was possible to download an mp3 from an IRC channel in late 90s and today we stream music on Spotify. What is it that we should investigate the TCP/IP stack to innovate new methods of data transfer and re-usability.

AI and the use of GPUs and the expensive task of using electricity, why couldn’t we return to the use of intelligent search indexes that even Google had with their early Google desktop search, that created an index that you could search locally, today in all Macbooks there are neural cores, why isn’t it possible to better analyze and index data for intelligent questions and answers. This would be great for students to build their own research indexes that are private from scarce literature, it’s the curation of the content that makes intelligence rather than a LLM model that indexes billions of tokens.

With the newly released Microsoft based RTX Spark laptops look amazing for offline AI compute also. Wanting to index books as a literal AI bot that is curated and custom to academics. Being able to perhaps to talk to Charles Darwin but tuned based on the individuals working on it in private, not one large model of AI that all use, that can run on one machine. Indexed and custom data be added, curated and customized for the difficult problems we have today such as ensuring food seeds germinate, forests survive the growing wildfires, disease control, creativity and innovation from specific groups of people that are private.

I want to work with the world scientists to monitor earthquake data, rising pressures on techtonic plates, to create a world predicator calculator/predictions of volcano activity. With the a RTX spark laptop, I want to analyze all the data and create predictions such that we can accurately predict and give countries early warnings of destruction that is rising with the global electric storm we are having right now and is not stopping. Giving families, farms and people a chance to survive.

Investigate and construct devices the size of a water bottle to change micro climates to stop Tornados as soon as they hit key critical cities, farms and families. I believe that the solution lies with creating micro-front climates that eject low temperature airs into the edge of the Tornado. These devices could be setup around key cities, farms, produce and homes to ensure their protection.

The device would be constructed around the following design thoughts:

• Low powered, solar charged and ready to be 'fired' into the tornado
• A nitrogen or other dry ice compound to be ejected far up into the atmosphere, if required, could be built on towers, knowing that the towers would be ripped into the tornado, and then when the pressure changes in the monitoring sensors the device can then deploy the micro-front.
• This exploration of micro-front creation devices to rapidly change the pressure in a small scale climate can then be used for other applications to adapt the environment and the weather.
