Everything went as expected.

So occupy oakland rioted, again. The general strike yesterday resulted in damage to stores, vandalism and mayhem. At least Men's Warehouse bowed to the .99% and was spared.

Thugs will be thugs I suppose.

The revolution has begun!

The revolution is upon us! Not the revolution that the marxist, communist, nazi goofballs from the infest wall street movement want, the hippie engine revolution. After the NYPD removed all the gas generators that were providing electricity to the squatter town, the realization hit that no one could update facebook without battery power. So the brilliant minds strapped little alternators to some stationary bikes. That charges a car battery which powers an inverter, which is hooked to a 120v AC to 9v DC transformer which powers something Steve Jobs built. Efficiency!
But, this can work directly towards propelling this project. If the hippies get used to making free electrons this way, then they might like it. Just like all the other crap the do that really sucks but the like it because it saves a polar bear or something. So once pedalricity gets to be a thing, we build large scale human powered electical stations and get them to do our bidding, er, save the planet.
"Oh yah William, you are doing a great job. Keep pedaling, I am going over here to watch the new Beavis and Butt-Head. You are a champion for mother earth."

Poop powered motorcycle story is full of......hot air.

So you may have seen this story floating through the intertubes earlier this month, a toilet trike powered by human poop is going on a month long tour of Japan. Well, no. A trike built by toilet company Toto, that extracts power from bio-mass sourced from local farms will tour the country to push said company's green iniatives. The toilet is just the seat and is non functional.
Now, while we here at The HEP applaud the advancement of hippie engine tech, the real story revolves around how green blogs fell over themselves to push the concept of human feces for energy. Most everytime I came across this story, it containted that same line of crap. No one seemed bothered to visits Toto's blog which states right off the git that Toilet Bike Neo DOESN'T RUN OFF POOP. Oh Well, whatever sells papers, er, digital ads.
