Appearance By Mr. Ben-Eli 3:00 PM May 2 2008 At Tubac (Arizona) Community Center

Submitted by Joshua_Landess on Tue, 2008-04-29 18:24.

Hello:

A friend of a friend contacted me to let me know that Mr. Ben-Eli will (I'm told) be speaking at 3:00 PM May 2 at the Tubac (Arizona) Community Center. I hope that I am stating the details correctly. I cannot find any links or information about this online by which to check my information.

I was going to pass along this event information to a Sustainable Tucson discussion forum, in case others wanted to attend when I realized that I had no link that I could send along.

Let's get more kids excited about math and science!

Submitted by mathguy on Wed, 2007-02-28 20:07.

I went to a play about Buckminster Fuller in San Francisco about five years ago with the kids, and they LOVED it!

But how often do kids get a chance to get excited about math and science? "And how CAN they get excited about it?" many will ask.

Well, then answer is not new. It's age-old. It's all about the right teacher. I think old Bucky would agree.

Update on recent changes in our website

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2006-11-08 11:03.

Hi All,

I wanted to write a quick note to apologize for the email and site trouble that you might have experienced in the last week with our website or with trying to reach us at our @bfi.org emails. We have been trying to move our website to a new hosting platform and yesterday I decided to pull the plug and switch back to our old hosting company since the service proved to me even more unstable than our current host. We are in the process of locating another hosting company and hopefully giving it another go during the weekend.

Who owns Fuller's patents?

Submitted by The Artful Dodger on Tue, 2006-09-05 12:43.

Are Fuller's patents owned by his estate? Is permission needed to utilise his designs or are they in the public domain since his death?

RENEWABLE ENERGY FUND IDEAS

Submitted by DomePiper on Fri, 2006-09-01 00:03.

Greetings Everyone!!
As of 8/21/2006, I announced on my website that at least half of all monies made by my various record sales/downloads will go to a RENEWABLE ENERGY FUND tentatively called The Rusty Nails Renewable Initiative. I am open to various ideas or projects dealing with the actual physical implementation of renewable energy systems in our society. I would fully appreciate any ideas and of course any factors to consider. Currently, I'm thinking of something to do with Photovoltaics since I'm quite familiar with them. Case in point, I have a grid-tie system on the roof of my current house. Perhaps a system on top of school or something like that. CHEERS AND MANY THANKS!!!!!

Recent outage on bfi.org

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2006-08-23 13:31.

Hi,

I just wanted to quickly give an update on the recent server outage on bfi.org. Our site went down at approximately 10am EST yesterday (8-22-2006) and stayed down until about noon today (8-23-2006). The site went down rather abruptly yesterday when i was trying to update a posting. After waiting for about 5 hours I finally heard back from our ever so responsive hosting provider (site5.com) informing me that there is some kind of a problem with too many database connections being opened at the same time (the maximum that they allow is 15).

What do you think about high IQ people?

What happened to the Bucky in the news google news feed?

Submitted by Joshua Arnow on Tue, 2006-07-25 21:50.

I found the rbf in the news feed a valuable source of timely info. Some of it was rather obsure but often it provided a heads up on important fuller related news. Was the baby thrown out with the bath water? If the google news feed on bucky is history then I suggest a permenant link on the left column to a nicely curated and regularly updated collection of Buckminster Fuller In The News which can be found at http://www.cjfearnley.com/buckminster.fuller.news.html
