Harlan Hubbard



Harlan Hubbard - The American Artist and Writer who lived a life of Henry Thoreau.


"To arise in the frosty morning at the point of daybrak, climb the hill and cut wood, while the sky lightens above the trees; to eat this wholesome, sweet food(;) to use my body, hands and mind at the endless work I have to do; to read by the firelight, to sleep warm and snug; all this shared and enjoyed by my loving partner – what manner of a man originated this idea of a happier life beyond death?"


– H.H., April 1955

Computer in a Briefcase

My computer is working great now, but while I was looking for a processor I had another great idea. I can buy an old briefcase, put a motherboard inside, cut some holes for ventilation, powersource, etc. – and there you have it - portable PC.

Computer


My laptop died the other day (the processor overheated because of bad ventilation). I was not in the mood of spending money on a new computer, since my old one was still good, so I went to the local small electronics/computer shop and got a used processor for $25.

Works great -Problem solved.

I think this idea can be applied to so many other problems/ideas in our lives.
