Interview - Meg Blackburn Losey, author of Children of Now, Evolution

Listen Now to Dr. Meg Blackburn Losey

Dr. Meg is an international speaker and author of 9 books, including the popular “Children of Now,”about kids born into this world with innate wisdom and various gifts of knowing. Her latest book delves more deeply into the knowledge these children are disseminating to the adults of today. On our show, she shares some of these messages from the kids and how they have reached out to her to help disseminate their communications to us.  One group of the children are all about the planet and technology and inventing new things, while another are more focused on the intuitive arts, movement, and healing.  Meg is a great speaker, and we think you’ll enjoy hearing her and what she has to share.

A tweet from Elon and all the world is abuzz about instant access global internet! Could this be?  And a new updated Raspberry Pi computer at the retai price of $20?  Just wow.. and a real treat this week is the new president of the Santa Cruz Film Festival, Chris McGilvray, who comes into the studio to discuss the Fest with his buddy, Greg Peroff,  who keeps us entertained with his Don LaFontaine voice-over impressions and other acts of voice play.  It’s a great lineup of films for the Festival this week, most with trailers, all accessible at the Festival website. This year they are Rethinking the film experience, experimenting with some unusual venues for the films, such as the industrial roasting room of a coffee company! And then there are the post-screening parties.. 

And because our guests are more visually-oriented in their art form, we are posting a video of their appearance on Dr. Future (thanks Ed Ellsworth).

Future News - Space Accidents Update, Running Robots, Portable Nuke Fusion Reactor Revealed, Electromagnetics for Autism, Captain Crunch Calls in

Listen Now to Future News 11.04.14

Last week was quite hard for two private space companies, Orbital Sciences Corporation, with the loss of their Antares rocket, and the crash of Virgin Galactic’s Space Ship Two.  Unfortunately, one of the pilots on Space Ship Two lost his life, a local son, Michael Alsbury, from Scott’s Valley, California.  Very sad.  

It’s looks like we are learning lots about teaching our robots how to run from studying running birds, especially turkeys.. As long as I’m not being chased by a velociraptor!  You’ll enjoy this segment, based on research found in this article.

Nuclear fusion had entered the headlines this week, because of an announcement from Lockheed’s famous Skunkworks, promising a working prototype within five years. We’ll see…

Meanwhile, Captain Crunch (aka John Draper) called in and gave us an update about what went on at Defcon, a major hacker gathering in Las Vegas.  He confirmed that fake cell phone towers are out there and working, cast doubt about electronic voting, and asked you all for help.  He is recovering from a serious back operation, an attempt to repair damage done by the mafia to him for refusing to give them the correct codes of his magical blue box, a 70’s device that allowed free long distance phone calls.  He’s been suffering a long time, and finally he is finding some relief.  Click here to read about his effort to raise the money for his operation and recovery expenses.
