We are a step closer to lunar exploration with Jeff Bezo’s announcement of the Blue Moon Lander last week, a resusable ship that will allow us to regularly visit the moon and bring cargo.  What’s next, an Amazon movie studio and hotel on the moon? We take a closer look..

And this week we have the pleasure of speaking with the founder of the Maker movement, Dale Dougherty, about this year’s Bay Area Maker Faire at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds this coming weekend. The Maker Movement is now international with local maker faires happening practically everywhere. Find out what’s hot this year. Enjoy!

Interview - Annelise Schinzinger on her new book, The Art and Science of Caregiving- Stories of Inspiring Elders with an End-of-Life Guidebook

Listen Now to Annelise Schinzinger

Annelise learned about the importance of competent and loving caregivers when she was recovering from a serious illness at 19. She applied what she had learned when her grandmother and mother were dying. At twenty-seven, her grandmother’s passage took her fear of death away because it was so peaceful. She found herself spending time with elders who showed her how to live, and how to die. Caring for her mother was so profound that she left the corporate world and became a hospice caregiver.

Twenty years later, she was telling a friend about the wise and remarkable elders she had the privilege of caring for. Her friend exclaimed, “You have to write these stories down!” Annelise eagerly started writing, and over the next seven years, her book expanded into a comprehensive guidebook. 

I think you’ll enjoy hearing Annelise share a few of her stories with us, and a few insights she has in the caring of elders in their final chapter. Enjoy.

Listen Now to Future News 4.30.2019

A wide ranging conversation this week, from discussing NASA’s plans to save us from asteroids to actually listening to the Sun to evidence of Yeti, the Big Foot of the Himalayas. And there is new evidence that the universe is expanding 9% faster than we thought, making the universe about 2 billion years younger at 12 billion years.. And how can we forget Mrs. Future’s empassioned arguments for keeping our extraction technologies in balance, so the the planet can continue to support us in the grand style to which we have become accustomed? I try to proffer another view, but.. anyway, enjoy!!

Very sad about Notre Dame Cathedral, especially considering we had recently visited the church in Paris.  We have a couple of videos we made in homage to that sacred place, found on our links page. More cool space art out there to amuse and abhor, Bobby Wilder calls on with some info on treating Altsheimer’s with light, and Tesla is pulling out all stops on their neural networked autonomous driving program. Enjoy!
