And I even had its theme song in my iTunes.

I was thinking more of the fountain, but for the babe, I'm going with St. Helen (Love Theme) by Goblin.

Of course I know that. We were hoping to see you that weekend.

And thanks for the offer. We actually have a place to stay in Palo Alto, which isn't exactly ideal for immediate access to the Bay Area, but it's free!

hmm...

Yeah the whole maker culture thats springing up is pretty sweeeeet

Fuck it, let the fish learn how to breathe oil.

The big brick is similar to what they tried.

Since the oil is gushing out of the hole, it is at a higher pressure than the force exerted by the water above the hole.

Water pressure = .03593 lbs per square inch x 12 inches/foot x 5000 ft depth = ~2170 psi. The oil pressure is higher than this. No matter how big the brick is, the pressure below it will be greater than the pressure on its top surface, and it will be pushed up. Unless the brick is sealed and anchored to the seabed, it will get out. As they found out, trying to pump the oil-water mix is the big problem.

My leading idea at the moment is to set it on fire right above the hole. Pump large amounts of oxygen down, then a heat source to get it ignited. Would need to make an oxygen ring to fit around the hole. And have a big air separation plant on a barge nearby to make the oxygen from air, and a power barge for the electricity. These are available for rent.

C12H26(liquid) + 18.5O2(gas) = 12CO2(gas) + 13H2O(gas) would be the rough equation, which works at 2200 psi. I just picked that hydrocarbon as a representative species, which is liquid at low temperatures. Heat release would be about 12 KW per kg, which is probably enough to keep it burning. A gas pocket would form around the hole, then the gas would come to the surface. Given the situation, a little more CO2 won't really hurt.

Ha! Everyone is giving him too much credit. I think he was just interested in our shrimp and pizza.

A printing press, a counting machine, a stenograph machine, a pneumatic machine, a machine for testing the combustibility of oils, some experimental cars / bikes, etc.

yes id def. go to london. oh cool, that sounds awesome.
i've only ever been to one show that was interactive
with the audience, and that was a burlesque show.

scotland looks beautiful! alot of the scotland scenery
looks very much like our new zealand scenery.
i dig scottish accents haha.

Doubtful, but who knows?

Unless something breaks?

I'm wanting to settle in the Bay. It's like what you're doing, but less decisive, and on the other side of the world with no visa.
