Bio Computer

With every passing project I feel like my basement is being converted from a living only area, to a work and project area. Computers being built, gadgets being taken apart, Lego projects all around. I’m not complaining by any means, but I do feel as my basement becomes populated with more and more tech based projects that the environment is missing something organic, something natural to balance things out.

I’ve been interested in working on a project for while that would combine something tech-based with something organic. Mixing the two elements intrigued me for a while. I’ve wanted to add flowers, or maybe plants of some sort to blend a little bit of nature into the space. I do receive a bit of sunlight through a glass block window, but the temperature in the basement is usually on the colder side. In the winter I don’t really heat the space because the folding farm outputs enough heat to keep the temperature comfortable. I didn’t want to change that aspect so I needed to come up with something that would tolerate slightly cooler temperatures and limited sunlight.

I can’t exactly recall when the idea came to me, but at some point I started wanting to use the heat from a computer as a way to warm the soil and help with germination/growth. I’m about as far from a botanist as it comes, I did some reading online and became pretty interested in the effects of soil temperature on germination/growth. I read different studies and papers from various universities. It was not too long into that process that I became hooked on the idea of using computer heat as a way to control the soil temperature of some sort of living plant life.

As the idea developed further I started looking into wheatgrass as a plant option. There is something clean and natural about the look and idea of a piece of grass growing in my basement. I thought the look would alter the space a little bit and add a bit of color along with something more than just metals and plastics. After reading enough studies and papers on the effects of soil temperature and germination with wheatgrass I felt like I had a good enough handle on the basics to tackle this.

The first step was finding a computer to adapt for the project. Luckily I had a lot of donated computers that people had given me for various project purposes. Most of them didn’t work, but by cobbling together various components from a bunch of different old computers I was able to come up with enough good parts to make a working computer.

At the time I was starting to get a formalized plan together for this project, another idea popped into my head. I’ve got a 5 yr. old who is already fairly geeky (just ask him to do his Jabba the Hutt impression for you) but he really does not get that much computer time. He’s getting to an age where he’s more inquisitive about tech stuff and I think he’s ready for his first computer. Since I was already well underway with this project it seemed like a perfect opportunity to orient the computer itself towards a learning tool for him in addition to using it as a way to blend something organic with a piece of technology.

With all of these goals in mind I started tinkering away. The computer hardware itself was nothing fancy, definitely outdated, but perfectly suited towards this project.

If you’ve spent any time around computer hardware in the last decade you’re probably well aware that Pentium 4 has a reputation for running hot. The 90nm Pentium 4 was named Prescott and it didn’t take long before the nickname Pres-hot popped up. In this case though that extra heat is going to be put towards good use.

Once the hardware was all in order I started working on the layout and arrangement for the case. I had originally envisioned the grass growing out of the top of the computer case. This seemed like it would provide a good blend between the hard edges of the computer and the soft feel of the grass. This also worked well with putting the soil area in the upper portion of the case, where the most heat should collect. After doing some initial tests with this configuration I found the measured temperature near the top of the case was the hottest. The placement of the CPU near the top of the case and the lack of airflow in that area contributed to these higher recorded temps.

After finishing with some initial tests I decided to completely strip the case down and start removing all the unnecessary brackets and pieces inside of the case. Like most computer cases all the internal brackets and mounts are riveted together, so I drilled all the rivets out of the components I wanted to remove and pulled them out. The gutted case looked pretty barren after being stripped.

In keeping with my original plan of having the computer blended with the organic grass I wanted it to be easy to see the inner workings of the computer and also the soil from the grass growing above. I needed something that was translucent, which left me with either glass or acrylic/polycarbonate as my options. I ended up choosing acrylic because I was able to find a cheap, used, die-cast model car display case top that was the perfect dimensions for the top of the case. Couldn’t go wrong for 5 bucks.

I test-fit the acrylic over the top of the computer case and marked my layout on the top of the case. My plan was to cut open the top of the computer case and insert the acrylic display case into the section I cut out. To cut open the top of the computer case I drilled a hole as a starting point and then used tin snips to cut through the thin gauge metal.

Once I had the metal opening cutout, I needed something to put along the edges of the freshly cut opening to create a clean and finished look. For $2 I was able to find some black, car-door-edge, plastic molding that worked perfectly.

After getting the opening of the top of the computer handled and the acrylic case properly fitted, I moved onto some more testing with soil in the acrylic and the computer running. I wanted to see what kind of heat transfer I would get and how it would affect the soil temperature. I knew that using acrylic over glass would make it a little more difficult to heat the soil as acrylic is not that good at transferring heat. Luckily though I didn’t really need to alter the soil temperature that much, I just needed a little extra heat. Testing showed that heat transfer with just the single acrylic display case as my soil container was slow. So I decided to add some acrylic tubes. This would allow more surface are for soil to acrylic contact and also give me an area where I could add a mixed substrate to allow for soil drainage.

I went online and found a 3ft long section of 2 1/4″ clear acrylic tubing for $8 dollars. I wanted to add a couple of hanging cylinders off the main of the acrylic display case in the top of the computer case. To do this I needed to cut holes into the bottom of the display case. Cutting holes in acrylic is not always easy, it’s likely to chip and craze at the edges. To get around this I used a buildup of masking tape on both sides of the acrylic, to provide a little bit of resistance and strength. I placed the acrylic display case back into the computer and marked my layout for the tubes. I needed to leave clearance for the CPU cooler, power supply and hard drive mount.

After marking the layout, I used an air-powered pencil grinder and carbide tipped bit and cut through the acrylic case along my marked lines. After the initial shape was cutout I used a tube piece as a template and slowly worked on grinding the holes as perfectly round as I could get them so that the tube had a snug fit all the way around. The fit is pretty important as the acrylic cement that I used needs there to be a tight fit so that the acrylic can bond correctly.

Acrylic Case Modifications

I placed the tubes into the acrylic case and mounted it in the computer and test fit the placement and height of the tubes. After getting everything lined up and oriented correctly I moved towards bonding the acrylic together. Using a needle dropper applicator I applied the cement to all the joints. After letting it set overnight I came back the next night and applied a thin coating of clear silicone caulk around all the joints just to ensure they were completely water tight

Acrylic Tube Sections

Acrylic Tubes

The next step was sealing up the bottom of the acrylic tubes. I looked at a couple of different options before realizing that the discs I had cut out of the acrylic case to fit the tubes would be almost the perfect size. Using a bench grinder and a test piece of tube I slowly ground each disc to the perfect size for a tight fit all the way around. I placed the clear acrylic discs into the bottom of each tube and repeated the same cementing and silicone caulking procedure to ensure they were water-tight. After a couple of days’ worth of drying I tested the case by filling it with water overnight and checking in the morning to make sure that no leaks had popped up.

In order to hold the weight of the acrylic case after adding soil, I drilled and installed a machine screw with a rubber cap at each corner of the computer case to bear the weight of the acrylic case.

Once all the work was done with the acrylic case section I started reinstalling all the components. The motherboard, hard drive and power supply were added and then wired up.

At this point all that was left was to make a clear panel for the side of the case. I had some left over acrylic sheets from a different project that were really close to the right size, after test fitting, marking and cutting I then had a clear side panel to see into the case. (I left this off for the pictures because it caused a reflection)

The final step was filling the case with soil and adding some wheatgrass. I had been test growing other samples of wheatgrass during the build process. So I had already a couple of different patches of grass growing. I tried to keep the soil level just below the top of the acrylic case edge to make it a little more seamless.

For the computer itself I ended up installing Windows as well as Linux in a dual boot setup. Since the computer was going to be used by my son as something to play with I figured I should put both on there so he can tinker with them and learn as he goes. Besides, for important life decisions like picking an OS (Operating System) I think any good parent should present the options and then let their kid decide for themselves.

In the end I’m happy with the result of the project. It’s been fun experimenting with growing wheatgrass and I like how the natural look of grass is blended with the very modern, inorganic case.

Notes

Temperature Testing

In testing the case temperature versus the soil temperature I found it was easiest to control the case temperature by using a variable fan speed control on both the inlet and outlet fans. By turning the fan speed down I could increase the temperature inside the case and correspondingly raise the soil temperature.

In order to maximize output of heat during these tests I used Prime95 to run the CPU at 100% load.

Using this method to control the case and soil temperature I played around with adjusting the soil temperature and then tracking the rate of growth of the Wheatgrass. The target temperature for peak growth seemed to fall around 66°F (19°C).

Using the fans to control the case temperature allowed me to vary the temperature inside the case from a low of 75°F (24°C) to a high of 91°F (33°C). In order to achieve the desired increase in soil temperature, I had to run the case temperature toward the higher end of the scale.

When the soil temperature was too high, the growth of the wheatgrass would slow.

 

Wheatgrass

The wheatgrass I used for my tests was nothing special, it can be found as seeds (berries) in a lot of health food stores and it grows relatively easily.

Caring for the wheatgrass is just a matter of keeping it watered. It’s a pretty easy plant to work with and doesn’t require any special skills.

Wheatgrass is often used as a nutritional supplement; it can be juiced and mixed into smoothies and other beverages. I plan on harvesting some of the grass and making some juices.

 

Plant Options

While wheatgrass offers a nice, attractive and easily grown option I do plan on trying other plants as well in the future. Since I already have the “planter” built all I have to do is add a different plant and see how it goes. I’m sure there will be some plants that don’t like the lower light environment, but it will be fun experimenting with other plants as well and seeing how they take.

  4. Disney made a smart choice’
    Despite the comparisons, Abu Dhabi isn’t positioning itself as a direct rival to Orlando — it’s aiming to be something more. The emirate sees its theme parks as part of a bigger portfolio of attractions, alongside cultural landmarks, luxury hotels, pristine beaches, and desert adventures.

    A 15-minute drive from Yas Island, Saadiyat Island is home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a franchised outpost of the famous Paris art museum, which welcomed 1.4 million visitors last year, 84% from abroad. The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum are both under construction, adding to a cultural district that will be one of the region’s most concentrated hubs of art and heritage.

    “Abu Dhabi’s unique appeal lies in the diversity of our tourism offering,” Al Geziry added. “For thrill-seekers, we have record-breaking roller coasters and dune bashing in the desert. For culture lovers, historic sites like Al Ain Oasis and institutions like the Saadiyat museums. And for luxury travelers, world-class dining, private island resorts, and high-end shopping.

    “Where else can you start your day under the Louvre’s iconic rain-of-light dome and end it in the immersive, story-driven worlds of Warner Bros. World or Ferrari World?”

    Still, not everyone is convinced that Disney’s expansion into the Middle East is a sure bet.

    “The region has seen its share of false starts,” says Dennis Speigel, founder of the International Theme Park Services consultancy, comparing it to neighboring Dubai’s patchy record with theme park expansion ambitions in the mid-2010s. “Several of them struggled for profitability in their first decade.”

    Spiegel believes Abu Dhabi is different. “Disney made a smart choice. The infrastructure, safety, and existing leisure developments create an ideal entry point,” he told CNN earlier this year. “It’s a much more controlled and calculated move.”

    Under its Tourism Strategy 2030, Abu Dhabi aims to grow annual visitors from 24 million in 2023 to more than 39 million by the end of the decade. With Disneyland as a centerpiece, those targets may well be surpassed. The city’s population has already grown from 2.7 million in 2014 to more than 4.1 million today, a reflection of its rising profile as a regional hub.

    Yas Island alone has been transformed in the space of a decade from a largely undeveloped stretch of sand to a self-contained resort destination, complete with golf courses, marinas, a mall, more than 160 restaurants, and a cluster of high-end hotels.

    Orlando’s head start remains formidable — it still offers multiple Disney and Universal parks, has decades of brand loyalty, and an infrastructure built to handle tens of millions of tourists annually.

    But Abu Dhabi is catching up fast. Its combination of frictionless travel, year-round comfort, cutting-edge attractions, and a cultural scene that adds depth to the experience gives Abu Dhabi its own unique selling point, potentially offering a model for the next generation of theme park capital.

    El coaching ejecutivo es poderoso precisamente porque no se pierde con los efectos (agotamiento). Aborda estas raices de frente, permitiendote a redisenar desde cero tu enfoque del trabajo.

    3 Claves Utiles del acompanamiento directivo para un rol Sostenible

    1. De Administrar el Tiempo a Orquestar la Energia

    Deja de manejar el reloj. La real divisa de cambio de un ejecutivo no son las minutos, sino la gestion de su rendimiento.

    Un guia te ensena a crear un dibujo personal: identificar que responsabilidades, encuentros e incluso personas son ladrones de energia y cuales son revitalizadores.

    Se trata de replantear tu calendario de forma inteligente. Cuida tus espacios de alta energia (usualmente las mananas) para el laburo de mayor peso: crear.

    2. Del “Si” por costumbre al “No” consciente

    Progresaste a donde has llegado por tu talento de reaccion y de responder “si”. Pero para sobrevivir y evitar el burnout, debes aprender el poder del “no” estrategico.

    Un mentor te entrena a precisar con seguridad tus propositos criticos. Luego, te guia a implementar un filtro efectivo: “?Esto me lleva directamente a uno de mis objetivos?”. Si la contestacion es no, la opcion debe ser delegar.

    3. De la Omnipotencia a la Delegacion valiente

    El pensamiento de “yo lo hago mas rapido y mejor” es el sendero directo al burnout. Creas un bloqueo que te asfixia y, de paso, subutiliza a tu equipo.

    La delegacion profunda no es solamente ceder laburos chicos. Es transferir la propiedad de un logro integral.

    Un coach te ayuda a crear una relacion brutal: ?Que tareas solo yo manejo? Todo lo demas es cedible.

    El cambio de chip es pasar de “quiero dominar cada detalle” a “mi trabajo es crecer gente”.

    Exige fe, pero es la unica forma de escalar tu efecto sin caer.

  7. https://space57801.blog5.net/82428625/los-principios-bГЎsicos-de-diagnГіstico-de-clima-organizacional

    Piensa esta situación común en una oficina chilena: colaboradores quemados, desgaste constante, quejas en el pasillo como nadie pesca o puro cacho. Suena familiar, ¿no?

    Muchas empresas en Chile se pierden con los KPI y los reportes financieros, pero se saltan del pulso interno: su equipo. La verdad incómoda es esta: si no revisas el clima, después no te lamentes cuando la salida de talento te explote en la puerta.

    ¿Por qué cuenta tanto esto en Chile?
    El contexto local no da tregua. Arrastramos crónica rotación en retail, estrés extremo en los call centers y quiebres generacionales profundas en rubros como la minería y la banca.

    En Chile, donde domina la broma interna y la buena onda, es común disfrazar los problemas. Pero cuando no hay apoyo real, ese sarcasmo se vuelve en puro blablá que camufla la frustración. Sin un análisis, las organizaciones son ciegas. No ven lo que los colaboradores en serio comentan en la sala común o en sus chats internos.

    Los ventajas concretos (y muy locales) de hacerlo bien
    Hacer un estudio de clima no es un costo, es la mejor decisión en productividad y paz mental que consigues hacer. Los beneficios son concretos:

    Menos licencias médicas y inactividad: un problema que le cuesta millones a las empresas chilenas cada ciclo.

    Fidelización de talento emergente: las nuevas generaciones se mueven rápido si no ven sentido y buen ambiente.

    Mayor output en equipos descentralizados: clave para talento en regiones que a veces se ven aislados.

    Una ventaja competitiva real: no es lo mismo prometer “somos buena onda” que sustentarlo con evidencia.

    Cómo se hace en la práctica (sin quemarse)
    No ocupas un departamento de RRHH gigante. Hoy, las plataformas son accesibles:

    Encuestas anónimas digitales: lo más efectivo desde 2020. La clave es garantizar el anonimato total para que la persona hable sin temor.

    Termómetros rápidos: en vez de una encuesta pesada cada 12 meses, haz una consulta semanal breve por canales digitales.

    Reuniones pequeñas: la joya. Revelan lo que difícilmente saldría por intranet: roces entre áreas, tensiones con jefaturas, procedimientos que nadie entiende.

    Conversaciones directas con colaboradores regionales: su mirada suele quedar invisibilizada. Una entrevista puede descubrir quiebres de comunicación que nunca verías en una encuesta.

    El factor decisivo: el diagnóstico no puede ser un teatro. Tiene que convertirse en un programa tangible con hitos, responsables y fechas. Si no, es puro powerpoint.

    Errores que en Chile se repiten (y matan el proceso)

    Anunciar ajustes y no ejecutar: los equipos chilenos lo cachan al tiro; puro humo.

    No blindar el resguardo: en culturas muy autorregidas, el miedo a reacciones es real.

    Copiar encuestas genéricas: hay que aterrizar el lenguaje a la realidad local.

    Tomar una foto y no seguir: el clima se mueve tras la salida de un líder clave; hay que monitorear de forma periódica.

  9. Tourists fined and banned from Venice for swimming in canal
    [url=https://trip-scan.co]tripscan[/url]
    A couple from the United Kingdom had to cut their vacation in Venice short after being caught swimming in the Grand Canal.

    The 35-year-old British man and his 25-year-old Romanian girlfriend were forced to return to their home in the UK on Thursday, the same day they arrived in the city, after gondoliers reported them to local police for taking a dip in the canal.

    The pair were fined €450 ($529) each and expelled from Venice for 48 hours, marking the 1,136th such sanction to be handed down to badly behaved tourists in the city so far this year, according to the Venice City Police.

    The unnamed couple took the plunge near the Accademia bridge near St. Mark’s Square and gondoliers at the Rio San Vidal kiosk immediately called authorities, who removed them from the water.

    “I thank the gondoliers for their cooperation and timely reporting,” said Venice Security Councillor Elisabetta Pesce in a statement published by city authorities on Friday.

    “Venice must be defended from those who disrespect it: protecting the city means ensuring decorum for residents and visitors who experience it with civility.”

    Swimming in the Venice canals is prohibited for a variety of reasons, including the intense boat traffic and the cleanliness — or lack thereof — of the water, according to the city’s tourism ministry.

    Of the 1,136 orders of expulsion from the city so far this year, about 10 were for swimming.

    Rising waters and overtourism are killing Venice. Now the fight is on to save its soul

    “Since the beginning of the year, we have issued a total of 1,136 orders of expulsion for incidents of degradation and uncivilized behavior,” Venice local police deputy commander Gianni Franzoi said in a statement shared with CNN.

    Poor visitor behavior is one of the worst byproducts of overtourism, Franzoi said, and incidents are on the rise.

    In July 2024, an Australian man was fined and expelled for diving off the Rialto Bridge after his friends posted about it on social media.

    The year before, two French tourists were fined and expelled for skinny dipping in the canal under the moonlight. In August 2022, a German man was fined and expelled for surfing in the canal.

    Venice’s authorities have been trying to balance the need for visitor income with residents’ demands for a city that works for them.

    Day trippers now pay a €10 entrance fee on summer weekends and during busy periods throughout the year.

    The city has also banned tour groups of more than 25 people, loudspeakers and megaphones, and even standing on narrow streets to listen to tour guides.

    “It was necessary to establish a system of penalties that would effectively deter potential violations,” Pesce said when the ordinance was passed in February.

    “Our goal remains to combat all forms of irregularities related to overtourism in the historic lagoon city center,” she added.

    “The new rules for groups accompanied by guides encourage a more sustainable form of tourism, while also ensuring greater protection and safety in the city and better balancing the needs of Venice residents and visitors.”

  12. Tourists fined and banned from Venice for swimming in canal
    [url=https://trip-scan.co]tripscan top[/url]
    A couple from the United Kingdom had to cut their vacation in Venice short after being caught swimming in the Grand Canal.

    The 35-year-old British man and his 25-year-old Romanian girlfriend were forced to return to their home in the UK on Thursday, the same day they arrived in the city, after gondoliers reported them to local police for taking a dip in the canal.

    The pair were fined €450 ($529) each and expelled from Venice for 48 hours, marking the 1,136th such sanction to be handed down to badly behaved tourists in the city so far this year, according to the Venice City Police.

    The unnamed couple took the plunge near the Accademia bridge near St. Mark’s Square and gondoliers at the Rio San Vidal kiosk immediately called authorities, who removed them from the water.

    “I thank the gondoliers for their cooperation and timely reporting,” said Venice Security Councillor Elisabetta Pesce in a statement published by city authorities on Friday.

    Rising waters and overtourism are killing Venice. Now the fight is on to save its soul

    “Since the beginning of the year, we have issued a total of 1,136 orders of expulsion for incidents of degradation and uncivilized behavior,” Venice local police deputy commander Gianni Franzoi said in a statement shared with CNN.

    Poor visitor behavior is one of the worst byproducts of overtourism, Franzoi said, and incidents are on the rise.

    In July 2024, an Australian man was fined and expelled for diving off the Rialto Bridge after his friends posted about it on social media.

    The year before, two French tourists were fined and expelled for skinny dipping in the canal under the moonlight. In August 2022, a German man was fined and expelled for surfing in the canal.

  25. Hey folks,

    I’ve been diving into the world of virtual casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was super skeptical. I mean, how do you even believe in an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after testing the waters (and trying out a few dodgy sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that separate a reliable casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **licenses matter**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper legal status (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission), just run. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — check the terms. That’s the only way to know what kind of playthrough limits they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been hooked on these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super smooth. Payouts? No waiting around. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some oddball options I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: code bonus sava spin . What really impressed me was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like instantly. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, no thanks.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some juicy ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just chase bonuses. It’s smarter to get clear terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and drop your rent money — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra cash and you’re looking for a fun way to unwind, online casinos can totally deliver. Just play smart, control your bankroll, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s interested or trying to find a trustworthy place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some horror tales, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

    Good luck out there, and spin smart, win big ??

    Swimming in the Venice canals is prohibited for a variety of reasons, including the intense boat traffic and the cleanliness — or lack thereof — of the water, according to the city’s tourism ministry.

    Of the 1,136 orders of expulsion from the city so far this year, about 10 were for swimming.

    Rising waters and overtourism are killing Venice. Now the fight is on to save its soul

    “Since the beginning of the year, we have issued a total of 1,136 orders of expulsion for incidents of degradation and uncivilized behavior,” Venice local police deputy commander Gianni Franzoi said in a statement shared with CNN.

    Poor visitor behavior is one of the worst byproducts of overtourism, Franzoi said, and incidents are on the rise.

    In July 2024, an Australian man was fined and expelled for diving off the Rialto Bridge after his friends posted about it on social media.

    The year before, two French tourists were fined and expelled for skinny dipping in the canal under the moonlight. In August 2022, a German man was fined and expelled for surfing in the canal.

    Venice’s authorities have been trying to balance the need for visitor income with residents’ demands for a city that works for them.

    Day trippers now pay a €10 entrance fee on summer weekends and during busy periods throughout the year.

    The city has also banned tour groups of more than 25 people, loudspeakers and megaphones, and even standing on narrow streets to listen to tour guides.

    “It was necessary to establish a system of penalties that would effectively deter potential violations,” Pesce said when the ordinance was passed in February.

    “Our goal remains to combat all forms of irregularities related to overtourism in the historic lagoon city center,” she added.

    “The new rules for groups accompanied by guides encourage a more sustainable form of tourism, while also ensuring greater protection and safety in the city and better balancing the needs of Venice residents and visitors.”
