The Algae Experiment: How to build your own algae photo-bioreactor.

Every cool website I have been checking out for years.  Many things I would like to build but don't have the time or know-how.  The basic idea is to stop buying junk at the store and start fixing and making things.  Some of it is very high tech, some low tech.  I connected with an old artist friend from MIT through this site years ago and have enjoyed it since.  Perhaps someone out there knows more than I about how this experiment might actually work?…

Sign-In Procedures Changing

Ok, The number of people signing up for this page has dropped off radically since we put in the approval requirement.  I think we better go back to the old way and we will just watch for "Ruthie the Spammer."  Please be assured, such a person can only send messages thru the page.  They do NOT have direct access to your email address.  They cannot see the address and cannot share it with other spammers.  Please let me know if you have any questions  dstassek@gmail.com
