Thinking about Mimi Parker this Christmas, and those closer to home who aren’t with us anymore. Years of listening to this has made it hit a little harder this year. #low #MimiParker #ChristmasMusic https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=eIbha-783eQ&feature=share

En estos días muchos y muchas estamos abriendo cuenta en Mastadon. Nos dedico el singular tema instrumental "A New Career in a New Town." del Álbum "Low" de David Bowie. Los cambios pueden ser para mejor y empezar de nuevo puede ser hasta bueno. Buenas noches. 😃🎶 #davidbowie #Low

Then it's Pedal Power by James McCullagh which is all about pedal power and making low tech and appropriate tech that runs off pedaling. It goes into a history of pedal power and covers everything from the history of pedal power, to more concrete and modern examples like water pumps, electrical generators, even field plows and my favorite, the pedal-powered trash can washing machine.

Pretty cool demonstration of some #low-tech and #solarpunk ideas of harnessing #appropriatetechnology in a way that benefits people while also having an extremely low impact to the environment.
