About

Happy New Year! Welcome to the site all about making a better world through influence, action, and engineering.

Our main focus is on engineering but we support all sorts of efforts. You don’t need to be an engineer to do better. It’s easy to make a difference. See our world list and nice list pages for some ideas.

The big engineering goal for 2025 is to launch an amazing new concept for saving homes from wildfire. See our California wildfire page to view this concept compared with past wildfires. It’s eye opening to see what could’ve been possible.

Please join our email list below to follow and support all the efforts for making a better world.
