Think Greener, Dream Bigger
Proposed
building a green memorial park
at landfill, with the site
fuelled by biogas. Renovate
containers with solar panels to
be used as columbaria in the
memorial park.
HK Electric writes:
"4
Dec 2018 - On top of
promoting energy efficiency and
conservation, some teams taking
part in this year's HK Electric
"Green Energy Dreams Come
True" competition came up
with innovative projects
addressing both green and social
issues in Hong Kong.
Champion for 2018 was HKUGA
College. The team initiated an
energy-saving competition on
campus and installed solar
panels on the rooftop of the
school building to study the
effectiveness of energy
conservation and the use of
renewable energy:"
"First runner-up was Christian
Alliance SW Chan Memorial
College who proposed to turn a
landfill area into a memorial
park through greening. Besides
using biogas from the landfill
to power the site, they also
suggested converting cargo
containers into columbaria
powered by solar panels,
addressing the issues of land
shortage and conservation, as
well as the opposing views about
landfill and columbaria often
heard from the public.
Projects from HKSKH Bishop Hall
Secondary School and Leung Shek
Chee College both came third.
The former suggested using
remote sensors to monitor if
home appliances were switched
off to help the underprivileged
to save on energy, while the
latter produced an MTV featuring
a rap dance to promote green
messages on social media.
Now
in its fourth year, the
"Green Energy Come True"
competition has been encouraging
secondary school students to
promote energy efficiency,
renewable energy and energy
sustainability. This year, 13
teams and their green dream
proposals were short-listed.
Each team was allotted seed
money of up to HK$50,000 by HK
Electric and was paired with a
young engineer or professional
from the Company to act as their
mentor and guide, helping the
students to realise their
dreams...."
Produced a mobile greenhouse
powered by solar panels for
educational purpose.

Open Space 10th
Anniversary
Q:
What's happening on the 1st
December?
A: Open Space's
10th Anniversary Party (8pm-8am)
Q:
What
IS Open Space? Is it just an
open… space?
A: That's just
a silly question – why ask it?
Q:
Our
readers may be confused by the
name so…
A: Fine… It's
an old secluded farmhouse that
became a trifling yet versatile
community venue with an
open-door policy and a penchant
for art and music. It was
founded during the bad ole days
of post
Lamma-Life-Force/hippy-style
island antics and the vacant
space that this unwelcome
departure brought. Tamara Norris
and Lamma's body politic at that
time - e.g. arty commune types,
seized the moment and lovingly
painted and decorated the site,
macheted the ever-encroaching
jungle around it and held one or
two blissed-out gatherings and a
party to celebrate their hard
work and spirited creativity
before the Christmas of 2008. It
was named Open Space to signify
its open-format
community-focused credentials,
its equitability and also being
unadorned from the trappings of
modern life.
Q:
Couldn't you have given me a
quick sound bite?
A: You did ask
and it's a long story - that was
just the first 2 months.
Q:
So
what went wrong?
A: What do you
mean?
Q:
The
hippy stuff. You only have DJs
and all night parties now.
A: Untrue. Last
year we turned the space into a
forest school for toddlers, kids
and...
Q:
Great and what about the DJs?
A: For the 1st
of December?
Q:
Sure, who's playing?
A: Um……

Sri Lankan Night
Nov 21: 'I Believe In...''
Weird Shit ~ by Nick the Bookman
~ Nov 20, 2018
"I believe in ETs, UFOs,
Faster Than Light travel,
Hyperspace and Parallel
Dimensions and...
...the fact that our moon is
a hollow spacecraft which is
about one billion years older
than Earth and was most likely
constructed in our future and
time-shifted back into the
incredibly precise orbit it now
maintains around Earth."
P.S.
Responses on Facebook came in
quickly...
P.S. Nov 23:
Some weird shit
happening to the picture above

I took this random computer
glitch on my website as
inspiration for more "creative
experiments".
(Most of my
experiments are not good enough
to publish. ;~)
Here's my first
acceptable result (click on

LAMMA LIFE?
I came across this path
drawing just before the Po Wah
Yuen garbage bins (while walking
from a YSW wine tasting to a Pak
Kok beach bonfire).
How old is this and what's
the meaning/story behind "Lamma
Life"?
Can anybody enlighten
me?

Tasting & Painting w/Georgian Wines
Wine tasting and painting with
wine don't mix!
See above
what a mess I made by joining
this event!
I claim it to be a completely
intentional creation, but who'd
believe me!
Back to my 38+ years of creating
computer art -
http://Lamma.com.hk/L-G
- no hand-sketching and painting
involved, much safer for an
artsy computer geek like me...
...as long as I don't spill any
wine on my keyboard.
P.S..
Here's a LAC video of the event.
