I lived in San Francisco for 15 years. It used to be one of the most incredible cities in the world – mostly because of the spirit of the people. The current tech boom has pushed out a lot of the creative people and has changed the city, but this video starts to bring some of… Read More
Why is Xfinity WiFi Harming People?
Update March 2019: The Comcast Xfinity stores in the San Francisco Bay Area are now offering two different modems with no WiFi capabilities to any customer that asks (possibly because of a class action lawsuit that has been filed and because many customers want to use their own router).

WiFi Backlash Trend Accelerating
Cafe owners in Sydney are realizing that “Free WiFi” comes at a cost. As The Syndey Morning Herald reports, cafes are starting to limit or ban WiFi so that people will actually have real interactions.

Can We Create New Senses for Humans?
This recent TED talk by David Eagleman is mind opening – literally. He speaks to how humans and animals perceive their environment.

What is Dirty Electricity?

This is when the electrical power lines and wiring within your home contain frequencies other than the normal 60 Hz electrical current (50 Hz in Europe). These additional frequencies piggyback on the electrical wiring and radiate into your living environment. These frequencies… Read More

Berkeley Church Cell Tower
Is nothing sacred? The St. Ambrose Catholic Church on Gilman Street in Berkeley has tentatively agreed to allow AT&T to put a new 4G cell phone tower in its steeple. Considering many residents of the community are opposed to the cell tower, this church is certainly not acting like a good neighbor. By now, most… Read More
Is Grounding Good for You?
The short answer is: It depends. “Earthing” or “grounding” is a hot topic these days with health-conscious people. It is often one of the first products of EMF protection that people try out because it has become popularized by the Earthing website and the associated book, “Earthing.” The book outlines a cornucopia of health benefits including… Read More
