Skip Raiders

-
Just like "rent my parkingspace", this is to open up my skip to the public but in a controlled manner, with a first come first served basis.
* Owner gets skip and registers skip on web site - length of time and best time to Raid it.
* Or Raider who is interested posts a printed card asking for permission to access the skip
* Owner says what will be dumped into the skip
* Raider asks for access and says what they would like "I'm after bricks" for example
* Raider complies with instructions and access time and empties skip once - allowing other people access in the queue.

Skip Raiders - Original Art Work
To create a simple Skip Raiders Message then use an old plastic carton and add the message on one side and the response on the other - I will produce some templates soon to make this easier.

Skip Raiders - Create message from milk bottle

Skip Raiders - Full message and response on single strip

Skip Raiders - Add magnet for attachment to skip

Skip Raiders - turn right way for skip owner to say "NO"

Skip Raiders - Write your message on one side

Skip Raiders - skip owner turns so it says "YES"

Knowledge Bomb eXperiment - books not bombs!

Inspired from a bag with the image "Books not Bombs" - a real experiment that could be tested in the real world. Pick a war, any war then drop books instead of bombs, drop knowledge instead of destruction, drop help and remove fear, drop equipment (microscopes, telescopes) to investigate the world rather than destroy it ... The amazing thing about this thought, this idea is that it can be tried now, today, at this very moment and the results can be checked. Military still get to fly sorties and dodge missiles, but the bombs hold knowledge of this world to help them improve their lives - from the greatest writers of our time. I would rather see depleted books lying around rather than depleted uranium! Contents of a Knowledge Bomb?

Chalkboards for Learning

Whilst living on a boat we had to create areas of interest for our daughter Mia to play in. When creating a doorway to cover the hatch exit we covered it in chalkboard paint so it could be used for lot of different things: Learning to draw and write with Mia Writing notes Leaving messages for other people So I say we can take this idea further just like in the image below and have chalkboards on every childs bedroom wall. Providing a fun learning area that is reusable and cheap to get up and running. I think this should be supported by governments and companies as a cheap and fun way to teach children and provide them with an area of creativity. So a simple kit would contain the following: enough paint to create a 2m x 2m square paint brush instructions on how to use the new "chalkboard for learning" chalk to last for a month sign up to receive a quarterly newsletter on activities for the chalkboard Number counting with Rainbow Dash ...

A Garden Zoo with Friends

After moving house and collecting a lot of cardboard packaging - what to do with it all? Straight down to the tip? Well the first load went that way and then I thought, hey maybe I can do something with this stuff? So 30 minutes later with my daughter insisting on helping me we had a larger than life "Upsy Daisy" and a "Snap Happy Annie" Crocodile in the garden made from cardboard packaging from Ikea . These look great and our little girl couldn't help but drag the 2d characters around the garden and gave them great big hugs.   Could this be taken further - maybe drop some characters in a park (nice ones only please). Build a Zoo in the city? Not too many now or else the cardboard will get everywhere but for special occasions and fun.
