How I Perceive Myself
My parents named my Teri Lynn, and I inherited my father's last name, Grunthaner. That is useful to know for compartmentalization in your mind, but how much does it really matter? A nose by any other name would still smell... :D
So why not get right down to it: The current purpose that I've assigned my life is getting to know the world through knowing myself, and getting to know myself through knowing the world (and visa-versa from the worlds' perspective:). Living, learning, and loving every sensation and experience is my ideal method, but it takes much practice. I'll help you as you help me. <3
My Interests in Appropriate Technology
- How it necessitates a creative, bottom-up, collaborative approach to problem-solving and asset-building
- The individual and collective empowerment derived from creating capital to meet communal needs
- It's contribution to the establishment of economic, social, and ecologic sustainability and justice
My Experience in Appropriate Technology

- Co-designing and constructing an Umbrella Solar Cooker
Please check out http://www.instructables.com/id/Use_software_to_design_a_better_solar_cooker/ If you can draw the curve that your umbrella cooker makes, you can model it and compare it with other curves with the software available there. Brian
