Ambitious Goals.
Our goal is to identify, explain, categorize, and link all objects in the world.
From a 1957 Cheverolet Corvette, to your personal souped up bicycle, to the kitchen
beater, to
industrial equipment that makes it all, down to the chemicals that it
is all made up of. It is a large, intricate, impossible goal, but though we
might not be able to identify it all maybe we can put a dent in it and have a valuable
knowledgebase linking all the pieces of a few objects together. The goal of this site will also be to serve as a consumer human guide. We do not just want commercial
solutions and commercial products with all the commercial parts it takes to create
them. So we will refuse to
just be another consumer guide, and hopefully a forger, maker, doer guide. We want your own personal ways to craft items to fix things that
would otherwise be broken forever. (How long ago should the antique cars in Cuba have been shipped
to a scrap yard?
Oddly they keep chugging.) So we want to know how to make what you consider to be the
best commuter bike ever. So, you know how to forge the crankcase for a 1975 Kubota
Tractor? We too would like to know how you do it.
I guess you could describe it as one of those giant do it yourself auto repair books,
but where all the content is added by users and everything is game. The goal
is going to be an open system where you do not have to have all the components of
a object to list that object, and therefore you do not have to have an end product
to list a component. Hopefully this can also become a marketplace for the
objects as well so that you can say you have this or that object and are willing to part with it...for a price. =)
I will make it a perosnal goal to keep this site relatively ad light, no more than
10% of a page filled by an ad (that might sound big but not if the page is small),
and the idea is also to have companies list and represent their own products in
special ways for a fee or charging companies selling many items via the site.
At the end of the day though I hope to keep peoples needs on top, if something
is rated poorly by the users of this site there will not be a get out of jail free
card regarding that rating or about comments on a particular product, positive or
negative we will keep anything that is not tagged as abuse by the user base.
So the main goal here is to have "objects" because everything in the world can be
broken down to objects (if you try hard enough.) Going back to the 1957 Chevrolet
Corvette, it is an object, but it is made up of several thousand other objects. Our goal is to list them all (including the variants and possibillities)
and partially to come up with ratings for
commercial as well as personal solutions to every object. So my friends start reverse engineering and researching, and hopefully
the communication on this site can help you in the future if we all pitch in.
