Xavion
I wrote Xavion to back up the instruments in the cockpit of any airplane, and provide engine-failed emergency gliding paths if the engine in my plane ever quits!
It has already saved my bacon in a partial engine failure and complete pitot-static failure!

The Patent Scam
I was sued by a Patent Troll for USING THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE. The Troll claimed to own the idea of computers sharing information to purchase software.
Patent Trolls file patent on blatantly obvious ideas that are often decades or centuries old, typically add the words “…but now, on a computer!” to the patent to pretend they are the first person to think of the idea, and then start the business of suing people!

A recent comment on the YouTube video: “Just FYI, Nike goes to apparel expos, scouts out other peoples ideas and then patents them and sues the original inventors. I know I was in the industry. Don’t buy Nike.”
Suing South Carolina
Teslas run faster than Ferraris, safer than Volvos, quieter than Rolls Royces, are made in America, and oh yah: They don’t use gas.
And, in South Carolina, where I live, the car DEALERS, who import gas-burners that occasionally burn their occupants to death after crashes, have convinced the legislature to ban Tesla from selling their cars in the state. I’m suing the state of South Carolina to overturn the obviously-un-constitutional ban on buying the safest, quietest, fastest cars in the world.

Beta
What are some of the most annoying things about airplanes other than the airline food?
The fact they they use so darn much FUEL and RUNWAY! THESE are the things that we are trying to solve at Beta. Meet Ava. This airplane is electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing. No gas. We are still holding many details close, but the web site is HERE. A few stories here and here.

Stradale
I have a good bit of Ferrari track-driving experience, and want to communicate what it is like to drive this type of car at speed.
But on a track of our dreams (or nightmares, as would surely be the case for most).
The physics are as accurate as X-Plane, and I have never driven a driving sim that feels more like a real Ferrari or Corvette.

Investments
I invest to make the world cleaner, and my investments include Pro-Terra, a company making electric buses for cities. Imagine cities with clean, silent electric buses!! I invest in EPS, creators of an aviation engine that uses significantly less fuel than other reciprocating aviation engines. I invest in Beta, a company making a zero-emissions electric eVTOL airplane, and RDD, makers of a more efficient light airplane, the LX7. I also invest in a company called Aztlan, which is working on more environmentally-friendly chemical production! These investments are all early-stage, pre-IPO, and helping make the world a cleaner place.
Izzies’ Pond
What these people do is just amazing. Many of us THINK of how we want to help wildlife, but Greg and his wife actually DO it. They give every bit of time and effort and energy they have to helping injured or abandoned raccoons, deer, goats, squirrels, and any other animals that need help. Their farm, to me, is a little paradise. I help when I can, but they sure need more!
Meyer/Finlay Pet Adoption Center
I like animals more than people.
So I helped fund some Pet Adoption Centers, such as the
Meyer/Finlay Pet Adoption Center
and
Meyer Scholar at Saint Paul’s School
If you live in South Carolina and want to go to the most amazing school that I can imagine, then check out Saint Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire!
I went there and it was just the most amazing place I have ever been, period.
To help, I helped fund the Meyer Scholar full-ride scholarship, so you can go without worrying about money for tuition.
