My name is Daniel Connell, I'm an open source lowtech designer. Essentially I design and tutorialise things that people can make themselves from recycled materials which allow them to generate their own energy, purify water, cook, communicate, etc.

Never use UPS. They counted everything in my package twice, for no obvious reason, and are now refusing to deliver it unless I pay a significant import duty on the extra items which clearly don't exist. This has been going on for three weeks now and they still haven't gotten around to resolving the basic and obvious error.
