Hello, my name is Isaac Benson Powell, and welcome to my website.  Here, you'll find information about... Isaac Benson Powell
Contachit Screen Shot I'm developing a new computer language and an IDE, that allows you to both view and edit computer code in a flow-chart (or text editor if you prefer).

One way to think of this, is a "front-end" to C++.

The dedicated website for this is here: Contachit
In 2011, I constructed "Rocky", the line following robot... using guidance from a book I had purchased, but the antenna, eyes, and external lights were modifications I made to the book's design.

In Daylight (video)

Rocky demonstrates why I'm hesitant to drink the kool-aid, when it comes to "self-driving" automobiles.

In the Dark (video)

Rocky navigating in the dark.  The 3 lights on the top LHS/RHS, indicate which motor is currently active (that's why they are flickering on/off all the time).

Corruptocracy Do you ever get tired of all the bullshit, and just want to tell the world what you really think?  Well, that's exactly what I did!

Book's website is here: Corruptocracy
Ever wonder what Microsoft thinks of the First Amendment (AKA free speech)?  I found out they have a very interesting view of it when I tried to protest them in May of 2015, for various employment practices I disagreed with.

I was standing on a sidewalk that ran along a public road, peacefully protesting, and they had the police write me up a trespass warning letter, and if I protested them again on that sidewalk, I'd be thrown in jail.  Didn't realize (at the time), that I lived in the USSA.

Do you like open-source software, but wish there was a way to earn money developing it?

The IBP Time-Delayed Software License enables this by alternating between being "proprietary" and "open-source".  The main goal of the license, is to give developers [0..3] years to earn money from their hard work, but after that, they are required to release the source code for the binary version they had previously released.
