A very interesting talk about harnessing solar energy using a Sterling engine and genetic algorithms.

Another Good TED Talk


Another talk on oil energy. He opens the talk with an analogy to whales and whale oil, remarking that the whales were saved by money grubbing oil capitalist the destroyed the whale oil market before we killed all the whales.

I didn't get the house but I did get the new Mac! It is very exciting. There is nothing like opening a new Mac. From cutting the tape to pulling out the machine and finding the documentation, it is a first rate experience.

From day one this has been my "work" machine. Doing fun things like writing new code and working techincal things rather than watching TV online or surfing the web for pointless (but fun) topics.

I'll keep you updated on the projects as we get to a finished product.
