Creative use of carbon nanotubes could provide us with “free energy”

This TED presentation shows how we could make windows energy-efficient, get free solar power from any structural surface, and store it all efficiently, or share it with your neighbors. This is highly disruptive technology. “Disruptive” meaning “threatening to current energy industries”.

Chick-fil-A is Insane

I create brands, logos, slogans. And as a professional, I think this lawsuit that Chick-fil-A has brought against a small t-shirt silkscreener is insanity. Do you think a t-shirt that says “Eat More Kale” could possibly be confused with their “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign? Last time I checked, chicken was not a vegetable. Does Chick-fil-A even sell vegetables? Maybe their lawyers don’t know what kale is. Maybe their lawyers just needed to increase their billable hours…

This is what war does.

Iraqi Taxi Drivers killed for their cars, buried in mass grave.

Are they less oppressed now than before the war?

Lee’s on TV

I was just interviewed on-camera for the show ‘Nitebeat with Barry Nolan’ airing at 7pm tomorrow night (Thu 2-2-06). The topic is offsetting your carbon emissions, and the trend toward trading the right to pollute. It’s on Comcast cable, and I have RCN! Now I must burn some fossil fuels to go watch myself on TV…

A carbon footprint is what you cause in greenhouse emissions by being a consumer, driving a car, etc. You can pay a fee to have your carbon emissions (greenhouse gasses) offset by green power projects or absorbed by new forests:
