My last post dealt with the need for alternative sources of energy, to save money, decrease pollution, and help slow climate change. A cautionary post should be added, as the race to develop and utilize alternative energy is not all good. I took the above picture on a trip to Borneo in 2008, riding in [...]
Today is Blog Action Day, where bloggers come together to spread awareness on topics that matter. This year’s topic is climate change. Why it’s not obvious to everyone that there is a direct correlation between CO2 (and other greenhouse gasses) and temperature is beyond me. Here’s a graph: But lets just ignore reality and assume [...]
A friend sent me a link to this Bill Moyer’s program with an interview with Rory Stewart, a professor from Harvard University who among other things has walked across Afghanistan during the war and written a book about it.

What planet are these people on??? If that [...]
If there’s one thing that definitely needs to be flushed down the toilet, it’s high frequency trading. If you’ve got any money in stocks, you’re likely losing some due to companies like Goldman Sachs using your bailout money to artificially inflate the value of stocks by using super computers to make millisecond trades. They’re watching [...]
