Electric Cars Sound Nice
I had the pleasure of driving alongside a Tesla Roadster about a month ago and I was thoroughly impressed with what I saw. A great little sports car that had quick acceleration, a nice stance on the road and a unique sound, almost silent, but with a powerful electric hum. 288 hp, 0 - 100 kph in 3.7 seconds, carbon fiber body, zero emissions, almost 400 km per charge and plugs into any standard 3 prong outlet!

Projects Linking Art, Community and Environment
PLACE is all about creating innovative, affordable communities with a focus on self-sufficiency and minimal impact on the environment. Utilizing technologies such as wind and solar, and embracing new ideas such as a trash composition system that generates energy, PLACE is looking beyond sustainability. Their recent project, Working Artists Ventura or WAV, is garnering attention from around the world, becoming only the second development in California to receive LEED Certification. I hope that PLACE will inspire others to create and innovate with an open mind!

The Solar Powered Light Bulb
It's been done before in the form of garden lights, patio lanterns and camp lighting but Nokero has invented a solar powered light bulb with greater intentions. Their inexpensive products are intended to help those in areas where fuel is expensive, and electricity is scarce or unavailable.

Oh my! Is it the future already?
Ha HA. It is always the future. I like to look ahead as other visionaries have done in the past. I study Buckminster Fuller, Ayn Rand, FM 2030, Gerd Leonhard, Asimov and Freud among others. I follow technology closely, I am intrigued by recent developments in nanotechnology, bionics, alternative fuel, telecommunications, green energy, resource exploration and artificial intelligence.
My dreams are of off-the-grid cities, urban natural food cultivation and bio-luminescent lighting...
This blog is intended to share ideas and innovations to help us move forward in a healthy, conscious manner.
The future is bright.
