So we got the wife a new car. The car is great, but buying from the dealer was not fun. Don’t be surprised if I post a nice big fat rant here later on (cause I’m still fuming). In the future I think I’ll be going to CarMax and try out the no-haggle pricing. That’s starting to sound really good.
Okay, so some kids from MIT throw together a working solar power system from auto parts. It not only pumps out electricity but also heat. So why can’t my local power company offer me something like this to offset the power my house uses from the grid (and perhaps juice up my water heater)? If my Congress Critters are listening, how about supporting this kind of stuff. There’s a huge untapped market here people!
From Digg:
Two groups at MIT are working on alternative approaches to solar-based electricity that could significantly cut costs — and put the ability to harvest electricity from the sun into the hands of villagers in poor countries and backyard tinkerers alike.

A must-have website for any student (especially in high school or college). This is a thought-provoking list of banned books, the places in which they were banned, and the reason for their banishment. Make sure to check it out…
Here is my cousin’s warrior with a sword he bought… and that I am jealous of.
Also managed a cool pose with my pet and the Scepter of Orr.
