- bcurtisBLOG » People are talking about water⦠— nice chart on where all our water goes. Only 13% for household use. A huge amount to thermoelectric power generation.
- Tom Evslin on energy policy. Great points — we need a country-wide BHAG with respect to energy — an Apollo-type program. And the government can lead through its own purchasing policies.
- Small scalable wind turbines — pretty cool looking.
- One man’s experience with solar thermal here in Seattle — the numbers look good.
- Ten fastest green cars on the planet — Karl’s car looks awesome
- REI trialing solar — I wonder if Fat Spaniel is part of the setup

The Siren Song of Local Reviews
Chris discusses The Siren Song of Local Reviews as does Andy. Both these guys have a lot of hard-won scars from their experiences. It is a continually intriguing space.

Troubleshooting your network
How to Troubleshoot your Network ~ Chris Pirillo recommends Axence Nettools. He’s also a fan of OpenDNS which I admit seems cool, but the neat shortcutting thing won’t work obviously when I am on some other network.
Then there is Lanroamer if you need to operate at a lower level.
Of course there is Network Magic which in my not unbiased view, just gets more and more robust and more and more useful. Now on version 4.5. Mac support now available which is one of the best things I find, since Mac/PC networking is still way too hard (though I haven’t tried Leopard yet and it seems to have a lot of new features in this area).
Andy Sack
A Sack of Seattle: Emotions of winding down a company — a very open and honest post about the tough times Andy and JB are going through.

Score One for Perfect Match
In the Science of Love premiere last night, science won. This is classically trashy summer reality TV, but for some bizarre reason we were all captivated with it last night. The guy didn’t seem like much of a catch but that was just part of the appeal of the show.
