I Want One Of These!!!!

Check out this cool thing! It's in Spain. It's a giant system that absorbs solar power on a grand scale and it will eventually be able to provide power for 600,000 people in Seville, Spain. It looks all kinda funky and bright like it's omitting crazy power. It's almost spiritual looking. I can see people in future archealogical expiditions trying to call it a spiritual instrument. Check it out.

Atlanta Pollen

Who thinks they have the worst pollen? Here are a couple of night time pictures of what the pollen looks like on our cars here in Atlanta at about the 2 week into spring mark. This will last into June depending on the year and the amount of rain we get. I took these pictures so that the people in my family could look and see what it is we go through here. I do of course have some family in South Carolina and Florida who can definitely relate to the Atlanta Pollen issue. I hear people from Oklahoma talk about allergies and I just think to myself they are lucky they aren't here.

Can You Go Without Toilet Paper For a Year?

Check this article out. It is about a guy who is going through an entire year trying his best to make "No Impact" on the environment. It's a big challenge. In the end of course he has a book deal and there is a person following the whole thing on film so that they can do a documentary as well. I'm sure in the next couple of years we'll see the book and film out on the shelves. I'm interested in seeing the impact on the country with that.
