My Kids watch the Sesame Street on Saturday Mornings (DVR), and I thought this was the funniest image I had seen in a while ;-)
Searching for Bobby Fischer
Have you seen the "Searching for Bobby Fischer"? I've watched it several times, and have found it to be an inspiring movie. Here is a small clip:
The story is loosely based on Josh Waitzkin's life story. Here is a two part interview Josh Waitzkin had on ABC News regarding his latest book The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance

Joe McNally speech at Google
Joe McNally is the author of the The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters, who is one of the greatest photographers of our times.
Here, he gives a presentation/speech at the Google Headquarters. Although this is a long video, but I feel it's well worth watching.

Clean Coal ?
Try to listen to Coalby Clean's explanation of how burning fossil fuels is cleaner than renewable energy and not come away with a changed perspective.

This video is a great example of the battle lines that are being drawn right now about the future of energy.
On the one hand, you've got Big Coal who obviously want to stay in business. On the other, you've got the Sierra Club types who pretty much oppose any kind of coal power project anywhere. Do you buy the argument that there is such a thing as "clean coal" ?

A new Electric Car
A new ALL ELECTRIC car from AMP Motor Works:
AMP is taking orders for a limited run of 300 converted Saturn Sky Roadsters, which will be ALL electric. The cars will have a range of 150 miles on a single charge, go 0 to 60 in under six seconds, and can reach a top speed of 90 MPH. The cost of the conversion and vehicle comes to around $50,000.
Green Plug
Every AC-powered device uses a common cable and connector. Yet, DC-powered devices use so many incompatible, device-specific cables and connectors that the cables and connectors are normally useful only for one specific device, and thrown away at the end of the device's life. In United states only, over 400 million of such adapters are thrown away every year.
Green Plug is leveraging the universality of the USB connector for delivering power to low-power devices. Unmodified, standard USB cables can be used to connect Green PlugTM-enabled power supplies to low-power devices that get power over their USB connectors. Since USB provides for low-power only, Green Plug has extended the connector in a very innovative way such that high-power devices can all use the universal connector for power.
