How often do you find yourself seeing something you've passed by hundreds of times before and thought "Wow! That's amazing." Yesterday, I found myself walking along the same path I normally take for my daily walk and looked up into a small grove of trees that I pass under everyday. I was so struck with ...
For several years now, we've been talking about oil in the United States. A significant portion of the 2008 election debate centered around oil. So often, we heard the question from conservatives, conservative-wannabes, and anyone else looking for airtime, "what's wrong with offshore drilling?" They told us how safe it is, and besides, if anything ...

Dear Chase,
It is with great sadness that I am forced to write you this letter. I enjoyed our relationship together for the past year. But, you see, since you took the TARP money from the taxpayers of the United States to go on a bank-buying spree, you've become so abusive to me that I began ...

Watch the video. In short, one man has discovered, quite by accident, the potential to have almost unlimited free fuel for the planet: Salt Water.
The earth is covered with it, and very few people have figured out how to use it in its natural state as a fuel source. Instead of focusing our efforts and ...

Google's Nexus One Device (super-smart phone) has arrived. The question is whether it is worth it or not. Engadget provided a really great review, so I won't go into a complete review here. Instead, I want to build on Engadget's review and (Eric Schmidt, are you listening?) provide my own take on what's going on.

You can find the "official comparison" of the Health Care Reform bills from the Senate and House here.
What do you think? Personally, I think the provisions of the House bill are better for the American people.
The best way to participate in government is to stay informed on the issues and at the very least read ...

Recently, one of my friends started his long-shot campaign to become GM's next CEO. His approach got me mulling over the fate of General Motors and Ed Whitacre's leadership of the "Great CEO Search". I, of course, did all of my thinking while engaged in a marathon drive from Los Angeles, CA to Coeur d'Alene, ...

I have to tell you: I'm tired of American politics. I don't watch the news or read the newspaper anymore because I find that I just get frustrated and angry over things that I apparently have no control over. Big corporations and special interested and lobbyists and political parties have hijacked our government and everyone ...

Scientists are developing gum that can help diagnose diseases. This is exactly the sort of thinking that we should be engaged in. The ability to deploy low-cost diagnostic tools into the field that don't require expensive labs and technicians in order to work.
Think of it. You head over to your local grocery store, pick up ...

For a couple in Canada, that windfall has created economic opportunity for their entire town. They are systematically and ...
