Jack's World View21 maggio Corporate VPNWell I have nothing against a company establishing Internet use policies but not being able to access my blog from either the office, home, or on the road when using the VPN, which is the bulk of the time, makes keeping a blog current very difficult.
Now when the CEO of a major public company like Sun Microsystems, Johnathan Schwartz, has a personal company blog that he updates VERY frequently it would be nice to have either a company sponsored blog site or at the very least ability to access a suitable third-party provider live Windows Live.
So much for my rant.
Stay tuned for some environmental news. My patent to integrate alternative energy into data centers has been sumitted to the US Patent Office and I look foward to working with our engineering team and select customers to validate the concepts.
JP 20 febbraio I'm BACKSo our corporate VPN has stopped all access to this and several other sites. Probably not a bad move. So from now on any posts will most likely take place while I am on the road or at home on my local network.
In Columbus, Ohio for a few days this week, next, and the one after then hope to stay closer to home for a while as Brigitte will be back for spring break.

01 dicembre On Sun's David Douglas and The Long Green TailDavid Douglas's recent blog post on the Long Green Tail - see track back or http://blogs.sun.com/enviro/entry/the_long_green_tail for more information was timely and interesting. Certainly with the holiday season starting to impact most consumers' finances it is difficult to think of "BIG" global shifting practices, purchases, or changes as they are too hard to fit into our daily practice.
Yet something as simple as changing out a few traditional incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL) would be easy and not exactly budget busting for most consumers. With CFLs now selling in 4 and 6 packs for around $10.95 at the likes of Home Dept http://www.homedepot.com, Costco http://www.costco.com, and Lowes http://www.lowes.com one has to ask - Why not?
Well the CEC, California Energy Commission, http://www.energy.ca.gov/, has asked the same thing as recent studies on their part indicate a general market acceptance rate of 2%. That's right - TWO PERCENT. Oh sure the number of homes using at least one has grown to 56% but one is not enough when most homes have anywhere from 6 to 10 incandescent lights running at one time and a good 20 to thirty lights when the entire house is taken into consideration. See http://energy.ca.gov/releases/2006_releases/2006-10-4_chg_light_chg_world.html
So let's take the initiative and start changing out light bulbs for CFLs. It’s simple, easy, and at $10.95 for 4 to 6 CFLs not at all expensive. Now is the time as our daylight hours continue to shrink we can gain the most economic benefit by switching to CFLs in the Winter when we use our lights the most.
Four or six CFLs across twenty to thirty million households in the US would provide staggering environmental, social, and economic benefits that though small at the individual level are greater than any Federal or State investment in a one-time energy act.
I've installed over ten CFLs this year with another six targeted for 2007. Join me and do your part to shorten the tail.
