This is one invention that has been talked about and around for awhile now. I have always thought it was possible since my first argument with my High School teacher. Take a look at there site and see what you think? Click Here! See for yourself!
 With everything comes something good and bad, take the good with the bad, you can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need or so it seems when we look at the debates around wind turbines. By the way the windmill is normally a water pump and a wind turbine is an electrical generator.Just something I picked up at a class lately and looked up online using Wikipedia. With all the discussions, especially on Maui and in Hawaii, Wind is considered an important Resource and with our normal Trade Winds, this is rightly so.
The Electrical Utility worker classified as Communication/Electronic Technician, although working within the Electrical Utility may rarely be involved in work that the public may visualize. The Lineman is most often seen out on the side of the road. These are the men and women that are tasked with installing and repairing the lines, poles and hardware associated with delivering the electrical power to homes and businesses.
The Communication/Electronics Technician is involved in the "behind the scenes" operation of everything from the power plants to the home. The Communication/Electronics Technician works on the radio, fiber, microwave, telephone lines, two-way radio and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Distribution Automation).
As Maui moves more towards an mindset that includes renewable energy, we find that there seem to be many people interested in achieving energy independence and yet with the economy and real estate market such as it is, it is hard to find moneys to move in that direction. I have taken a number of classes on Maui, spent literally thousands of dollars to attend meetings on the mainland to try and get a grasp on what the future holds for the energy section only and all I can tell you is that all though it has been done successfully elsewhere, it seems like on Maui and in Hawaii, we seem to be trying to reinvent the wheel.
With all the technology there is today to produce electricity from Nuclear power plants to alternate sources like Sun, Wind, Plants, Water and Algae, as well as the various technologies to help us use less electricity. We sometimes will overlook the simple and effective ways to save energy and money.
 This weekend, while helping to watch my granddaughter, I undertook cleaning the refrigerator. Not the inside, although it can use it, but the underneath. The forgotten zone.
The first day of the Maui County Energy Expo was energizing in it's own right. With a host of people representing the future Sustainability of Maui, Hawaii.
The opening address by Mayor Charmaine Tavares of Maui County brought on a renewed sense of direction and feeling that Maui, as a whole, is heading in the right direction.
Mayor Tavares Re-dedicated her efforts, despite the bad economic times, to continue on a path of Sustainability and to find the money. She pointed out our responsibilities individually and collectively, government, business and individuals to work towards a goal of a Sustainable Energy Future.
For much of the past year, the major criticism of Foursquare was that it only worked in a few select cities in the U.S. and was basically iPhone-only. In the past few months, both Foursquare itself and a growing core of third-party developers have changed that. Today brings yet another expansion in the Foursquare universe with the beta launch of a Windows Mobile app.
To be clear, this app is only meant for touch screen Windows phones, and you need to be running either Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5. But if you have those, you can submit your email address here to be let into the beta. Once they kick the tires in beta for a bit, the plan is to submit the app to the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, Windows Mobile Sr. Product Manager Anand Iyer writes today on his personal blog. Iyer has been working on this project on the side for a few months now, and made the app along with the help of development house Touchality.
This isn’t (yet) an officially sanctioned Foursquare app, but Iyer and crew have been working with the Foursquare team since before the public APIs were made available to get it done. Foursquare itself made its iPhone app and the just-launched BlackBerry app, but the Android app and the WebOS app (that works on the Palm Pre) were also done by a team outside the company. This addition of a Windows Mobile app leaves Symbian as the only major mobile OS with a native client, but work is also being done on that front. Foursquare also offers a limited mobile web version.
Foursquare itself is hard at work on a complete revamping of their main website. While it currently serves as a way to view some of your location data, you can’t do things such as check-in from the site. For that, I’d recommend using the excellent FoursquareX application. Unfortunately, that is Mac-only for now.
Popular location-based social network Brightkite has simultaneously released mobile apps for some Nokia as well as Palm smartphones.
The release of the apps follows earlier launches of Android, BlackBerry and iPhone applications.
The Nokia app can be downloaded from the Ovi Store already and should run fine on all Symbian S60 5th Edition phones, including the Nokia N97 and the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
Brightkite curiously doesn’t use its own brand name for the Palm app, which was baptized Parafoil instead. The application was custom-developed for Palm’s WebOS platform and is compatible with the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi devices.
I’m told the reason that it isn’t named Brightkite, is because the program was actually developed by two Brightkite users, John Barker and Kyle Johnson, based on the startup’s open API.
As you can tell from the third screenshot embedded below, Brighkite has adopted the ‘check-in’ moniker to let people update their friends on their current locations and what they’re up to.
Brightkite says the United States remains its biggest market, but that international markets are growing in importance, which prompts the company to expand its range of handset support. The company adds that it currently sees about 2 million people using Brightkite on a monthly basis, across all platforms (though the vast majority uses it on a phone).
Like bad beer, cracker jacks, and drunken fans getting hammered in the parking lot, smack-talking and sports-betting are staples of American sports. And that’s why Bema Studios created Smackdaddy, a free iPhone app [iTunes link] that allows you to both bet on games (currently just NFL, NHL and NBA) and tell your friends they smell.
I got a chance to play with Smackdaddy this Sunday and loved it – it is easy to use, intuitive, and addictive
