Sarah Meyers’ Pop17 Launches

admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:12:32 +0000

Sarah Meyers‘ own video blog internet child, Pop17, has launched!

I really like the website it is similar code to Rocketboom but Sarah is utilizing Viddler (like Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library TV). What is neat about Viddler is the fact that you can comment on a spot of the actual video. People’s comments, if appropriate, will pop-up as you are viewing the video which makes it even more interactive.

What I am confused about is the whole Pop17 vs PopSnap confusion. Obviously Pop17 has launched - what is PopSnap? Is there some brand confusion going on here??? I suppose that I am relatively new to Sarah Meyers so I have no idea what is going on.

Good luck Sarah and Pop17 - I am looking forward to more shows.

Now I can’t wait for Rocketboom to launch Elspeth’s new show and Joanne’s new show. When are they going to launch?

Update: Sarah explains the difference between PopSnap and Pop17 on her blog.

“It’s called Pop17 because I read a story on Digg that says 17 is the most popular number. I wanted to find something memorable so I took out the Snap and put in the 17.”

Today is a good day to update a blog. It is cold and windy outside. The snow is not the snow to play in so it looks like we will be inside today.

Unless!!

Israel improves solar power

admin — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 00:45:12 +0000

Well the Israeli’s seem to beat the middle east and all of the world when it comes to water reclamation and preservation and additionally it would appear that it is going to do it again with solar power.

David Faiman has improved upon solar power and has come up with a solution that generates 10 times the amount of power of conventional solar power.

The Israeli academic [David Faiman] claims that, using his designs, an array covering 4.6 sq. mi. in Israel’s Negev desert could generate as much as 1,000 MW, or 10% of the country’s energy needs, and he claims the price should be competitive with coal-fired power plants.

Also we can check out this great interview with the inventor himself:

Save the Great Lakes!

admin — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 03:30:49 +0000

There is a lot of talk, thanks to the droughts in the Southeast and the fires in the Southwest, that the Midwest should be sharing it’s plentiful water resources, aka the Great Lakes.

Here is a harsh reality folks… the Great Lakes water source is something like 95% deposited water from glacier deposits. The majority of the water is there because it was deposited, not because it comes from some magical source. Not because rainfall and snow runoff give it great abundance. It is because it was left there. It isn’t replenishing itself - in fact we might be taking too much too quick.

Please stop by a site that I built, for a friend, about saving the Great Lakes. It’s called We Can Save The Great Lakes and the statement is true to it’s name. It is ours to save or destory.
