Hydrogen
Fuel Technology - I was a big fan of Hydrogen Fuel
as an alternative to gasoline, however there are too
many logistical problems with it. In summary - after
a careful evaluation of all the issues, I concur with
Don Lancaster
and believe that terrestrial use of Hydrogen as a Fuel
source (err - okay - an "energy transport media")
is not logical and should not be adopted (Unless the
mean temperature of the earth somehow adjusts to less
than -253 degrees).
Despite the huge number of dollars
wasted on Hydrogen technology, it is extremely
unlikely to ever make an impact. Anyone with
a Physics 101 background and knowledge
of some of the simpler rules of energy transfer
can tell you that the math just doesn't add up. They
are right! Rather than repeat what Don has already written
in his Guru's
Lair, I will reference the material. I highly recommend
you download and read
this PDF on Energy Fundamentals before running out
and investing in companies like Ballard. It saved me
a lot of money!!!
Sombrio
Freewear Company - this is a clothing company that
I started with Dave
Watson (yes - my crazy Canadian friend who actually
jumped the
peleton at the 2003 Tour de France). Sombrio makes
excellent clothing for hard core mountain biking, racing
and just casual wear.
Matt
MacKenzie - my technology partner in Crime. Matt
and I founded two start ups together now - XML
Global Technologies, Inc and Yellow
Dragon Software. We now both work at Adobe Systems
post the Nov 2003 acquisition of YDS by Adobe.
Shopping
Cart Abuse - This has to be one of the funniest
sites I have ever come accross. Kudos for design and
content. On the ground - laughing hard!!!!
MulletJunky.com
- I used to have a mullet! Here is the picture
of me with a mullet. I played in several rock bands
back in the early 1980's and loved the mullet look.
My first was called "Driven
Force" and the second was "Ace
Koden". Now - this site plays an important
role in documenting the culture and worldwide mullet
movement.
