A few months ago, I watched a film called Food, Inc that so impacted my way of looking at food and how big business has literally changed the food we ingest, that I radically changed our family food preparation and consumption. (For past posts, head over to the “Health and Fitness” category in the [...]
I’ve been invited to participate in the 2010 TechConnect conference taking place next week in Anaheim. The program is all about clean energy, creating smart grids and community use of energy on and off the grid. Timing is perfect with the Gulf Oil spill top of everyone’s mind. Some brilliant minds from top universities, [...]
Here I sit, again, writing at my dining room table, with doors fully open, the smell of jasmine and roses, lavendar and rosemary gentlingin on the breeze. I’ve just been reading news reports and emails regarding the oil well explosion tragically killing 11 workers and the resulting break in the pipeline that is decimating the [...]
A reader happened upon a post from 2006 (pre-crash) about finding a job at 50 plus. The comment:
… I really do want to know about starting a NEW career at 50+. I worked my way into my last career, NO COLLEGE DEGREE, making $95k+, laid off, and after two years of searching realize I’ll probably [...] Many readers will get this after tonight’s State of the Union, so I decided I wouldn’t talk about what I hoped and expected to hear, other than in relation to my thoughts after attending an incredible conference yesterday. The VerdExchange Green Marketers Conference was held for a select group of entrepreneurs, manufacturers, government officials, [...]
There are two aspects to the LA Auto Show that have captured my attention this year. The first is the innovation that is emerging in sustainable energy (and I’ll have a post just on the green cars I enjoyed test driving.) The second is the continual shakeup in the auto industy — this time at GM.
By now, everyone [...] Volt is on the left and Cruze is on the right The great thing about the Auto Show media events is that you get to speak with the designers and marketers and really get inside their heads and their visions for their cars. Today’s Chevrolet event highlighted the Volt and the Cruze. The designers [...] As I was making blueberry muffins this morning, I started reflecting on the vast difference between how I related to nature when I worked in a concrete office, versus how I feel running a business from my home.
On a personal level, for example, on nice days, I can take my laptop into the garden and [...] Because I have a pet care business, I deal with a lot of dog poop. Usually my team and I pick up the poop and stick in green recycling bins, but I’m taking it a step further in my garden. After doing a bit of research, I’ve found an easy to make, fantastic addition [...]
The California budget and economy is falling apart. 21,000 state employees are getting layoff notices in about a minute. Those remaining will be forced to take 2 day furloughs per month — but at least they’ll still have their work. The federal stimulus package was just signed by Obama, so over time, some lost ground [...]
