My newest Grist post on flying wind turbines! Yes at least small scale demonstrations have proven that it is possible. A lot of serious people think it is practical and could provide reliable inexpensive electricity. No we don't know for sure, but ought to find out. If you find it interesting, please register with Grist and leave a comment on this post so that Grist will know that people read my stuff.
Thanks Deena. Corrected.
Gar's link didn't work for me. This one should be right. [link]
So, I, um, started a blog: NORA in NOLA.
My roommate, Bonnie, is trying out for Oprah's Your Own Show. She's lost 130 lbs. and gotten fit using her own recipes, some work with a trainer, and a lot of dedication - what she wants now is to help others get fit and healthy. If you're so inclined, please take a look at her video and throw her a vote... [link]

PROVIDENCE F2F
CONTACT SHEET TIME!!!!
If you are even possibly coming to the F2F for any of it please send me the following so I can put them together in an orderly fashion:
The contact sheet is more important than EVAH this year as a) we're not a "group" so the hotel will be of no help finding us; b) so many people are local and not staying at the hotel.
Profile addy is good. Pleeeeeease send me the info even if you're certain I have it.
I'm looking for a new roommate!
If you know anyone who's looking for a place to live in NYC let me know. [link]
It's $825 a month for one large room (11x14) in my quiet, sunny, three bedroom apt. It's really a great deal.
X-post with the Somervillian e-mail list regarding the F2F: I really would like to have final numbers as soon as possible for anyone attending Al Forno's restaurant on Friday, June 25th or for prom at Paragon restaurant on Saturday, June 26th, so I can give the restaurant our final numbers. If you are planning on attending either of these nights please let me know in the F2F thread or at my profile addy when you can. Thanks.
