The show was fantastic. Chris is energetic, and a showman. The first show highlight for me was A Thousand Kisses Deep based upon the song from one of my all time favorite song writers/poets, Leonard Cohen. Botti's rendition , Cohen's )The next, without a doubt, was his drummer's solo. Billy Kilson is amazing. | SMASHMOUTH MARKETING MAY 10, 2007 Culture in The Can I have a couple fun things I do on a regular basis. Things that make me feel good because I'm making others feel good or learn something new. love sharing knowledge and good fortune. The first is just silly. When I'm walking somewhere and realize I have a penny in my pocket, I'll drop it. imagine making someone's day when they find their "lucky penny" and spend the rest of their day on a semi-high. The second thing I do is not as silly. In a given day, I'll read a good 100-200 RSS posts per day in Google Reader. Well I am a news "snacker". Today's article: Banksy Was Hear from the New Yorker. | | | | | |
| SMASHMOUTH MARKETING MAY 3, 2007 Bee Die-Off Threatens Food Supply This summer when that bee hovers around you, don't kill it, wish it well. The pollination source for 80% of our food supply is severely threatened right now. As stated in the Discover article, Bee Die-Off Threatens Food Supply : "U.S. beekeepers in the past few months have lost one-quarter of their colonies, or about five times the normal winter losses, because of what scientists have dubbed Colony Collapse Disorder. The problem started in November and seems to have spread to 27 states, with similar collapses reported in Brazil, Canada and parts of Europe." One small food chain. | SMASHMOUTH MARKETING APRIL 30, 2007 Harnessing Wind Energy from Cars Snipped from Archinect.com, this article shows a brilliant application of harnessing wind energy -- "Average vehicle speeds on the valley highways are approximately 70 mph. Using average annual wind speeds of 10 mph as a baseline, each single wind turbine will produce 9,600KwH of energy, annually (enough to fully power my 700 s.f. apartment). This power production estimate will increase exponentially with an increase in wind turbulence speed. My modification to the proposal? Install the turbines underneath existing overpasses thus reducing the construction costs. | SMASHMOUTH MARKETING APRIL 11, 2007 New York City is Greener than all of Massachusetts? Scientific American says today that the New York City is The Greenest Place in America. They state that "The state of New York 'uses less energy, on a per capita basis, than any state in America.' The average New Yorker 'generates less than a third of the carbon emissions that the average American does.' And here's why: Yes, it houses 8.2 million citizens and uses an enormous amount of energy to do so. Its electrical load, more than 12,000 megawatts, is as large as all of Massachusetts. Time to buy a bicycle for my 6 mile commute. | SMASHMOUTH MARKETING APRIL 10, 2007 Colin Beavan - No Impact Man Colin Beavan was recently on Colbert to talk about his year without toilet paper. Despite my only recent interest in living a low impact life, to see someone trying for No Impact is a huge challenge. Colbert did rip him fairly well, but Colin did quite well. Especially as Colbert ran 2:30 on a microwave with nothing in it just to waste energy. | | | | | | | |

SMASHMOUTH MARKETING | SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 2007 Castro, Corn and Capitalism
I never in my life thought I would be looking towards Fidel Castro for ethical words about economy and renewable resources, but just as he has suprised the world by remaining in power all these years, he has suprised us again by writing a deathbed manifesto on the evils of corn based ethanol. His country may be suffering from the rising price of corn, but we all will be suffering from the negative benefit of corn based biofuels. It all sounds good, but when one considers how much petrol based energy goes into the production of corn based energy, it begins to make less sense. MORE >> -
SMASHMOUTH MARKETING | TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 2007 Save a Tree
FACTS ON JUNK MAIL from the Native Forest Network The average person gets only 1.5 personal letters each week, compared to 10.8 pieces of junk mail. Each person will receive almost 560 pieces of junk mail this year. That's 4.5 million tons of junk mail produced each year! 44% of all junk mail is thrown in the trash, unopened and unread. Approximately 40% of the solid mass that makes up our landfills is paper and paperboard waste. By the year 2010, it is predicted to make up about 48%. 100 million trees are ground up each year to produce junk mail. Need I say more? MORE >> -

SMASHMOUTH MARKETING | MONDAY, MAY 7, 2007 Ubuntu - No More Tech Support
After years of removing viruses and pop ups and ad-ware from my kid's computers, I finally tried an experiment, which led to another experiment. Like most of us, I have old computers in storage. In my case, I have 3 or 4 just stacked up. Not even real old, mind you, but in the 700 Mhz - 1Ghz range.decent little boxes. So after reading about Ubuntu for months on LifeHacker , one of my favorite blogs, I decided to give it a shot. The new release was expected out any day, so I hooked up a box and built a boot disk. All I can say is holly crap! called over my 13 year old, Melissa, and showed her. MORE >>
