How toilets save tigers
 I know, that seems like a stretch, but it's happening in Nepal. Check out this article from Fast Company about how they're using poop for heating, lighting and cooking. And when you're through reading, that would be a fine time to count your blessings. Don't you think? |

Swedish garbage
 Want to see what they do with it? Watch this video. It's impressive, and the graphics are terrific. Talk about thinking things through! |

Something new from China
 Well, China by way of the U.K. (University of Nottingham is international). How's this for a fascinating new building material? I'll bet the brains at MIT are taking notice. Watch out! |

Prove it, or else
That's what U.K. advertising watchdogs are telling some of the manufacturers of air-source heat pumps and solar panels as the manufacturers make claims of savings to consumers. There's a big push for renewables in the U.K., and this article shows how the promises are flying about. Let the buyer beware because this can happen anywhere. Prove it.

Nothing to do with heating
 But guaranteed to make your jaw go slack. Thanks to subscriber, Doug, for sharing this video of what it's like to be inside a car when a tsunami strikes. What would you do? I mean other than say that? |

Build your own nuke?
 Just when I was starting to get over this debt-crisis mess and feel okay with the world once again, subscriber, Peter Kovaleski, who happens to be a Professional Engineer, hit me with this experiment from Sweden. I always enjoy hearing from engineers. They see the possibilities in things. Yikes! |

Have your cake and install it too!
 How about this masterpiece from the chubby folks at "Cake Boss?" Yum! Yes, I'd like to start with the baseboard if you don't mind. |

A great read
 My friend Heidi Thorne just wrote a book about SWAG. Heidi is a promotional-products marketing expert. You know all the stuff you get at tradeshows? That's SWAG. Some of it you keep; most of it you toss, right? Heidi's book offers advice to anyone who is in a position to buy SWAG for his or her customers. This book is filled with subtle things I had never considered. I thought you might like it as much as I did. Amazon has it and here's a link to Heidi's blog, which is worth a bookmark. |

Go West Old Man!
 That's what The Lovely Marianne told me, and she'll be coming along to offer books and whatnot at a nice discount in the back of the room. We're taking the Dead Men's Steam School on the road next month. Here's a link to the dates and locations. We have room for just 50 at each and we hope you'll join us. See you then! |
