Newby advice
I get to do this because I'm an old guy and you're young and just starting out in this business. Or maybe you've been around the block but you know someone who can use this advice. Either way, I hope it helps. Thanks for reading me.

Wood!
Well, it turns out the world (or at least Europe) wants our wood. This sure is getting interesting! And thanks to, subscriber, Robert O'Brien for sharing this one.

Hot rocks
That's what's been providing heat to this massive resort for the past three years. Which proves, at least in some areas of the country, that things will start looking up when smart people start looking down.

MIT never sleeps
The brains at Cambridge continue to churn out stuff that makes me realize (yet again) how very dumb I actually am in the grand scheme of things. More nanotube magic this time. Be sure to watch the video in this article, and consider what this could do for carbon monoxide detection and beyond.

May be strange to Americans
But in parts of the U.K. they use off-peak electricity to heat ceramic blocks, which then hold the heat until the folks living in the flats need it. Problem is, the flat folks are turning the knobs to control the fans that blow air across the ceramic. That often has them feeling too hot. So they open the windows. You know, human stuff. So along comes a company that proposes to control all of these heaters by the weather report. No sensors anywhere, just the guy or gal on the tellie. Which just may work. Here's the story.

And nothing to do with politics. I just think this TED video is important. We should prepare.
