Turn up the heat and lose weight
That's the conclusion of this 13-year study in the U.K. At first, they thought that shivering people would be thinner but it turns out it's just the opposite. Surprised?

More big stuff
How about some (relatively) low-cost, liquid batteries that can store energy from those solar panels and wind turbines? Check this out. And this company as well. They deal only with huge stuff and they're developing self-healing grids. Be sure to watch that video on the right side of their site. I'm glad there are smart people thinking about these things.

Render unto Ceasar
In which case, we can assign this new radiant floor to that long-gone Roman. Don't you wish you had a Roman bath next door that you could use to heat your place? I sure do.

Heating and braless sweatshirts
This one I share with you because I just think it's a fine piece of writing. "Comfort is my number one - the knowledge that you've met a deadline and haven't pissed any of your friends off and there's peanut butter and someone loves you - that's all of it for me. I'll never again take for granted the breathtaking decadence of cereal at night, of my life of comfort, and the heating on loud." Gorgeous!
