I want to send a big Congrats to SSC –Seminole State College– and their new eco-friendly building (well, re-build). When I was first a student there several years ago (back when it was SCC), this building was already in existence, but they remodeled it to add panels to capture sunlight, and the entire inside was also redone. Bra-Vo! They finished it over the summer, and also have new buildings since I was first there. Great school, and very thankful for everything and everyone there who has helped me along the way. I’ve learned that teachers can make a huge impact on your life, and very very thankful for the inspiration shown by some of the teachers there (particularly Terri Walsh, my current accounting teacher!!).
Bare hug?

For those of you who geek out on NPR like I do, I was listening to the Diane Rehm Show and this broadcast about green energy. It’s fascinating, and I’m just wondering why we here are not as involved and proactive with the “evolution” of it as some other countries. Excited for when it begins to be more of a reality, this particular interview explained how it works, and the (major) benefits of it. Super cool to hear how it would impact (and help save power & resources) through several different methods – pay attention, this applies to you! –Well, IF you happen to use a washing machine, or dryer, or….
The interview was with Jeremy Rifkin (founder & president of the Foundation on Economic Trends (FOET), adviser to the European Union, and author of “The Hydrogen Economy,” “The Biotech Century” and “The End of Work”), educating us about the use of renewable energies and how the merge with the internets will have a substantial impact on “going green”–and what the outcomes will be.

Not only are spiders not afraid of heights, but how they build amazing webs in seemingly mid-air is far beyond me, not to mention their patience. Furthermore, the elements their webs are capable of withstanding is something only Mother Nature could design.. this little guy is about the size of my thumbnail, and about 15′ up in his beautiful (& perfectly constructed) web. “Cool” seems like an understatement.
