A Call To Action Worth Hearing Again

This call from then 12 year old Severn Cullis-Suzuki was done in 1992.
Have we heeded the warning?
Are we different now?
Change on a massive scale, such as what is needed for the entire planet, can be slow and even the change invisible to the eye and mind of humans. But each action does change the world and the people in it. We are never the same once the information has been imparted.

Gas Prices
300 MPG Vehicle
This car caught my attention yesterday while surfing the web. 300mpg highway and the possibility to got 1000 miles on one gallon at lower speeds.
Aptera comes in a Hybrid or all Electric versions. Sleek, modern and a car that makes sense.
Oh, and the price... Under $30K expected! Right now you can reserve one if you live in Southern California for support and maintenance reasons. My hope is this car company will be able to expand rapidly across the US. Personally, I want one. I could drive around Sedona on all electric and when I need to go further, I can. The price point puts this car in the budget of a large portion of American families too. Not just a car for the wealthy...

Rapidweaver 4 Released into the Wild...

It has been a busy day, not to mention the week before, but Rapidweaver 4.0 (RW4) made it's way out of Beta. Along with it a whole new Rapidweaver web site, forum and manual.
IMHO, this is the best RW yet. An updated interface as well as something very new; Sandwiches. Real Mac Software has created an open file format for the Rapidweaver Project file called a Sandwich. You can right click on this file and access all the stored information that RW4 uses to create the site files when you publish or export the site. This opens possibilities for editing the site even when you don't have RW4 around to work on the site. I have not delved into this deeply yet, it will be interesting.
To put the frosting on the cake, all popular plugins where updated recently to work work with RW4. The newest member of this family is Collage2. Isaiah over at Yourhead has created a whole new version of this popular plugin. You can use Collage v1 right along with Collage 2. Just remember that Collage 2 is not compatible with previous versions of Rapidweaver and does not work with existing pages created with Collage v1.
If you are holding back, my word is: Don't. Jump in and get RW4. It's free for all RW3.6+ users. Don't forget to update your plugins too.
Just in case you are wondering where the old Forum is with all it's content, check out this Post

A Simple Thing You Can Do to have Safer Water

Think you're water bottle is safe? Think again. Check to see if it is a "1" type of plastic and not a "3", "6" or "7"
A few simple changes, like only using type "1" bottles, can eliminate one more possible hazard (hormone mimicking chemical - see video).

A Restaurant Rave

I don't often rave about an eating experience but every once in a while I have one of those experiences that is memorable. In fact my wife, Faith, and I ate at this restaurant 3 times in a row!
I have been printing out recipes from from Bobby Flay for a while now. All have been great stuff. Now I have finally had the experience of eating at the Mesa Grill in Las Vegas. All I can say is WOW! and WOW! All Faith & I wanted to do was come back for more to try other dishes. Each flavor and texture were exquisite. Both subtle and bold flavors. Everything from the fish tacos to the signature tamale and prawns appetizer where wonderful.
And Bobby was "in the house" updating the menu while we were there. And yes, I got the cookbook too. :)
I do have to thank my good buddy (and ex sous chef) Ace for the recommendation. Ace, I will go where ever you say to eat...
So next time you are in Las Vegas do yourself a favor and experience this place. We will be going back, and soon!
Also in New York and The Bahamas
