Almost Prophetic, I was

If I had written out my story thoughts, I would have almost been prophetic. I have sci-fi plots in my head that included weather altering satellites, though in my case they will end up going horribly wrong. There's just not as much plot in things that go right. And now, the solar feed satellite thing, which will solve all our energy concerns (or at least I'm betting someone thinks so), can apparently kill hurricanes.

Nifty, if it works. Sucks, if it ends up making worse weather problems...

Blue is the new Green?

For all you earth-lovin'/creation saving/treehugger/eco-defender types who are also addicted to your portable technology, you may now rejoice: Samsung has released a solar powered phone! Guess they're tired of "green" because they've called it "Blue Earth." There are some skeptics out there, and they do make some good points, but apparently we have to wait a while to get this phone anyways so there's some time to get our hopes up. Oh, and by "eco friendly" they don't just mean "we won't suck juice out of the wall" but also "we won't poison you with our products." I always like that. Consistency people, it's a good thing.

New dream list: phones I don't need to charge, cars I don't need to charge, backpacks that charge the things I do need to charge... Who needs grid, anyways, right?
