The 100% Solar-Powered House at Point Diablo in Beautiful Marin County.

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Wouldn’t it be nice to live in this light house at Point Diablo in Marin County, California? You’d have great views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, that’s for sure.

Downsides of this location include the dangers of an occasional oil spill (like we had with the Cosco Busan) and the long walk up the stairs from where you’d dock your boat.

The upside is that getting LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification would be a piece of cake. You’d already have renewable energy and water-efficient landscaping, so making a few alterations could get easily get you certified up to silver, gold, platinum, whatever.

All that’s left to do is make an offer, move in and then meet the neighbors.

San Francisco Resident/Astronaut Scares the World - Global Cooling, A New Ice Age?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

It seems there’s a little black spot on the sun today. It’s the same old thing as yesterday.

That’s very disconcerting to San Francisco resident Phil Chapman, a geophysicist who was the first Australian to become a NASA astronaut. You see, we need more of those little spots on El Sol so things don’t get too frosty. He actually wants you to pray for more sunspots.

That’s right, forget global warming - an ice age is coming and the only question is when it will get here.

Hang in there little doggy, there’s a chance Philip K Chapman is wrong.
