Not Long Ago, and Not Far Away …
In a land known as “The Bay Area”, President Obama met with high tech industry leaders, especially the entrepreneurial ones, to discuss how to create jobs. Of course, that is not really what President Obama meant. He didn’t mean, “create jobs in Kenya and Nepal,” he was seeking ways to create jobs for Americans in America. A person would have to presume that you could include the idea of repatriating some of the tech support jobs from the Phili

Budget Cuts Preview, or NOT?
Black History Future
It's not as confusing as it sounds. See our PRESS RELEASE here.
BIG Money and Bigger Money
The very large numbers involved in any discussion of the US Federal Budget, the Budget Deficit, and especially the “National Debt” get tossed around a lot these days. A friend sent me a link to a video that shows how misleading some of those numbers are because we just don’t have a human scale of perspective to draw on that really gives a true sense of proportion.

Obama & the SOTU Flashback, Clostridium in my Kitchen = Biobutanol? State of the BioButanol (revised?)
Do You Remember Zippo?
Zippo was the "wind-proof" cigar and cigarette lighter design from the 1930's and 1940's that lasted a very long time, until butane disposable lighters became popular.
Well, for those who haven't been following my column for a while may not know that I am a "fan" of a biofuel made from the same "base" molecule as butane. It is called butanol, or on our case biobutanol. The big news in butane happened a few years ago (who says there's not such thing as "old news"? It'

It will NOT take a decade for Algae Oil to replace Petroleum
I apologize that this is a bit of a "rant" and less polite than I usually am in public, but my frustration level is very high when I see yet another who set of pronouncements that implementing algae biofuels will take "decades".
Sometimes I think that algae oil is not just a case of "the blind leading the blind" but a case of the blind leading the blonde stupid. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I am tired of listening to these "conservative" estimates who primarily want to avoid being disappo

Obama V. Congress, Export Ideas = Jobs
My apologies for a late post this week. I was accumulating "too much information" before I was satisfied I had "enough" to say. I finally realized that I usually say more than a mouthful with every post, so I am trying to "feed you" in smaller, bite-sized bits (and bytes).
Black Mark for Congress
When they talk about, “The buck stops here,” I sometimes wish “they” (whoever they are) were talking about my bank balance, but frankly, I haven’t been hit as hard by the economic

Supercritical Water + Biomass = Oil, True Grit, The Price of Fuel
Super Critical
If it weren’t for the fact that my family already has a motto (“There’s no such thing as a ‘bad’ cookie.”) the heading above could have qualified as the guiding dictum in our house, which is my excuse for being a neurotic as I am. Other than that, however, “Super critical” is a technical, even “scientific” term for a substance that has undergone sufficient physical change (in terms of thermal energy)(aka “heat”) that its temperature would normally have
