Ran across the mention of a car powered by air on Scott Adam’s blog today. Check out the video, it is pretty fascinating.
There are more videos on the company website taken from different television features.
I remember when I first arrived in university back in 1999. I had heard of people being vegetarian but when someone told me they were vegan, first thought was, “What on earth is a vegan?” The answer hit me like a tidal wave when we ordered pizza and there wasn’t any cheese.

TED has introduced Al Gore’s new presentation on environmental concerns. Some of the most fascinating points that he makes is that in order to act on his new findings concerning global warming, people need to feel a sense of urgency (I guess we’re still procrastinating…) — and after listening to military historians — he [...]
Nathan who runs a brilliant blog called, FlowingData, posted a large number of visualizations focused on energy conservation today.

World Wildlife Canada is holding its 18th Annual CN Tower Climb — I’m sure many Torontonians will join in to raise money for the cause — how’re you supporting your cause?
