Besides just being interested in the Tesla Roadster I’ve been on a big eco-friendly kick, and just had an odd interest in power electronics in general lately. To that end, here are some odd links.
Very cool:

Another note, I’m possibly going to be putting solar power in the house…no joke. We have a very exposed south facing side of the roof, and even in the winter you can run the meter backwards during the day. It is going to be through a neat company exploring a new buisness model for solar installations. It is an interesting rental idea, where they do the install and own the equipment, and you only pay a flat rental fee. It has a bit of a pyramid thinger to it, so if you do it say that I referred you. The local rep I’m working through is at this site and the company is called Citizenre.
A weird link for you.

and another neat one having to do with wireless power for your cell phone.

Tomorrow I update on my mythTV project which now has some basic TV tuning capabilities…now I just need an antenna to get the signals 🙂 Updates when I finish it.
