Note to PGE regarding Google PowerMeter

February 25, 2010 by 3 Comments

Google Power Meter

Hello PGE,

I read the Oregonian article below which talks about Google’s PowerMeter application, and I’d like to know what it would take to bring this service to Portland?

here’s a link to the article: https://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2010/02/qa_with_googles_green_energy_c.html

and here’s a link to the application. https://www.google.org/powermeter/

I assume this will take some action on PGE’s and Google’s part to make it happen.

If you’re in the mood to ask PGE about this, here’s a link to their contact form. https://cs.portlandgeneral.com/Secure/ContactUs/Default.aspx?cookie_test=true

Thanks!

green smoothieHow to start your day the Eecole way with a nutritious, delicious smoothie!

Blend together
1 cup organic frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana recommended)
1 cup Hemp or Almond milk (cover the rest of the fruit with water)
1 TBS flax seeds (ground)
4 TBS Hemp Protein Powder
1 TBS almond butter
1 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp spirulina
1/2 tsp tumeric
A pinch of salt

Blend and serve – best enjoyed right after the smoothie is blended.

Why this smoothie is good for you: This is a great balanced smoothie with lots of protein to tide you over until lunch. Cinnamon helps control blood sugar, tumeric is a great anti-inflammatory, and all of that hemp serves up a dose of omega-3’s that keep your cholesterol in check.

1.21.13 – ingredients we’ve been adding: cucumber, tahini sub for almond butter (or, peanut butter), meyer lemon, baby bok choi, maca powder

Thanks to Eecole Copen of Belly Love for this recipe!

Talking about population issues on TV

Human Population Growth

I was asked to be on a local cable access show recently to talk about population issues.  Here’s the video.  The sound quality is not great in the beginning, but clears up quickly.  I’d love your feedback.

Let’s work together to get your social networking game on!

Social Networking

Hello there,

I want to offer you my services. I have been spending the past two years helping people get their email and social-networking games on. Whether it’s figuring out how to use the programs you have already, or branching into new territory, I can help you get going. I’m happy to work with beginners who don’t have a cleu, to those who are a bit more advanced but who would like to take the next step in learning how to swim in different pools and make bigger waves.

I am happy to work with you for U.S. or foreign currency on a sliding scale or possibly a bartering arrangement which includes some sort of home-cooked soup or a massage, firewood or a midnight road-trip to Las Vegas.

Yes, we will have fun together. Yes, we will both learn things.

Get in touch,

Happy New Year: mentoring

January 5, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Mentoring

I’ve started spending one hour a week with a 7th grader at the Beaumont Middle School in Portland. We sit down together and work on whatever he’s got up. One week it was vocabulary, and this week it was math. He also shares a little about his life with me, and I with him. We also talk about nutrition and relationships a little, but mostly it’s help with schoolwork. I’m finding it a fascinating chance to see what it’s like to be in 6th grade these days from the perspective of a 48-year old. I look forward to continuing to get to know him and help him along. And, I also look forward to my increasing awareness of what young peoples’ lives are like in the public school system. If you want to get involved in the mentoring program, get in touch with your school and they’ll set you up.
