What’s Up?

Oct-24-2009 By Barbara Zak

For the last week or two, some of you may have been wondering if I fell off the planet!  :).  Not the case.  I just wanted to give you a quick update on what’s up around here.

Something went terribly wrong with my last theme.  It was totally messed up , and not displaying nicely at all, on Explorer.  I was also having some internal issues, while posting inside the blog.  The theme was totally replaced once, but IE still didn’t like it, no matter what was tried.

So, it was time to seek out a new theme, to see if that would correct the problems.  VOILA..  It did!  Now, I have my own new customized look.  Let me know what you think.

Special Thanks, goes to Theresa Cahill, of Whole-Hog-Blogs, for the extensive time and effort, she put into making the necessary changes!

See where the cutest ladybugs live!

JellyFish Windpower!

Due to the enthusiastic response (over 100,oo0 enthusiastic submisssions), it is taking longer than anticipated to review all the applicants for Google’s Great Idea Contest.  Called Project 10^100th Power, Google’s initiative has been collecting ideas from the public since last year.  The deadline to submit your idea was October, 20, 2008.

The idea behind this project is a call for ideas to change the world, by helping as many people as possible.  Google employees, with the help of an advisory board are now in the review phase (this phase began on Jan27,2009) of this portion of the contest.  Voting for your favorite idea will begin on March 17, 2009.  I will keep you informed, and plan to have it set-up for you to cast your vote here. for the Chad Maglaque’s JellyFish -plug-in wind power machine. You can show your support for his invention, and leave comments for him at You tube.

Funding from a pool of $10 million, will be awarded in May.  If the judges approve 5 winners, each will recieve $2 million.  If only 2 winners are chosen, each will recieve $ 5 million.

Project 10^100 is much like the Google sponsored Lunar XPRIZE,  which is a $30 million International competition.  The plan is to safely land a robot on the moon, then travel 500 meters on the lunar surface.  The object then, is to collect data and images and send it back to earth.  Currently, there are 16 teams competing.  The first team to successfully land on the moon and complete the mission objectives, wins the prize!
