Tripple G, threatening pastures everywhere…

Tripple G…  Google, goats, and greenery.  Seems Google has hired a goat farmer to trim the lawn.  Pretty sweet.  Ever think that border collie chasing them is like “One of these days I’m going to catch one, then they’ll be scared.”
Here’s an interesting concept.  Car free weekends.  Jakarta is a very congested car crazy city.   [...]

Happy Earth Day

It’s probably rude to cut the grass on earth day right?  Yes….
Living green is work.  There’s extra steps and cost involved to do many things, and to me it all comes back to convienence.  We have paid a lot, and sacrificed more for convienence.   There’s somethings that I don’t want to live without.  Indoor plumbing?  Highly convienent, [...]

Weekly Summary 4/20/09

Ok, so it’s more like a monthly summary.  Sue me.
I’ve eaten horribly the last two weeks.  A coworker was in town for one week (ate out every meal), and my father was in town last week (again eating out a lot).  The first week I gained 2 lbs, the second week I did a lot [...]

White House to plant a Victory Garden!

Awesome news.  The White House will have a Victory Garden.  This is fuzzy, green, good news.  I love it.  Eat the View had a been working on a petition to get this done. It’s a awesome idea, and I hope it gets a large write up and following.  Maybe some updates from the staff that [...]

Weekly weight summary - 3/7/09

Pushing 218.0 this weekend, and I’ve reached a milestone.  I’ve lost more than half of my goal weight, 44lbs down with 43lbs to go.  Feeling good, pants are getting loose, and my shirts are fitting much better.   Folks at work have noticed the smaller me, and that’s more motivation.  Only bad thing right now is [...]

agfox, the Sister Site….

We’ve made a hosting change at both sites.  Consolidating blogs and moving the wife  from blogspot over to her own on agfox. I’ve copied all posts to the main site, but I’ll be blogging here about green and bacon (duh?!).   We are still going to have much bacon fun here, so you’ll be seeing me. 
Main family site [...]

Solar news

So it appears research is looking at storing solar energy much like a plant.  Chemically.  Interesting concept.  Solar is definately the wave of the very near future.  I’m hope I’m still alive to see it.
Also if you want to go green with a new cell phone, here’s some options.

Green money in the stimulus.

The stimulus package seems to have made it out of congress and it’s in the president’s hands.  Included is 100 million for green projects.  This could be huge for the industry, and could help homeowners get “green”.   I hope it helps.

ZOMG, Bacon! Again…

The second major holiday of 2009, Valentine’s Day.  It hits hard and fast, and sometimes it’s got a little lovin’ in it.  This year I wanted the wife to share my love of bacon.  So here it is, the Bacon Cheesecake, with Maple Syrup!  It’s all about the love baby.  Some towards the wife, most [...]

Willpowers, I gots it…

I’m happy to report the road trip was a success, at least as far as the diet was concerned.  Ithink the 3.5 hours of good exercise saved my butt while I was there.  I got home Friday and ripped off the clothes to step on the scale.  I was rewarded with a 2.5 lb loss [...]
