GasHole
This documentary is about the technologies of gas engines and how we should have better technology now and why we do not. Very interesting film. The beginning is a bit conspiracy driven but the later film is very well done about American's energy policy.
P.S. Standard oil is back it's called Exxon/mobile.

Cap and Trade is STUPID
Cap and Trade is a scheme that politicians want because it allows them to appear as if they are doing something when in reality nothing has been done.
In the idea of Cap and Trade, corporations say to the government you MUST pay us to not pollute the earth. Also the corporations say we should make money for the pollution we are not creating.
Also the corporations are able to trade on the idea that if they are making pollution they can trade carbon credits with those that do not pollute allowing them to pollute at standard or more. Or Those that don't pollute can buy credits so they can pollute at standard or more. AMAZING In the words of Penn and Teller this is BUllSHIT!
Instead of doing the brave thing as politicians and taxing those that pollute. Or regulating pollution. They instead are either in the pocket of these corporation or like the comforts that this society is built on. You see the corporations don't want to be forced to put their money to work on better was of making products. If the government was to force and or tax them that would be BIG GOVERNMENT and that is wrong. Let the free market handle it. The free market is not about protecting the public. The free market is about selling comforts to the public. Government is suppose to protect the public.
Rome fell because it's politician cared more about their own interest than that of the people of the empire. There are many reasons for Rome's collapse but this is the main reason.
Cap and Trade is another policies based on emotion, allowing people to feel better. It is not based on logic or science but it allows people to "feel" like they are helping the environment.

Eythor Bender Demos Human Exoskeltons
I find the human exoskelton to be very cool. Most people think this is the beginning to Iron Man type suits. Making people walk again after being paralyzed for years is pretty damn bad ass on it's own.
The military will have the HULC that will allow soldiers to carry hundreds of lbs of more weight.
While eLEGS will help those that were once wheelchair bound walk again.

Eric Whitacre Virtual Choir
I was on the TED website and looked at this and had no real idea what it was about. I'm glad I actually watched this. This Virtual or Viral Choir sounds amazing. The first Choir by Eric Whitacre on YouTube has about 200 people soon the second one will come out with over 2,000.
Watch this learn how it came about and see (hear)for yourself. I think projects of this caliber this show what true global internet artist collaboration should be.
After you watch the TEDtalk with Eric Whitacre you can listen to the first Virtual Choir, LUX AURUMQUE.
When they place the next one up I'll add that video as well.
