What Kinds of Solar Power Incentives are Available in the U.S.?

Posted on February 1, 2010 by max

*Note – This is a guest blog post from Shannon Bell from ResidentialSolarPanels.org.  Thanks Shannon!  I’ve always wondered how government credits work with residential solar panels, now I know.

Over the years, you have seen your power bills increase for a variety of reasons. Sources are inconsistent, and methods to generate power are becoming more expensive. Ultimately, many of the resources we use are non-renewable.

Coal, gas and oil are finite commodities. To encourage people to reduce their dependency upon

Posted on January 12, 2010 by max

Well, it’s been a great day since I just received my new Google Nexus One phone, the first “official” phone that Google has started selling as of last week. Btw, this phone is freakin’ JESUS-AWESOME, I will have a bunch of videos on that soon.

The point of this blog post is the Google’s latest move on Chinese government’s censorship. Instead of obliging to Chinese government to keep Google going in China, Google has determined that they will no longer cooperate to

Anyways, it’s an interesting Wiki site and you should check it out.

The site resumed U.S. operations shortly after 5 p.m. Pacific Coast time. Its overseas servers were not affected by the litigat

Gamer Tries to Build Nuclear Reactor at Home, FBI Came Around to Play

Posted on January 18, 2008 by max

Cool, this guy’s on TV for tryin’ to build a nuclear reactor. Too bad he didn’t have a SiteHoppin.com shirt on… :p

Apparently bored of his amateur game-building hobby, he decided to try to make a small-scale nuclear reaction in his room, blogging his antics on the web.

Someone blew the whistle on him when he made claims about uranium and doubling the normal background radiation count in his room, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission raided his home. He won’t be getting his Da

Check out this cool biological containment art from Philip Ross. It’s a hydroponic garden which allow just enough light using LEDs for the plants to survive but do not grow bigger. Very interesting. This might be good for saving our planet by controlling light plants receive and thus use less energy if we are ever in a closed environment due to wars and what not. (not that i’d

Wind Power from Highways

Posted on May 2, 2007 by max

Here’s a great concept for re-using the wind generated from cars racing on the highways. Great idea! Save earth and peace!

Average vehicle speeds on the valley highways are approximately 70 mph. Using average annual wind speeds of 10 mph as a baseline, each single wind turbine will produce 9,600KwH of energy, annually (enough to fully power my 700 s.f. apartment). This power production estimate will increase exponentially with a

Yay, let’s get on the band wagon for free HD-DVDs. Will we get some notices soon?

Did you know that you could get into really big trouble if you post the code 09 F9 11 02 on your website ? It is very likely that a takedown notice will be send to the owner of the website as soon as the RIAA, the AACS or some of their lawyers find your website. You might be wondering why they are making such a big deal about this code 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 which only some users might identify as the code to rule them all.. aka the processing key that unlocks

Google bought the WHOLE country!

Posted on April 9, 2007 by max

Google buys a European country Luxemburg for 37 billion dollars! Wow, I wonder what country they will be buying next. Well, eventually a lot of small countries will have to be renamed to Googleburg, Googlece, Googland, Googrea, Googpan, Googmerica…  This is much greater than Google buying a search algorithm from an Israeli student.

This is what Larry Page told us about it: “We were looking for a new place for our Europe Headquarter
