Far Niente, a Napa Valley winery, paid quite a bit of money for the first floating solar farm. The 1000 (plus another 1300 panels next to the pond) panels are floating on pontoons and provide about 4000 kilowatts of energy at peak. Seems wineries are very eco-conscious, or have tons…

Convert Your Saturn Sky To An Electric Car – The Amp
We love the Tesla all electric car, but the price and deliverable times make them unpractical… so, when we saw “The Amp” we got excited. Say you have a Saturn Sky (similar to the Pontiac Solstice) laying around and just found $25,000 in the couch cushions… you can convert the…

Suissa Enlighten – Wood and Glass Computer
Suissa is known for making artistic computers (they don’t discriminate on processors either – AMD or Intel) out of wood, metal, and glass. Their latest model, the “Enlighten” is, in my opinion, the best looking yet. Their site has a “commission” button instead of a “buy” button… not a good…
