New Computer? Check this Out

December 22, 2018 Comments Off on New Computer? Check this Out

Doing some last-minute shopping for a computer for your college student?  Look for an eco-friendly one that saves money.  Buy one of the new energy-efficient models with a fan that doesn’t run constantly.  If just a moderate number of us did this we’d cut computer energy use in half and save $5.5 billion.

Shame: San Francisco and the Super Bowl

February 3, 2016 Comments Off on Shame: San Francisco and the Super Bowl

The good news:  San Francisco is spending $5 million on the homeless.  The bad news: they’re spending the money not on services or housing to help the homeless make better lives for themselves and their families but to move them out of sight in time for the Super Bowl.  S.F. has the 8th largest homeless  population in the U.S., yet the city is moving them to a small spot under a highway overpass–far away from Super Bowl Fan City.

My question is, Will the city and businesses then take a good chunk of the tourist money the Super Bowl will bring in and apply it in ways to get the homeless out of the ghetto the city has created and into needed healthcare (physical and mental), jobs, and housing so that these people never need to be hidden away again?

I doubt it.  And there’s the shame.
