Wind Power explained

I found in National Geographic's web site a very interesting animation explaining about how the wind turbines work.
Did you know that is better to have the wind turbines in zero altitude to produce more electricity? Even in the high mountains there is a lot of wind, the air is lighter.

Going green

"Going green" is the title of a post made by Silke Fleischer about an initiative for using bikes to go to work and the importance of companies to include more environment friendly policies.
It is interesting specially because includes many useful links and because I see she also works on other projects, apart of her product management for Adobe Captivate, and I think that shows and proves that leaders always find time for all what they think is important.
I conclude then that helping the protection of our environment is a good opportunity to make good use of our time, apart of the daily work and responsibilities at home, showing interest on improving our quality of life is definitively a way of becoming community leaders.

Good news from the music industry... well from EMI and Apple

I've heard the news yesterday but I didn't got the right meaning... after reading Pogue's post about it I got it crystal clear:
"...OK, my jaw just hit the floor. This just in: Apple has persuaded EMI, one of the Big Four record companies, to offer its digital catalog of music without copy protection, starting in May."
