Algal-diesel

Of all the alternative fuels being touted out there this is one that I heard about a year ago on NPR and is the most promising. I really want to know more about it – like what the downsides are, e.g. wastewater discharge – but it has to be better than corn ethanol.

San Diego

April 14th, 2008 Greg Corwin

I recently went to San Diego to meet with some of my clients – mainly to make sure they remember me, but more importantly to talk with some of them about current projects. I had a really good time, played a little golf, went sailing, took some of my clients on a coastal cruise from Mission Beach to Del Mar and back. I’ll post some photos when I get a chance, but just wanted to say that I was shocked at all the development there. It really is growing at a remarkable rate and I was most surprised with how much downtown has developed. The skyline was dramatically different and the number of condo’s has exploded. It’s still nothing like Chicago, but it’s a lot nicer than in the days boefore Horton Plaza was built.

Anyway the food was tremendous as always, as were the prices of everything, except one thing – wine. It was so nice to be able to buy a bottle of good wine for under $8. I do miss it, but it’s not the place that I grew up with anymore.

Here is a linky to the full-screen version
