Well I’m off to my first “green” industry conference, this one in particular focuses on the carbon trading (carbon offset) markets and the industry that is building around. As CEO of www.4Offsets.com I’ll be attending sessions focusing on the offset industry. The “Carbon Forum America” will take place in San Francisco Feb. 26 and 27th, we are proud to be a sponsor.

A friend turned me on to the most unique feature on the web: 1000’s of recordings of Grateful Dead shows. These are not off a music download service or some sort of internet radio station, they’re right at www.archive.org. So i’ve been listening to concerts for the last week or so.

Recently I was looking around for some music from Blanche, a band featuring my cousin and her husband Dan Miller. Take a listen, they have a pretty unique sound. They have a few videos on the web, this one is pretty interesting.

I just returned from my annual trip to London and boy are my arms tired. Not because i’ve just flown in, but rather from reaching for my wallet and pulling out what seemed to be pound of Dollars, to pay for everything from a $9.50 subway ride (1 ride any of 3 zones) and a $23 personal pizza and a good price at that, vs what might have cost $12-15 in most US restaruants. It is horribly expensive to live in the center of English history and culture.

Why do i keep going back? Friends, business and for all it’s cost, rude people and silly prices, London is a fun place to visit. The English capital is the place for first time English speaking travellers to stop in Europe, a home away from home, the safe “relatives” on a long journey.

If you’re going for the first time, i’d suggest you put the time in to learn how to use the tube and the trains, it’s both faster and cheaper than any cab.
