TED- “ideas worth spreading”

Lately, I’ve been completely hooked on watching TED videos.  A good TED clip can give me everything I’m looking for when I have a few moments of free time… information, happiness, tears, confusion, awe, amazement, empathy, and more than anything, inspiration. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, the three elements which were the founding premise [...]

The Air Car

We’ve covered the new Prius hybrid and the Chevy Volt, electric bicycles, and C,mm,n, (a new kind of vehicle that could run on an electric grid system)… what’s next?  The car that runs on AIR.
