Posted on August 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image Source: TottoBG Dear Pablo: I am thinking about replacing my windows to cut back on my home’s energy usage. Will this yield a good return on my investment or is my money better spent elsewhere?

Posted on June 22, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The latest image of the oil spill from NASA I have to admit that I’ve been trying to think beyond the ongoing environmental horror-show of the BP oil spill and get past blame and anger with it all.
