This morning, like many, I was glued to my laptop watching President Obama's inauguration. I suffered through the many blips and hiccups of streaming Internet video that was clearly overwhelmed by the volume of people all trying to watch at the same time.
I've been following Obama's energy policies for the last few months. In this morning's address, Obama said "the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet." Certainly a strong statement. Following the inauguration, the White House released their agenda for energy and the environment. The White House's primary goal is to become energy independent, focusing on three main points:
by Anonymous|May 4 2009Hello, I'm Spence Murray, a member of the Sentilla Server Engineering team. My responsibilities include design and development of core networking and data management technologies for Sentilla Energy Manager. Having been involved in the project since its inception, I've had the pleasure of seeing it evolve into a very useful tool for both energy and network management.
First off, I'd like to congratulate our CTO, Joe Polastre, on his recent selection as a one of BusinessWeek's Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs of 2009. This award is indicative of the growing buzz Sentilla Energy Manager is generating.

The act of reading a book generally involves long views of static images. As a result, the Kindle can achieve very long battery life when used for normal reading.
In a continuing trend to examine everything possible with a green magnifying glass, the Cleantech Group has recently released a report about the effective carbon footprint of Amazon's Kindle eReader. In particular, they compare the carbon footprint of the Kindle to the carbon footprint generated by reading the same amount of books on paper. Since the release of the Kindle, this question has been posed a number of times, but this is the first comprehensive report to take an at least somewhat rigorous approach to the problem.
