More About Me

I'm passionate about

Helping others see the value of change.

An idea worth spreading

Time to remove all the CFL's from your homes, and places of play and work. LED lighting is the last light you will buy, and the best light for the environment, your health, and the health of the planet.

Talk to me about

Making a difference!

People don't know that I'm good at

  A comment on Conversation: Has science made us gods even before we've become worthy of being men?

  Jun 17 2011: I remember my Dad saying the same thing decades ago… and all he would say when I asked he same question was.. “you will see son….”
  
  He was right about a lot of things.. more than I thought at the time… getting older makes you more able to see change… really you have a broader point of reference to base your thoughts / ideas / reality on…
  
  Take for instance the idea that we could throw our garbage out the window of our cars and expect it to somehow not matter… or pollute the water by continuing to disregard what we flush down the toilet or release from our factories… or how we allow large overflows of sewage… and somehow that wouldn’t matter either… well that was the view back then… wasn’t ok back then… and even more true today…
  
  Just stop look and listen… the world is groaning under the weight of our consistent disregard … Think I am being a little harsh here… check out any water related website..
  Or grab your camera and go down to the waterway where you live, take some photos and ask yourself would I drink that water… Check out the reports of how your water supply measures up.. find out all the chemicals that are in it.. I could go on and on but as this Sunday is Fathers Day, I’ll raise a glass to my Dad and say.. “you were right dad…” and even more true today!

  A comment on Conversation: The potential for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels through solar-desalinated irrigated vegetation of the Sahara and Arabian deserts.

  Mar 7 2011: Well Done!
  It is ideas like this which can assist in the betterment of our World. I am sure there are those who say you are a dreamer.. but I believe in the concept.. One of the problems is that Desalination is a constly venture.. If you ever get to the point that you have interest in your idea... let me know, as I can assist with a low energy, high output, scalable, and best of all chemical free desal process. A technology we have in addition to our H20-00 technology, which you can view at chaoticwatersinc.com... yes they call me a dreamer as well... :)

  A comment on Conversation: What is wrong with the scientific method.

  Mar 4 2011: Agree!
  
  It seems like we have fallen into a set way of looking at things.. and if it doesn't fit into that way... well then it just can't be possible... At the end of the day, all great discoveries come from the same place... and go down a similar path... starting as a dream.. thought, a hunch, but always as a belief that the something incredible is possible.
  
  I think we need to get back to the state of mind that all things are possible.... see chaoticwatersinc.com where all things are possible... :)
