Google Lively: A 3D Virtual World like Second-Life

greengrapes — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:00:08 +0000

At the beginning of Spring ’08 I was invited to join a top secret program that Google was doing. It was pretty much a 3D virtual world where you can chat with friends and create rooms with furnishings and everything. Now they have released it to the public under the name Google Lively.

It sounds like a good idea and I hope it lasts – I gave them a few ideas myself a while back, such as youtube accessibility from within the world, so you can watch movies “with your friends” in the virtual world.

Good luck, Google Lively.

First Solar Energy Post!

greengrapes — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:22:14 +0000

Hey Everyone,

I just got an email from Amazon about these Solar items which are on sale – each has an Amazon customer rating of at least 4 stars and looking at the comments they seem to be happy with it. If you are good with electrical work, you can mess around with these to get even more use out of them. A great way to stay green and get free energy from that big yellow ball in the sky (yeah, I mean the Sun).

Check it out:

Sunforce 50032 15 Watt Solar Battery Charger – $99.99

Sunforce 50044 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit – $319.99

Sunforce 50022 5 Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger – $50.04

Peace out -

Welcome to Thou Shall Be Green

Welcome and hello!

Great things are planned for our planet, and among those things is Thou Shall Be Green.

I would like to share things with you that I find interesting, whether relating to green or not.

I do not know the direction Thou Shall Be Green will go yet, but I can only hope that you, my future loyal readers, will help guide it in the “right” direction.

Keep it Green,

Dr. G
