Emett's Comments

I am not much of a writer, or a biker. As you know, I take the bus and MAX to and from work five days a week, 12 miles one way. What kinds of pictures and videos are needed?

Oji is the "walking farang." If he can't walk to it, he doesn't go to it. . . much to the amusement of the natives. Not that he can't afford 10 baht for a cab ride. But that's another story. . .

"Walk Score: 82 out of 100 — Very Walkable" . . . and that's a reason we like living here! - Oji -

Not a bad little website at all. Great job.

The USA's ongoing fiscal wreck might be an "UnPolluter" factor in the short term.

hey emett yeah....so far i do like it...

Been trying to contact you, you don't make it all that easy. What do you think about everything around us going on. Bird Flu, mad cow deseise, virus and bacteria in our food, bee's dieing and etc. Do you think it is related to the pollution? I did a little bit of studying and they think that the bees are disapearing do to the RF signals throughout the air. If this is true how could we look into fixing this? It is almost impossible with more and more wireless devices these days. Anyhow just thought I would pick your brain a little bit and see if you have any opionions on some of these issues.

Check out the quick little presentation I put together at work. I have placed it as an attachment under "Discussion" topic "Getting Started".

Did you get my new pesentation with the pictures making the file smaller? Made it were the Res was the same but the file would shrink.

Good job on this site. It's looking great!

Yes, I have been very, very busy these past two months. Just getting ready to move into another place out here, house is in progress now of being sold in Oregon (should know in about 5 business days of so). Also, I have been working 70-80 hours a week. Bekka is starting to do modeling again and is currently trying to get into the next Twillight movie coming out soon. Also, we have been looking at an Ireland trip maybe even to move if I get this job out there. Other than that just looking on here every once in a while haven't had much time to do anything, sorry. :{ I tried calling you today a couple times, I heard Oregon economy is having a ruff time, Microchip on the verge of closing and On Semi letting Peter Rucker go and inforcing required time off without pay for two qtrs. OUCH! Not to meantion the 6'+ of snow you guys got out there. First in in over 100 years. Sounds like fun for you and the kiddies though. I still want to get this going, what do you have put together so far? What is still needing to be done? DK

It is easy to navigate, nice work. I am feeling inspired to dust off my bike when the weather gets better. For now, I'll be a fair-weather rider. :-)

thanks much, emett! i appreciated the opportunity to share my experiences and hopefully it helped someone. we'll be presenting a slightly modified version of that presentation at the portland farmer's market on may 16, so we'll get to put utility cycling in front of an even larger group of people. :) i really appreciate your comments and thanks much for coming out to suck-up some liquid sunshine!

Emett,
Thanks so much for your welcoming note. This is an excellent site.

I hope you will all sign my petition on Change.org to 'Restore Solar Panels to the White House'. This one action could light a spark under the solar industry everywhere in the world. I have a couple hundred signatures. I need a lot more.

I live in Maine. We have an agency called Efficiency Maine that has a web site with an online tester for your home's carbon footprint and suggestions for ways you can improve it. I think the federal government should be promoting something like this, don't you?

I noticed that my links didn't appear.

Emett,
Can you give me a way to post these Links?
Thanks!

Hi Emett ~ thanks for your comment. I've joined a few Ning communities and you are the first to offer such a lengthy and friendly "welcome". I like that.

I like your idea about the Facebook communities. I know on Ning sites like iheartsingleparents they offer the ability to create focused groups. I haven't had a chance to fully explore Unpollute to see what's offered. I'm guessing that's what you're asking me to try. ???

Joining the site was not at all an issue. Everything went smoothly and only took a few minutes to get going. I came to the site because I did multiple Google searches and didn't find what I was looking for. I've belonged to several Ning sites off and on for a year or so. There are a few bicycle sites, but I like the content you offer.

Runner's World offers a great free community for its members. Of course they have a fat bank account and can afford all the bells and whistles. But it's more than what they offer. I mean, really, what it comes down to is a vision or a concept and understanding not only the needs but the desires of your audience.

Running is a social activity and the running community is hugely social in nature. Runner's World taps into that spirit. Honestly, I'm new to biking and maybe my expectations for a similar sense of community will go unrealized. Or maybe it's a very social community waiting for the right person or web community to bring them together. Another possibility is that it's already out there and I just haven't found it.

Anyway, that's my 10-cent analysis.

I'm looking forward to exploring your site and seeing what everyone has to say.

Have a great day!

Bill

Hi Emett,
Thank you for your warm welcome. For a long time I was not here on this forum. I was very occupied with the Jane Burgermeister/Swine Flu activities. It turned out in something very dramatic.
Alex Struber thought, that he had finally discovered the picture of Jane Burgermeister. And he showed then my picture.
I discovered it yesterday. My son was so furious, that he demanded that it had to be taken of his website within 48 hours. But now I have to take action. It is bad weather, the Police Station is not nearby, and in the same time I can set things straight in the same viral way, as I have done with the message of Jane Burgermeister. The rest of this all you will read on my blogs, next days.

Peace, Love and Justice ,
Farida

Will do. Look for the challenge tomorrow. :) Jeff

I tried to challenge you. I'm not sure if it worked. Feel free to challenge me too. :) Jeff
