As you head off into your holiday weekend, at least in the USA ... take a look at the products you use. Are they efficient? Could changes be made where the cost trade offs would benefit not just you, but your community. Oh well ... kind of heavy thoughts, but it does lead me to recommend a new blog that I've added to my Engineering Blog Quest ... Design Impact. The blog's owner, James Allision, is a techie who like me works for a large company, but also extends his technical knowledge beyond the workplace. Here is a brief quote from his blog overview page:
- Advanced design techniques, such as design optimization, facilitate significant energy efficiency gains, and can accelerate creation of improved clean energy systems. Adoption of these techniques has been sluggish, yet design practice affects us all. Talking about better design is not just for engineers; we need everyone engaged in this dialogue.
