I read an interesting article in Innovation Daily News. Future Solar Windows Will Provide Power With a View. Researchers at MIT have developed a photovoltaic technology that turns window glass into an energy collector. This is a transparent solar cell technology coated on the window glass that is then wired to a voltage controller. Best applied to the inside of double-paned windows.

Here's the link if you'd like to know more. http://innovationnewsdaily.com/mit-solar-windows-1911/

That's a nice innovation. It appears to be potentially inexpensive to make and deploy. And it serves the purpose of coatings people already deploy on glass. Very cool.

username changed to crittergarden
All I need to know is when and where can I get it!
Decisions, decisions.
I tried a couple of usernames and have finally settled on:

crittergarden.

That's it, no more changes. I'm done. I will be crittergarden here, on Cubits, and when I renew my Dave's Garden subscription on Noveber 4, I'll be crittergarden over there, too. DONE!
