Green Technology and Business Law
Today I attended a class from the Practicing Law Institute on Green Technology and Business Law. This course was offered at PLI’s headquarters on 7th Avenue in NYC. Topics ranged from venture capitalization of emerging technologies to intellectual property of recycling/reusing to cap and trade… Read more
Whole House Power Consumption Monitor
It's here, and I've been waiting some time for this. Smarthome just picked up an inexpensive whole house power consumption meter. The device consists of a strap-on sensor/transmitter for your outdoor meter and a wireless receiver. After a short calibration, the display unit will tell you the current… Read more
Nissan's iPhone App
With Nissan unveiling an electric car iPhone app before the actual electric car, I thought I would add a link to all the latest electric car happenings as seen on Engadget. Of particular interest is MIT’s rapid charge program that aims to strap almost 8000 lithium iron-phosphate batteries to an AC induction… Read more
The passing of the great and powerful Laszlo
Not that I’m ready to pen a eulogy, but our fourth roommate, the wise and all knowing Laszlo of the closet passed away last week. For almost five years, he had been diligent and constant, a rock that rarely let us down. Unfortunately, school has meant neglect for poor Laszlo. He suffered his first… Read more
That Special Visitor (or how to securely let someone into your…
Because I keyed every lock in my house off a master, I don’t like letting anyone borrow a key. If I were to lose a key, it would require changing 11 locks. It takes me on average of 20 minutes to rekey a lock (yes, I’m very slow) so I came up with a way to let people into my house without giving them… Read more
Laszlo Online
I'll try to slowly migrate all of the tip and tricks from my last site. I don't think I'll have enough time to moderate a forum so I apologize in advance. Laszlo, the super smart guy who lives in the closet, was named after Lazlo Hollyfeld from the movie Real Genius. I named him as such because he… Read more
HIPLA Annual Conference
I attended this year's HIPLA conference over the weekend. Anthony Matheny did an excellent job of rescheduling as a result of Hurricane Ike. The event was held at the Omni in Houston. The majority of the speakers were excellent. Some of the speakers of note to me were Joe Beauchamp of Jones Day who… Read more
Green Technology Law and Business 2009
I have to hand it to PLI. They run a solid shop for passing the Patent Bar. And little did I know they offer scholarships. When I saw a Green Technology class posting, I inquired about a student discount. They said they offer full scholarships and invited me to apply. I did, and low and behold I won… Read more
Taping for the Blind
Wouldn't you know it, they have a Taping for the Blind center here. I worked at Recording for the Blind in Austin while I was at school. I remember wanting to continue it when I moved to Houston 12 years ago but I couldn't find it. I suppose Internet search engines weren't mature enough back then. Plus… Read more

Laszlo Lives Again
I’m happy to report that Laszlo, the home automation computer, is back with us. The 2.0 version sports a dual core processor, more onboard cache, and significantly faster memory. Of course, home automation mostly just telemeters bit commands and so the computer doesn’t really require much speed. It… Read more
AIPLA Student Representative
I’ve been selected as the AIPLA student representative for the University of Houston Law Center. It turns out that the AIPLA co-chairs, Christopher McKeon and Jesse Ormsby, both attend UH so my role would be to support their initiatives as well as facilitate some speaking engagements of my own… Read more

On Saturday, January 24th the Workshop Houston (formally Third Ward Bikeshop) will be dedicating their new solar array. The festivities kick off with a morning bikeride and then culminate with the throwing of the switch at around 11:30. I invite you to attend and meet the Oberlin crowd and see what… Read more
