Last week I took my teenagers to an amazing talk by Neil deGrasse Tyson, famed astrophysicist and climate science (and all science) proponent. We didn’t actually know the topic for the talk, but when someone like him comes to your home town theater and you can get tickets, you just go. He was engaging from […]
Neil deGrasse Tyson came to Medford and it was Awesome!

Wait And See – President Trump and the Planet
Posted on January 24, 2017 Written by 2 Comments
A number of my conservative and libertarian friends have been saying we should “wait and see” what President Trump does. Well it didn’t take long for Trump to try and fuck the planet. Here’s what I see and we’re only on day four: Trump has nominated the biggest fossil fuel CEO to be Secretary of […]
Surviving the 2016 Election Outcome
Posted on November 12, 2016 Written by Leave a Comment
It’s hard for an environmentalist to not feel despair right now. I’ve been counseling people to wait and watch. When someone has been as much as a liar and changed what he says as often as Trump does, it’s easy to believe that he won’t move forward with some of the things he has promised […]
Open Space, Climate Vulnerabilities and Making
Posted on March 9, 2016 Written by Leave a Comment
We haven’t been blogging much over the past year and I suspect some people wonder why – other than we both work full time and have three kids! There’s always a lot going on in our lives, but this year I think these three phrases encapsulate the big reasons we haven’t been blogging much: open space, […]
Best Climate Change Speech Ever
Posted on November 6, 2015 Written by Leave a Comment
Today President Barack Obama gave what I consider the best climate change speech ever when he announced the rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline. However, when I first tried to watch the speech, by going to well known news sites, like USA Today, NBC News and CNN, I found that they only played edited versions of […]
Love Song to the Earth

Natasha Bedingfield and Sean Paul teamed up with an awesome group of artists including Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow and many more to create “Love Song to the Earth.” They released it to coincide with Pope Francis’s visit to Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York. I found the song a uplifting and a beautiful way to […]

The two day course, titled Scrum Product Owner training, was taught by Jeff Sutherland, the inventor and co-creator of Scrum and author of Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time.

How much did the US spend on Imported Oil in 2014?
Posted on September 10, 2015 Written by 3 Comments
My previous blog posts about the US spending on imported oil are finally making a difference. At least a lot of people seem to be asking how much the US spends on importing oil. Earlier this year, one of the leading United States Presidential Candidates stated that the US spent about $300 billion on importing […]
Movie Review of Rob Stewart’s Revolution

I was asked to review the feature length documentary Revolution by Rob Stewart. The movie takes you on a journey under the water and around the world to see the impacts of climate change and the damage that we are doing to our planet. The videography and imagery underwater is breath taking. The movie gets […]
Adapting To Climate Change

I spent two days in December meeting with Sustainability Directors from around New England. While we met, pounding rain drenched late arrivals, and rain and snow storms to our north waylaid some of our colleagues. Three to four inches of rain was threatening many of our cities and towns in the North East. This group meets, with […]
