Nice restaurants taste better in a recession…
What a wonderful time we had last night at the new Zydeco’s location in Downtown Bend. It’s also a great story of opportunity in the recent economy. The building was built in the boom-time here in Bend and the first tenant was a high-end restuarant, Volo. They went out of business and Zydeco snatched the [...]

DESERTEC Foundation
The plan to put a giant array of solar collectors out in the desert doesn’t really sound new anymore. But what I do find fascinating is their plan costs $568,000,000,000. I just like typing that number out. And the killer part? They accept donations on their website through PayPal!
