In case anyone was wondering how to feed people over at Google, here’s what it takes. Seesh. Anyone want to feed an army?

In the continuing saga of the adaptation of alternate energy technologies, another page has turned. I’ve written before about hybrid cars, but I’ve never mentioned biodiesel, a substance usually made out of cooking oil. Wired reports that the number of biodiesel stations nationwide has grown. This is great, since it continues to increase the amount of options drivers have over petroleum. A number of bus companies — the one I know of being Intercity Transit here in Olympia — have adopted biodiesel fuel for a cleaner fleet.

In other news, Linux is having a tough time in Iraq, which some contend is a bad thing, since it means that Iraq may spend millions of dollars to maintain its information technology resources that it could commit elsewhere. I find this an interesting argument, considering that Iraq is just now forming a new interim government who will likely look to keep costs low while the country stabilizes.
