Where to begin

I woke up Tuesday Morning after making my first blog post (Why I created this Blog), and couldn't figure out where to go. What should I post? What do I need to post about? What do I need to learn about? What do you guys want to know? My laundry list of questions was pretty big. I have begun to write a list of what topics I want to cover and in what order. 

First up is an introduction to Green Technology. We all know that Green Technology is the current fad (and hopefully it turns from fad into standards), but what is Green Technology REALLY about? There has to be more to it then saving the environment and saving money out of my pocket. My next (at least planned...) blog post will be on what Green Technology is and What it REALLY is :)

Following that I plan to write a few blog posts on organization/company/individuals leaders in the industry, and present some information on what those companies, organizations, and individuals are doing/plan to do.

I also just picked up the February Edition of WIRED, so we'll see if they have any topics on Green Technology. 

Feel free to comment on EVERYTHING that you want to see, read, and hear about Green Technology and the Business of Green. Doing so will only help expand my knowledge, you knowledge, and the communities knowledge on Green Tech.

Creation of a Blog

At the age of 15 I "dropped out" of High School; it was dull, unimaginative, and the teachers often didn't know much more then what was in the text book. While I myself didn't know much more then they did, I was able to challenge their knowledge with common sense, and ask the questions that they didn't know the answer to. Their lack of knowledge, and my desire for knowledge, encouraged me to "drop out" and enroll in a local community college with a promising Engineering Program with a Direct Connect option to the University of Central Florida.

In 2008 I was approached by an old friend, Brandon, with an idea about a new type of green energy. Being an Aerospace and Mechanical Engineer major, I seemed like a helpful mind to enlist. Brandon was attending Lyman HS, an engineering focused HS; his focus being on Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. Being in college, I was restricted to taking the mathematical foundation courses that built up to the true engineering courses. Brandon being in HS, was not offered the mathematical foundation class, but offered the true engineering courses. 

*(Foundation courses being Calc, Physics, Physics+Calc, etc etc etc; True Engineering courses being Engineering Concepts, building, designing, and using imagination to develop great things).

We combined my mathematical knowledge with his engineering knowledge to do great things and create great ideas. Ideas that we are still moving forward in today, hence the creation of this blog. 

We are convinced our product will work; but we don't know a whole lot about the Green Technology World or the Business of Green Technology. After a little research I became aware that the task of educating myself on the topic was going to be a difficult and long standing task. To help motivate my way through the task I have decided to write this blog and fill it with information that I learn through my research. I will use the blog to document my findings and to bounce thoughts off of readers. Please challenge my thoughts and knowledge at all blogs, it will only help me evolve my knowledge of Green Technology, and technology in general.


**(I am also going to try and use this blog as a selling point with future and potential investors) ;)
