Vienna is a sausage.

Or so I hear. Apparently, Microsoft is coming out with codename: 'Vienna' sometime in 2009. Good riddance to Vista, I say. It keeps crashing the poor Dell. Anyways, it brings us comfort to know that a multi-million dollar company has resorted to naming their operating systems after food. Whats next? The Turky? Also, Mircrosoft names their prototypes after mountain ski resorts. Maybe this is a cry for help from the poor programmers chained to their desks? XP was Whistler, after the mpuntain in Canada, and Vienna was Blackcomb. So, I guess a sausage is better then a hair product. Though... I do hesitate to buy anything named after a food. Mac can take advantage of this, however. Before we can get to that, however, I'd like to point out Mac is also a hamburger that could potentially kill you. Also, they use Apples. Thus, Mac is enforcing the american obesity crisis! Thay are at fault! Shun! Shun the beautiful operating system! Now for a commercial break:

Mac: My operating sytem is fierce like a leopard! Rawr! Purty leopard that does not get thrown against the wall in anguish! Go leopards!

PC: My oerating system just makes me hungry... and want to ski.

Mac: Hey. You've got some programmers escaping.

PC: I can't give chase. My cholesterol is too high from looking at you, you fat burger.

Mac: ... I'm still better then you.

PC: ... Sob... I know.

On another notes, the Nerdlets are getting their own web pages tomarrow. There is much rejoicing.

Possible Costs

S:\solar_panel.htm hopefully this link will take you to an excel worksheet showing a graph of some possible costs for solar panels. Please tell me if it works.

Chapter 4: Mr. Fusspot, He Wrote

Mr. Fusspot is totally ready to do this! First, he knows that Houses are Money, and Money is Time, and Time is relative, thus Houses are relative! If so, hypothetically, Mr. Fusspot could just sit and watch the House grow with no work or cost. What a nice dream that was...

Forney Part Deux

Students,
You are doing an excellent job on your projects. . . for the most part. If you are reading this, you are one of the extra hard workers and must be thinking about your project at least. I wanted to share something that Winston Churchill said, "You can't go back and change history, but you can change the future." That's what you're doing through these projects. GOOD WORK>

Mrs. Forney, your teacher

PS- We missed you today Lexie!

More Info

I forgot to say some things with my last post, and I found some new information. Sunnergy Systems seems like a good place to try to contact. They provide services for commercial businesses looking for solar panel. They would help design and install the solar panels. Also, we might be able to get up to $35,000 dollars from PGE for switching to solar power. They would give us $1.25 dollars for per watt. Thats all for now.

Finding solar panel costs

Right now I want to find a way to get solar panels for our green schoolhouse. I guess the first step is to find a contractor who can help us with all the paperwork involved in installing a solar powered system. Before that, I want to find out what cost range we're looking at, and before that we have to figure out our energy usage at Howard Street. Of course to do that, we have to get "Watts" up things to measure the our usage. I guess we're doing it one step at a time.

Question: How much dose the endangered species act help the world.

Background knowledge: some people think the endangered species act is a bad idea because if an animal on the endangered species act live on your property you cant build anything.a women in Florida bot some land to build a house she can use while in her wheal chair and she stays in a House where she has to shower with a hose because the bathroom is upstairs all because Florida scrub jays live on her property.

Hypothesis: the endangered species act doesn't help as much as you think.

Research: there are 4000 scrub jays in Florida and 12500 in the north west.
