I traipsed all over Moscone Center today to look for companies that are looking to grow their business internationally, and even within North America.  I found some good companies that look like they could use help in doing so.  I also found a couple of interesting technologies, too.  One was a vegetable based gel that can perform 50 times better than water can in holding heat!  Now if we could use that inside the walls of a home, cost-effectively, THAT would be a find!
It sounded like that was not the case, but we'll see.  Another was a roof solution that the Solar PV array IS the roof!  This might actually have a shot at being useful and not an added expense, since a it eliminates the roofing needed for a structure!  How much it costs on a square foot basis compared to a conventional set up, is yet to be determined.  (I'll let you know!!!)

My feet are tired, and so am I from ALL the hop-along motions today, so time for bed.
