  • Plug In Movement Establishes Memorial Fund for Doug Korthof "Doug Korthof was a passionate advocate for plug-in vehicles, who worked tirelessly to educate anyone who would listen about the benefits of electric drive. For those of us involved in the fight to stop the automaker’s practice of removing working electric vehicles from the road, Doug was always there, working late night shifts and volunteering to help with most any task."

  • Adopt - a - Charger Event! This looks like a fun event, so we thought we'd share:
    Adopt-A-Charger and the National Park Conservation Association for the Inaugural Ribbon Cutting of the first "Adopt a Charger" at Crissy Field in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
    The Plug-In Vehicle charger installation is tied to a solar array and wind turbine installation, and  Jonathan Jarvis, the Director of the National Park Service, will be in town from Washington DCfor this event.

    Date: February 15, 2012 Time: 12:30 PM
    Location: Crissy Field Center, 1199 East Beach, Presidio, San Francisco, CA 94129

    Adopt-a-Charger would love to have a good showing of electric vehicles at this event to support fee-free accessible public charging.
    If you will be able to bring an electric vehicle please email Kitty at kitty.adams@adoptacharger.org
    Tell her "a vehicle for change sent me!"

  • Smart Solar Car Charger... Coolest car charger EVER!
    Shaped like a leaf, it doubles as an LED street light and has a fold down bench. Super Smart. Great for places that have replaced all their REAL trees with fake things and concrete...

  • Action Track Chair : A Vehicle for Change What an amazing invention! This chair has no problem traversing over bumps in the road, gravel, etc.  - in fact, it actually seems to ride better on the rough spots than on a smooth surface. I had a chance to try it out yesterday. If you know someone in the Marin County area who is bound to a wheel chair, I highly recommend they give it a whirl while Don Swenson, the West Coast rep, is in town. He leaves on Friday.

  • The "#fuckyouwashington" : Now that I have your attention Seems to me a whole lot of people are angry at representatives of BOTH Parties Washington and for good reason.
    But why get angry and start tweeting swear words that have no chance of trending on twitter?  Now is not the time to sit around with a "wait and see" attitude. 
    Speak up, America. Use the technology available to us and let's use it wisely! The "f" word is an attention getter - but so it trending on twitter. Warning - trying to mentions Justin Bieberdoesn't seem to help. I tried it as an experiment.
    " please RT- Justin Bieber is rich, and I know he would pay more taxes to Save America "

    Anywaay, the point I'm tryng to make is - if you have a cell phone, get a twitter account and start tweeting what you really feel. And though in vino veritas, if you've had to much to drink before you choose to speak up, tag your tweet with #twi (tweeting while intoxicated.)

  • Bookmobile : A Vehicle for Change Yesterday morning, I took a ride in Tom Corwin's Bookmobile!
    What fun, and what a great project! My time in the Bookmobile brought me back to my youth, when I spent hours and hours pouring over the pages of "Make and Do" - a volume of the Childcraft encyclopedia.
    I love this project - Tom is taking the Bookmobile on the road to collect and document stories of famous authors as they take a turn "Behind the Wheel of the Bookmobile." Stay Tuned!

    ARTSBORETUM LIVE MUSIC APPRECIATION PARTY
    $5 cover and a one drink minimum. Beverage proceeds support the Belrose Theatre Performing Arts Scholarship Fund.
    hosted by Mari Mack & Livin' Like Kings.
    We appreciate live music, melody and musicianship!
    We appreciate art!
    We appreciate people who dance!
    We appreciate people who care about other people!
    Meet new kindred spirits, listen to music played with heart and soul, and celebrate life.
    Bring business cards.
    Believe in the power to create a better world, starting in our own backyard.
    Here's how it works : 7:30, we open the doors to let in our friends on our rehearsal, then at 8:00, the band plays for two hours (with a break in there somewhere) Sometimes, Arne Frager invites a guest artist or two sit in with the band - (guest appearances are pre-arranged. If you would like to be a guest musician, contact Arne through his website, http://arnefrager.blogspot.com )
    Recent guests : Tammi Brown, Don Bassey, Tomas Dessle, Scott Petersen, Prairie Prince, Lauren and Judge Murphy (Lansdale Station) Given Arne's 20 year history of running The Plant Studios in Sausalito, and his long list of album credits, you never know who will show up!
    Friends bring snacks to share and it's a POTLUCK - in a literal and musical sense!
    Artsboretum is a non-profit music/arts incubator cultivated by a group of conscious, creative people.
