This guy is fantastic. I have never seen him on the yellow line, but if you have, please let me know when so we can all see this for ourselves. Brewcaster has a Portland Oregon sights and sounds Vimeo group with over 100 videos.

We also just started a Portland Video group on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/groups/portland) after discovering that it has much better quality and usuabilty than the Youtubes. You should add videos to Brew's and ours . If you want your video to be in the Daily Stank Video Bank series.

The League of Women Voters will host the Presentation on Peak Oil at 7 pm on Tuesday February 10th. The event takes place in the Board Room of the Multnomah County Building, 501 SE Hawthorne. And hey, it's free!

Everyone is welcome to attend.

John Kaufmann, Senior Policy Analyst with the Oregon Department of Energy's Conservation Division, has the facts, the analysis, and some helpful suggestions for a sustainable future. (website link)

For anyone who missed hearing Mr. Kaufmann speak at the Bagdad, here's your chance to catch an informed presentation about the ever present future of black gold. Oil! I love oil. Oil is concentrated sun. The source. The power. The ineffable mystery. Let's just say okay, we worship the damn stuff, we love it, we fight over it, we depend on it, we use it every day (okay, we in the modern world, not the wood burning subsistence farmers).

Anyone, especially those who want to know the master narrative of our times, can tune into this presentation. It's like war and peace, only it's Oil and Love, the stuff that makes the world go round.
