Fantastic writeup. It's amazing how much you've learned about the process over the last month. This guide should be a huge asset for people looking at going to/visiting Milan.

Are there any other regions or cities that have an extension? Seems like a pretty a-typical/cool thing. I'd have never guessed.

Sounds like bitter sweet farewells. Very cool that you've managed to build such a fun group though, given the short time you've been over.

Good Italian Mexican food? I'm surprised! That's awesome though, usually it's nothing but horror stories!

This paragraph was fantastic: "Our world is a combination of all history written or otherwise. There is no action that can be taken in this world that is not reliant on past cultural influences. Each day, every moment we live, each word we speak, every building and edifice constructed has its history rooted across time, cultures and imagination."

More than a little excited about being able to finally travel together!

I'm terribly proud of you Nate. Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts. Love you and miss you, but couldn't be prouder of the individual you've become and the path you're on. That, above and beyond any other gift is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

What an incredible day/evening. So wonderful how you've been able to really commune with the culture and become part of the local community.

The food sounds amazing as well!

Oops, forgot to log in.

@Brad - As a fellow Berkeleyan and Leaf owner next month, I was already wondering how far we can make it into Marin. Let me know if you attempt Stinson Beach! Did you have #rangeanxiety on that trip

In the long term, I want to see Toyota come up with a RAV 4 that has enough range to make it from Bay Area to Lake Tahoe, which means about 200 miles of range, some extra juice for that hill. I often hear people from the Bay Area saying they want this. They are poised to be first to market, either that or it will be Ford.

We just created a poll on why OEMs are suddenly putting on a micro electric car show. It is only one question, you can take it here: http://twtpoll.com/d7jbwg. The results so far may surprise you.

Social media will play an increasingly important role in the successful commercialization of cleantech. Even more so than in other industries, social media can make or break cleantech brands. Smart Canada has done some exemplary work using social media to market their upcoming EV. Here??s a popular case study on the subject.http://www.cleantechms.com/2011/08...

Re: Solar Titan Faces Funding Worries After Solyndra

Remy Tennant — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 00:27:52 -0000

Solyndra deserves what it is getting, but this is tragic for solar, renewable energy, and cleantech in general. This is obviously a PR debacle, and Solyndra's miserable failing at social media crisis management is making it worse. It's kinda shocking, but then not so shocking.

Re: Chevy Volt Sales Grow in May, Nissan LEAF Slump Continues

Remy Tennant — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 17:19:32 -0000

I'm a Leaf owner in SF Bay Area and I'm seriously frustrated by the lack of charging infrastructure, especially fast chargers. My Leaf can't quite make my new 90 mile round trip commute without going 50 mph and/or drafting....closest charging stations to where I work in Silicon Valley are 3 miles away....so I charge there and bike to work. If I could hit a fast charger for just 10 minutes it would solve my problem. Hey EV Project, what gives!?

Re: Plug In America Gives Away 10 iPads to Promote 62 EVents Nationwide

Remy Tennant — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:07:32 -0000

@Gorr Actually we've had several hundred people enter already. The target market for EVs has a high percentage of tech enthusiasts, as I'm sure you're well aware. Most likely there are also plenty of Apple fans among them as well. Facebook contests are a tried and true marketing tactic. So when you put it all together it's not surprising that this contest has been successful so far.
