Image credit: Collapsus When I interviewed my friend Tim Toben , he argued that one of the most important things we can do is to “tell the story about the transformation from a world powered by fossil fuels to a world powered by renewable energy — in poetry, music, art, dance. Make it real for people who can’t imagine their way out of the hole we find ourselves in.” I’ve just come across a fascinating multimedia (or transmedia, apparently) project that aims to do just that. The only trouble is, … Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Logitech Revue is in many ways the flagship Google TV launch device. While Sony integrated Google’s new media platform into its line of Internet TVs and the Internet TV Blu-ray player , the Revue is a dedicated Google TV device, albeit with a few additional features like optional an optional video calling camera. It’s also the cheapest, at $299, and possibly the easiest to add into an existing A/V system, since it has Logitech’s Harmony universal remote technology built-in. We’ve already covered Google TV as a platform , so let’s take a closer look at the Revue to see if Logitech’s riff on the connected TV is worthy of its lead-dog status.

Image: Screenshot, Climate Denial Crock of the Week One of the prevailing myths about climate change is that it’s a “new” science — merely the latest fad in an ongoing cycle of scientific doom-saying. You’ve almost certainly heard or read someone say something like this: “In the 70s, the scientists were all telling us the globe was cooling — now it’s warming. Well which one is it, durn it?” The implication is that climate science is some kind of a trend, and is apt to change course when those fickle scientists find something els… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photos: Brian Merchant The Chevy Volt is one of the ‘Big Two’ — along with the Nissan LEAF , it’s about to become the first electric car primed for the mass market in the United States. Each has its share of devotees: The LEAF is true-blue electric, entirely eschewing gasoline — but that’s a double-edged sword for some; it can to make those less enthusiastic about EVs nervous about running out of charge.

Remember the FlyWire? Time to fuhgettaboutit it. While Belkin saw fit to kill the flagship wireless HDMI product of the last decade, a number of other firms have moved forward with similar ideas — thankfully for far less cheddar in many cases. Take this guy, for instance. Best Buy’s in-house Rocketfish label has just introduced a four-port WirelessHD kit, which consists of two separate pieces that work in unison to pipe 1080p content from up to four HDMI sources (one at a time, obviously) to a single HDMI-equipped display. It’s utilizing the same 60GHz WirelessHD protocol that’s been hanging around for years, and supposedly it can operate with around 33 feet of space between boxes. There’s support for 3D video, CEC remote functionality and surround sound, and it’ll even auto-sense which HDMI socket is active and change over to that one for you. At $299.99, it’s definitely one of the cheaper ways to cut an HDMI cable from your setup, but only time will tell if artifacting is an issue. In semi-related news, Rocketfish is also debuting a set of wireless cans at $119.99, with the full details on those waiting just after the break.
