Wind Energy in Use - Sail Boats and Sailing Ships



Wind energy in use... sail boats and sailing ships... this is the way that humans have traveled over the rivers, lakes, and oceans for thousands and thousands of years. I've been fascinated by this mode of travel for many, many years. When my dad moved our family to the island of Guam, I had a chance to be on these boats in the open ocean around the island. Truly an interesting experience. This Squidoo lens on sailing ships explains a bit more about this use of alternate energy for transportation propulsion.

Japanese Movies - The Old, Modern, Fun, and Bizarre!




I've always loved Japanese movies -- ever since being introduced to the Godzilla movies on the Saturday afternoon "creepy creature features". This Squidoo lens gives you an idea of the wide variety of Japanese movies out there... the science fiction ones, the old-style ones (sort of similar to American "Westerns"), the police detective mysteries, and the comedies. All are a bunch of fun!
