  Starting it Off

  Greed could stop this. We obviously want users spending time on our website, not Tangler.

  And then there are the data synergies that we can do if people are posting through our own custom setup.

  What is the solar play?

  I think it's pretty obvious that solar energy is going to be major part of our energy infrastructure going forward. Solar cells, etc, are getting much more efficient and cheaper at Moore's Law-like rates. If you are looking 5-10 years out, you need to have solar stocks in your portfolio.

  The problem is deciding who is going to hang around and who will make the big break throughs. I'd say buy 3-4 of the biggest, best-looking companies on any sign of weakness (probabl not now). Keep tabs on things to make sure that your 3-4 companies are still on top of their game.

  Solar beats the general market over the next 2 decades for sure.

  What Wine Type Are You?

  Kaiken Ultra Malbec 2005 is a wine from Argentina that Kim and I liked recently. Chile has some great wines too.

  Dessert wines are generally made from grapes that are picked later in life (and thus have more sugar in them) and are also "fortified" with some other alcohol (typically brandy). This makes them sweet and the fortification makes them last a while after they are opened.

   It's a bit hard to get used to the thick syrupy taste of some dessert wines, but I find it helps to think of myself in my smoking jacket, with a cigar and my small glass of port. I don't smoke and I don't have a smoking jacket. So I just think of myself this way.

  Some dessert wines are less sweet than others. (Wish I could give a good example off the top of my head) Also some dessert wines are made from different fruit than grapes... typically berries like raspberry, blackberry. Though some are made from apples or pears or even bananas. These wines go through the same process as grape wine, just with different fruit.

  Why go to Philadelphia?

  For food (beside Cheesesteaks), I only have to recommend a place called "Vietnam" (http://www.eatatvietnam.com) in china town (near 11th and Vine). Make sure you don't go to "Vietnam Palace", which is right across the street. Get the spring rolls. Pork in a clay pot is good. Pho is good.
