It's Spring time and I got my cycling fever... or is it cycling allergies.  All I know is that I want to get out and ride!

If you are in Wilmington, this is a great event for the cycling community.  The bike trails are slowly making there way around Wilmington and it's really making a difference in how folks move around the city.

Good on ya Willywood!

The SunFlower Home Heliostat - Fully Autonomous

The SunFlower Home Heliostat - Fully Autonomous

My brother and I used to do this - manually- at our workshop with old mirrors from Big screen TVs.

I don't know if these work, but I hope they do. 500 bucks isn't too much to pay for quality and free light. I wonder how long they would last...

Check it out and tell me what you think!
