Don't mean to brag, but I like to boast. Check out this email that I just got about my superduper new parking garage feature. If you are nice to me, I'll let you point your telescope at it.

The Century Park West Garage WILL BE CLOSED SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13th at 11:00 p. m. and reopen Monday, December 14, 2009 at 5:00 a.m. in the morning.


The MGM is in the process of installing a solar system on the roof level of the Century Park West Garage. The interconnection of the system will take place on Sunday, December 13, 2009 at 11:00 p.m. – Monday, December 14, 2009 at 5:00 a.m. All electrical power must be shut down. Some limited emergency lighting will be available during this time but the elevators will not operate therefore the garage will be closed for safety reasons.

WTF? emergency lighting? How much crap will be orbiting that we will have that much shadow to contend with?

Be careful, your new car audio system might get sucked into a black hole.

 

[Pesqueeb]

I figured his new audio system will in fact be the center of this new universe.


*edit. I'm a little jealous that you got to use the words "heliocentric microcosm" in a thread title. Most cerebral thread title ever.

 

[AlmostHeaven]

and the point of having this inside a parking garage is....??

seems like a waste of time/money/resources. why don't they just build a new "plan-e-arium" for the city?

Solar system parking garage!

The new Ramen place in Century City mall however, is lacking.

I think they're saying all power will be cutoff except for that on some emergency light, most likely from a generator, when the main power is shut off.


It's helpful so you can see when it's dark, say during, oh I don't know.........night?

On a somewhat related note, my company does PV system installs. Go us.

I'm not a ramen guy, so I won't likely check that out anyway, but are you saying that place is awful, or just over-rated? It seems like everything they put in that spot of the food court dies, even though it has great exposure to foot traffic.

Regardless, I'm investing in any optics company with sunglasses line, as well as Coppertone... I once invested in Cooper-tone by mistake and my return on investment was nightmarishly bad.

 

[jonKranked]

So, what solar system are the installing? The Andromeda Strain? The Crab Nebula?

 

[Bushwhacker]

I like what they did on top of MITs parking garage...

Solar panels are step in the right direction as well.

Although in my defense, you are from Cali, so the lack of logic could have been plausible.

you focused on that? ok, now we know "u r teh gh3y" too, not that there is anything wrong with that, just making sure we are clear on the facts

I can't believe CrabJoe StretchPants and Poop Deck Edgar missed the crab nebula joke.

JK.......that post evoked literally zero emotion from me.

Now I get it, though, and that's all that really matters.

crabby shoulda caught that.

with "poop deck" in my title, i shoulda picked up on the "Andromeda Strain"

Attack Attack has a new set for their next video:

I thought it was going to be this:

Or they could just crabwalk their way through mandown's parking garage, and snip out his new radio.

didn't your stereo/gps/whosawahtsit get stolen while you were at work?

 

[mandown]

nope, it was stolen from infront of my apartment.

I would leave my car at work then.

 

[mandown]

i'll look into that.

I would like to install a solar tracking PV installation in my yard. Haven't researched it much, though.

Zomeworks is a nice tracker product, I like it b/c it uses no electricity. If you need more info (and good experience) talk to Richard Gottlieb (up your way) at Sunnyside Solar (Guilford VT). He's a really good resource, (I took an installer course a couple years ago from him).

Hey, the boss rides too. Cool.

I've been learning a lot about PV lately, trying to find a way to integrate it as a power source for some machines we build. I want to move into renewable energy, its fascinating.

Yea, our CEO does Ironman triathlons at the age of 70. Pretty insane. Also, a group of 5-10 guys ride some nearby mtb trails everyday during lunch. Really cool place to work if you ride bikes.


Renewable energy is a cool field for sure, especially these days.

 

[mandown]

wtf, did Crabzilla just turn my silly thread into something informative and useful?
knock that crap off. if i wanted information, i'd read something printed on paper, ya knuckle head.

My apologies.

Hey Joe, I almost took a job there this past Summer as the PV Systems Sales Manager...I was in the running, but ended up taking a job that was closer to home (Commuting from South Shore to Bedford wasn't my cup of tea)...the culture and people there seemed great.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

What a small world. I think I know who filled that position.........and it's a shame it wasn't you.
