Skip this post if you're only here for the baby action

Many of you know that I wrote my thesis on development of offshore wind energy in the U.S. Of course, you can't talk about that without talking about everyone's favorite project, Cape Wind. As it turns out, I could have just given the whole thing a miss and let the Daily Show handle it. The video is here.

But while you're watching the shots outside the gatehouse at the Oyster Harbors Club, know that the Daily Show somehow failed to incorporate perhaps the greatest of all ironies: the symbol of this esteemed organization, based on the signature structure located about 100 yards due east of the guardhouse itself, and displayed on everything from security stickers on their cars to the gin-and-tonic glasses in the clubhouse is...

... wait for it...

a windmill.

Interesting you bring up Cape Wind, I just found out that the new company I work for is on the the consultants on the project! Rumor has it I'll be doing Cape Wind GIS work next week.

Anna, you look ready to go at any day now. Best wishes.
