Yesterday, I talked about the tremendous year the solar industry had in 2010. While the S&P was up nearly 20%, some companies saw gains as high as 80% and 120%. And for the first time ever, the industry installed over 1 gigawatt of capacity. Solar has a lot of momentum going into 2011. And that tailwind is being [...]

Solar is shaping up to have another big year in 2011. I say “another” because it had a great year in 2010. It is just that the financial press didn’t pay attention to it. They should have. In the last 12 months, the S&P has increased about 20%. That is a great year. But look at what some solar [...]

Namby-pamby  (NAM-bee PAM-bee) – a word coined by the 18th century writer Henry Carey – means weak or indecisive; lacking in character. Example (as used in the movie Dr. Doolittle): “Look – we don’t need these namby-pamby wacko freaks. It’s you and me – straight to the top.”

The Language Perfectionist: A Parade of Misuses

While listening to National Public Radio, I heard a plug for the film The King’s Speech. The announcer referred to George VI’s “impromptu ascension to the throne.” If you’ve seen this excellent movie, you know that George’s becoming king could be described in many ways, but impromptu — spontaneous, unplanned — is not among them. Quite [...]

Testimonials

  • “Thank You Again”

    Michael, I’ve just read your article about How to Have Friends and it expressed my feelings so well I almost could have written it myself. I call people who constantly worry about whether their relationships are “equal” scorekeepers. They are often too busy worrying about things being equal to get anything done. Thank you again! I appreciate being on your e-mail list so much!
