Google Maps for a Palm Treo

Well, this has turned out to be a great week for me in the world of free applications and sites for my Treo 650. I recently mentioned Wapedia. Now comes KMaps , a neat little Java application that allows handheld users to view Google Maps as well as the locations of friends, traffic info, and local info such as bars and restaurants. I just love this program. It's so much better than trying to get the traditional mapping sites to work on the Blazer browser.

Consumers Energy Green Generation Program

I recently went over to the Consumers Energy Web Site and signed up for the Green Generation Program. It's a way each of us can pay a little premium to have some of our electricity produced by clean methods such as wind power. I think we all know that we aren't going to kick the fossil fuel habit without shelling out a little bit of money first to get cleaner technologies developed, so it makes sense to have programs like these to get the ball rolling.
