For you Cowboy fans...a tour of your stadium...I'm really jealous!


This place is beautiful...as hard as this Raider fan tried, I just couldn't dislike this monument to football...



Below is the runway where the Cowboys run out to the field...they run right through a club full of their fans!

Thaddeus was a little disappointed that the cheerleaders were not in their locker-room...

So he decided to try out for the team...

The team didn't pick him up, but we got to kick it in one of the executive suites...



Check out the world's BIGGEST TV!



Tom Landry...football legend...


Their pro shop had nothing but pink...are they cowboys or cowgirls?


The world's first drive-through stadium...



Inside Jerry Jones private viewing perch...


His view of the field...


His own review machine...they got 14 cameras on every play...


It's still Silver n Black, baby!

A tribute to African-American Cowboys...and grabbing the bull by the horns...literally! And the world's largest Hooters...



Thaddeus decides to run with the bulls...and ended up running FROM the bulls...'til I grabbed the bull by the horns...






The World's largest Hooters...no jokes, please...this was all business...

I wonder what Thaddeus was looking at...I'm sure it had nothing to do with Hooters...

Solar Power International 2011 - we roam the Dallas Convention Center


So Thaddeus and I have been here a couple of days and been walking the exhibit halls...here is a sampling of what we have seen and some of the things that have wowed us...

Fronius inverter


Solar water heater above...and a sampling of different panels below...




The panel above was one HUGE panel...about 35 feet high! I guess everything IS bigger in Dallas....


The PV Box, this is where they put solar guys when they misbehave!

Solar powered trailer above...


Roof mounts


Building-integrated solar panels...Europe is using these all over the place...


Backpacks and laptop bags with solar panels built in for recharging cell phones and laptops...


Concentrated photovoltaics



Thin-film photovoltaics above, and a solar-electric scooter below...



Photovoltaic cells mounted on clear plastic...used a lot on bus stops and other applications that require light to come through...


This is me giving the speaker panel on solar jobs a hard time...give the homies a shot, give the homies a job!


Charging station for electric cars...




The infamous solar energy system built for really little people...Thaddeus?



Me and the solar bunnies...wow...I love PV!
