This past Sunday I attended two graduation ceremonies. First, my brother's fiance (soon to be my sister-in-law!) got her Ph.D. from Brown. When that was over, I walked across campus to see one of my close friends at the undergraduate ceremony, where his girlfriend was getting a B.A.. The weekend was essentially one big celebration. Congratulations again to all my Goucher friends. You're educated!
Work has continued to be a process of learning different protocols and acronyms. Much like at Goucher, there are acronyms for everything, and much like a freshman, I don't know them yet. But I'm learning.
My Peace Practice classmates might be interested to know that there's a lot of talk of "negawatts" here at EnerNOC, which is a term coined by Amory Lovins. Basically, negawatts are what I was talking about in the last post. It's a negative watt. Producing an extra watt of electricity is all well and good, but if you can reduce the NEED by one watt, you've created the same benefit without the harm to the environment or the power grid. That's a "negawatt."
That's about all I've got for now. On an unrelated note, I'm adding the following disclaimer to all my posts, since I work for the company I'm talking about:
The views expressed here are my own and not the views of the company (EnerNOC, Inc).
To some people it's obvious, to lawyers, not so much. Point is, everything in this blog represents the opinion of me, the author, and not necessarily anyone else. Because I am a free-thinking individual. This is not an official blog sponsored by the company, this is just some kid sharing what he's learned over the course of his internship, and should be viewed as such. It should be noted that the legal disclaimer also applies to my opinions on legal disclaimers (I think they're silly, but I don't represent the company in saying that).
