The IFR project: the silver
bullet we need to stop global warming
Our top climate scientist, James Hansen, recently learned out about an old
technology that looks to be the single most important weapon we have to
fight global warming.
Waldenstrom's
macroglobulinemia: A new approach
In 2007, I was diagnosed with a rare incurable blood cancer that affects
1,500 people per year in the US. I probably have more than 5 years to live.
This page describes what I'm doing to try to save my life and the lives of
others with this disease.
Eliminating spam
I spent 2 years and $5M developing a new spam filter algorithm that is
currently more than 10 times more accurate than anything else on the market. Customers
of
Abaca have seen accuracy rates as high
as 99.99% and we have a 100% customer renewal rate. My daughter's school (Castilleja)
has been using it for 2 years now; the IT guy told me that they couldn't be
happier. Unlike other approaches, with our system, the more they spam, the
more accurate our filter becomes. We are talking to some major ISPs now to
achieve that scale. When we do....watch out! It will be the "holy grail" of
spam filters.
Who would make the best
President?
My in-depth analysis of the candidates that has convinced a lot of people to change who they
support in the Democratic primary. There is no reason to wait. You have all
the info you need to make your choice now. As we know from other elections,
the closer we get to the election, the more meaningless the data.
Why human beings could be
extinct by 2100
My incurable blood cancer is minor compared to what is happening with the
planet. Unless we make some dramatic changes soon to stop the rise of
greenhouse gas emissions, our best scientists agree that there
is now more than a 5% chance that most of humanity could be extinct in less than
100 years.
Sound hard to believe? I explain why this is and why we we aren't taking
action to change it.
The real enemy isn't the
terrorists
Do you know what it is?
Why global
warming should be every candidate's #1 priority
At the rate we are going, scientists predict that there is more than a 5%
chance that human beings may be virtually extinct in less than 100 years from now.
So tell me...just how bad does it have to get before the Presidential
candidates start talking about taking the problem seriously? You'll know
they finally "get it" when someone starts talking about replacing coal
plants with renewable plants. Nobody "gets it" yet.
Twenty
things every American should know about climate change
Climate change is important. We need to take aggressive action right now to
stop it. Here is what we should be doing and why.
Global Warming:
Why we must take dramatic action within the next 8 years
The first 2 paragraphs are a must read for everyone.
Carrie Anderson Information Page
Our personal assistant was killed in an auto accident on June 10, 2008.
She'll be missed.
These things are far less important:
