At the West Coast Green Expo, I was inspired by an innovative company that is leading the way in energy conservation technology called Agilewaves. Home and building owners can finally monitor and automate the steps needed to reduce their energy consumption, carbon footprint and operating costs without relying on human intervention. Here is the link to their website:

Absolutely New
I am working with an exciting new company here in San Francisco
as Director of Innovations at Absolutely New, Inc.
They have invested over $35 million building their business. In addition, they are financially backed by a top-tier Silicon Valley venture capital firm. After reviewing hundreds of investment opportunities they decided to back Absolutely New. And with $400 million under management, they provide access to significant growth capital.
I'll be working with entrepreneurs launching innovative product development and marketing initiatives worldwide.
I'm also a big fan of CNBC's show called "The Big Idea with Donny Deutch."

***FED CUTS RATES AGAIN AND HINTS AT PAUSE***
Central bank cuts rates for seventh time since September, but sees less risks of slowdown, suggesting this may be last cut for a while.
By Chris Isidore, CNNMoney.com senior writer
April 30, 2008: 2:20 PM EDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Federal Reserve cut its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point Wednesday, but the central bank's statement signaled it may be the last rate cut for at least a while.
The cut took the federal funds rate, the key overnight rate at which banks loan money to one another, to 2%. It had been at 5.25% as recently as September, when the Fed started slashing rates in an effort to spur the economy and keep the nation out of recession.
The federal funds rate is a benchmark for home equity lines of credit, credit cards and other consumer loans as well as the prime rate used for short-term business loans.
But the Fed's statement suggested that it needs to continue to closely monitor inflation pressures and it dropped its previous mention of downside risks to growth. Experts generally believe that type of language signals the central bank is ready to pause for some time.
Fed policymakers are not set to meet again until June 24 and 25, the longest gap in its calendar of meetings this year.
