&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay we are already green but Tony Perkins and Ed Ring invited us to participate in the &lt;a href="http://www.alwayson.goingon.com/ecom/productview/7539" target="_blank"&gt;GoingGreen&lt;/a&gt; Conference at U.C. Davis.&amp;nbsp; This was a fantastic conference.&amp;nbsp; They expected 700 people and over 800 showed up which is amazing given the drive from San Francisco is about an hour and twenty minutes.&amp;nbsp; I drove up on Monday night to meet Ron Jr and Ron Sr then I drove the car over to the venue.&amp;nbsp; Here are some pics of the Robert Mondavi Conference Center and the car in the auto garden.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.e85viper.com/WindowsLiveWriter/4th%20and%20goinggreen%20167.jpg" atomicselection="true"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.e85viper.com/WindowsLiveWriter/4th%20and%20goinggreen%20174.jpg" atomicselection="true"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right: 0px;

&lt;p&gt;Then we went to the cocktail reception after the Keynote from my friend Zem Joaquin (nice job Zem!) and William McDonough.&amp;nbsp; Here are some pics from the packed cocktail reception and the boys from Chicago enjoying some California hospitality.&amp;nbsp; Ron Sr was out charming the crowd and even met a guy who owned Aston Martin back in the 70's!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.e85viper.com/WindowsLiveWriter/4th%20and%20goinggreen%20170.jpg" atomicselection="true"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right: 0px;

&lt;p&gt;The next day was jam packed with people coming by to check out the E85 Viper in a sea of electric and hydrogen powered cars that looked like this&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.e85viper.com/WindowsLiveWriter/4th%20and%20goinggreen%20175.jpg" atomicselection="true"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right: 0px;

&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I think my favorite moment of the day was someone who spotted the car from across the way and came stomping over looking quite upset.&amp;nbsp; He looks at me and said "Please don't tell me you neutered this beautiful car so it could run on biofuel".&amp;nbsp; He was ecstatic to hear it was just the opposite and we had in fact more than doubled the horsepower.&amp;nbsp; He smiled from ear to ear and said "that is good to hear...I own a white Viper".&amp;nbsp; Got to love Viper owners.&amp;nbsp; We also had some great visitors from the press including Michael Kanellos who I haven't seen in years.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;nbsp;wrote a &lt;a href="http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9777021-7.html" target="_blank"&gt;nice story&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; BTW Michael the "source close to the company" was not me but I sure wish I knew who it was since they almost tanked my first acquisition.&amp;nbsp; Finally Bambi Francisco stopped by to to an interview for her new startup up &lt;a href="http://www.vator.tv/" target="_blank"&gt;vator.tv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I attended several sessions including one on biofuels and another on the next generation car.&amp;nbsp; Three things became quite clear&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;a tremendous amount of innovation is happening in the industry&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;e85 stands out as something you can do to have an immediate impact on the environment &lt;strong&gt;today&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;electric and hydrogen are still relatively impractical alternatives and some feel hydrogen will never make it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another cocktail reception where I ran into my good friend Paul Denninger, it was great to catch up and get his take on the conference as well as the overall tech industry.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, we closed down the Auto Garden and it was time to drive my baby home.&amp;nbsp; After two long years of waiting I finally drove her home.&amp;nbsp; I must say running her on E85 at high boost is &lt;strong&gt;epic&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;She is finally sitting in my garage safe and sound.&amp;nbsp; Here is a pic from the garden right before we left.&amp;nbsp; I like the reflection of the tree on the trunk and hood, kind of says it all...&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.e85viper.com/WindowsLiveWriter/4th%20and%20goinggreen%20180.jpg" atomicselection="true"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right: 0px;
