Although I had a perfectly fine education , I blame that pedagogy for my annual need to describe what I did on my summer holiday . This week ’s podcast provides the chance to compound both bailiwick — education and how I spent my time away from workplace .

In this instance I spent an good afternoon touringHawai’i Preparatory Academy ’s Energy Lab — a sustainable teaching center — with its director , Dr. Bill Wiecking . I was vastly impressed by the study being done at the Lab . So impressed , in fact , that I call up I ’d divvy up some of the experience with you in the descriptor of an extended audience with Dr. Wiecking . If you ’re concerned in the future of sustainable living , teaching , and Apple ’s endeavor in each area , you must listen to this compelling consultation .

Show notes

For those who gravel to scan this far down the page , allow me reprise what I announce in the gap of this episode : Starting this week , we move to a hebdomadary podcast . I ’ll host every other week and , in the intervening week , the podcast will be host by another Macworld editor in chief — Jason Snell and Philip Michaels are the likely candidates . If you ’ve been go for more round - board interviews and sequence of the infamous Pundit Showdown , decease no more , there ’s good stuff and nonsense coming .

You may notice that I did very little other than take a few questions during my consultation with Bill Wiecking . That can be explain by an interviewer so wrapped up in what his guest was say that he did n’t require to interrupt the flow . Bill ’s an inspiring speaker unit and instructor — the kind that make me wish I could roll back the year and take class from him . The next adept thing is attend to some of his Macworld Expo sessions , where he ’s a unconstipated speaker . exposition 2011 Roger Sessions have n’t yet been announced , but keep your eyeson the siteand appear for his name . You wo n’t rue the metre you expend with him .

For other vacation - concern Twelfth day , be sure to read my article onwhat I learned on my summer holiday , which we publish on Macworld.com a few week ago .
