Perhaps this is old news, but I thought this map was really interesting: http://www.muninetworks.org/communitymap )

Note that my job assignment has changed slightly, and I am now working just across the street for the UC Davis Energy Efficiency Center.  Same email address and phone number, although my mailing address has changed.   This change will allow me to do more interdisciplinary and cross-cutting work.  Keep an eye out for a new research group I'll be creating at the EEC, focused on the gap between expected building and system performance and the real world.  I should be launching it this summer!

Thanks Paul!



I love the racing outfit!



I have a few concerns with depicting fiber cables as I feel that most people wouldn't be able to identify what it is or represents without considerable technical background. My guess is Google has struggled with as well. Their fiber branding seems to split between a multi colored rabbit and a community of houses.
