Hey, congrats, Will!

From the Sierra club synopsis of the meeting...

Quote:
Will Meredith will discuss “Optimizing Your Vehicle for Fuel Efficiency” at the May 19 general meeting. He will review a number of safe techniques and practices, any of which can be employed to increase the fuel efficiency of vehicles used on roads. Meredith describes himself as a 23-year-old Binghamton native who “builds/repairs/hates/loves computers for a living, and sometimes make websites.” Meredith says: “There aren't many things I'm not interested in. I believe information should be free, and I love sharing my knowledge and learning. I grew up with a nasty cultural addiction to energy; since my job doesn't allow for other forms of transportation, I do my best to use as little energy as I can while driving. “Being able to drive wherever one wants, whenever one wants, is a remarkable power, and with that power comes an oft-shirked responsibility.”
Looking forward to seeing the vid, if you can get that $(%(- &#&^$ piece of &#^$ to work!
