Speed Bumps

Who doesn't love a forward-thinking company? Add U.K. supermarket chain Sainsbury's to the list with their introduction of a "'people-powered' kinetic energy system" at its store in Gloucester, U.K.. Cars driving over special plates placed around the store's parking lot will generate energy, which in turn will be used to power all the store's check outs. While reading this article about these energy-producing bumps in the road, all I could think was "That is so cool!"

It's a fortunate coincidence I found this article because it makes a great lead in for this next bit of news I have to share. The Dadson Diaries will be undergoing some changes in upcoming weeks as our marketing department works to align our social media efforts. There may be some bumps in the road along the way, but as Sainbury's shows, some bumps actually help make for a better business. In our case, we're hoping they'll lead to a better experience for all of you Diaries readers.

So please bear with us and pardon our dust. We promise it'll be worth it.
