The power of pants

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Here’s food for thought for your weekend: someday soon you may be able to plug your iPod, or cell phone into your pants for a charge. Sound unbelievable? It does to me, but researchers at UC Berkeley have created microscopic fibers that can produce electricity from simple body motions like bending or stretching. You can read all the details in the LA Times article, One day your pants may power your iPod.

Now, you may be asking yourself, what does this have to do with real estate? Absolutely nothing. But, there’s not that much currently going on in real estate that’s all that interesting. The best news I’ve read this week is that the CA real estate market isn’t getting worse. The economy still hasn’t recovered to the point where we’re seeing a real upswing in the market. I know it’s coming, it’s just slower than we’d all hoped for.

If you’re interesting in taking advantage of lower prices, or want to be positioned to jump in when the market starts to turn, now is a great time to get your real estate salesperson or broker’s license. Start now and you’ll have the license of your dreams by the end of the summer. To find out more, check out the links below.
