Inventor Ed Hammer, who works for IdeaStar client TCP Inc., the leading manufacturer of compact fluorescent lighting, was recently featured on The Consumer Reports blog in the 10 Questions For… column. The bimonthly feature presents ten questions to a person of importance.
As the father of the compact fluorescent light bulb, Ed has some interesting points to make. His original bulb is in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. If you are ever there, stop in and take a look.
IdeaStar is always amazed at the interesting people we work with. Learn more about Ed and compact fluorescent lighting at his blog, Drop the Hammer.

On Sunday Sept 7 Becky Lovejoy and Whitney Zunic participated in the 9th Annual Cleveland Clinic Sports Health River Run. Their team, Running for Cookies, participated in the half marathon relay, with Whitney running the first part of the relay of 5.8 miles, and Becky meeting up with her at the exchange point to run the last part of 7.3 miles.
This was their first attempt at a half-marathon relay, and despite the rain it was a very enjoyable experience for them both! Their next adventure is the 17th Annual Towpath Marathon, Half & 10k on October 12, where they will both be participating in the 10k. There is still time to register if you are interested in running as well!

We do work hard here at IdeaStar. We really do. But every now and then we need to take a break. That’s why we had a coloring contest. Marketing Assistant Whitney Zunic is the winner. Be sure to look for future coloring contest winners.

These are just a few phrases IdeaStar employee Brian Swan used to describe his recent trip to Hawaii! He traveled to the island of Oahu with his wife to see many wonderful sites and share lots of pictures with us! They visited Turtle Cove and attended a luau type performance. Other fun visits included Diamond Head, the Bonsai Pipeline and the famous estate from Magnum PI. Here are some of his favorite pictures:
The view from Kolhoe’s bar and grill.
The incredible colors and clarity of the waters at Makapuu Beach.
Duke Paoa Kahanamoku on the beach at Waikiki.
Banyan trees everywhere (this one just happens to be on the Waikiki beach).
The Hula Girls!
Sunset at Ko Olina Resort in Oahu.
Sounds (and looks) like Brian had an amazing time away from the real world! He says he can not wait to go back. He missed out on the diving and snorkeling this time, would love to visit the Big Island and also try to make it out to Kaui which is more rain forest and underdeveloped than all of the other islands. He has assured us there will be another Hawaii trip in his future!
