How did your Earth Hour go?
My husband and I enjoyed it so much, we want to try to do it weekly.
Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
LOL, that’s funny.
My safety lib dumbass for a job posted this to 200 engineers last week. Unreal.
If you’ve never been to The People’s Cube web site, you’re in for a treat. They’ve got a *lot* of funny stuff.
I volunteered at my Church services - the music was cranked!
Made sure a light was on at home - usually I set it to the 50w setting - I ran it at 150w. Ha!
We turned out the lights. For lumination we went outside and burned old wooden pallets and tossed in a couple of truck tires. Who needed lights?
“mini baby boom in 9 mos ?”
For Conservatives.
3600 earth seconds.
I turned on all the lights in my house and opened all the blinds.
Dark tonight followed by light tomorrow...
I smoked two good cigars on my deck, My dad came to visit and we shot my Walther P-99 pistol off the porch.
It was a fine evening.
Why just an hour? Why not a year or two? Surely, by then we would have some clear indications of the benefits and/or drawbacks of that kind of conservation.
GUILTY!
Watched “Horton and the Who” with my preschoolers - teaching them value of life, propping up the economy, and a big thumbs down to liberals in one family friendly activity!
It went great! We lit a bunch of candles and burned our house to the ground (it’s a shame about all that excess carbon emitted into the atmosphere during the blaze, but our intentions were good - that’s what matters, right?) We had such a wonderful night as a family (who needs tv when you can roast marshmallows on an exciting blaze), especially when the free fireworks happened when our two SUVs in the garage blew up! We’re so excited to celebrate Earth Hour next year!
The local LA reporters announced last night that Los Angeles was “conspicuously bright”. Heehee
Wonderful. We were with friends celebrating our sons’ 17th birthdays on the beach at Seascape. The kids had a great party and we did our part by dousing the electric lights and having a huge bonfire. We generated as much CO2 as we possible could with lots of cedar logs.
Did the local fire department WASTE any energy on you? I sure hope not!
Data Center Electricity Bills DoubleBy Marianne Kolbasuk McGee
InformationWeek

The energy consumed by data center servers, cooling equipment, and related infrastructure more than doubled in the United States and worldwide between 2000 and 2005, according to a new study. A jump in the number of servers--especially lower-end servers costing less than $25,000--accounts for 90% of the additional power consumption, says the study's author, Jonathan Koomey, a consulting professor at Stanford University and a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
