Shutdown Day 2007- Alternative Uses for your Laptop

Alternative Uses for your Laptop

So, can you shut down your computer for just one day ???

I really think that if I did have a laptop, I would show a little respect and give it the day to just be in it's own space and perhaps just let it have a bit of alone time - you know - freedom to fullfill itself - sigh - but since I just have this darling pc, I will close the door to the room and leave it in peace - anyway - March 24th... it's a Saturday - and it's just for one day - what am I saying - ARRRRGGGHGHHHHHHHHHHHH

How many Flourescent bulbs do you use???

I like this idea... I think Australia has gone just a little far in banning incandescent lights... but people do need a push in the right direction...

Project Porchlight is a campaign of One Change, a not-for-profit organization based in Ottawa, Ontario. The campaign's goal is to bring together business, community groups and volunteers to deliver one free compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) to every household in Canada.

Check your bulbs - can you change even one???

No More Procrastinating for me...

Google took me to The End of the Internet... I have no idea how I got there, but I guess I can find something else to do with my life now :)

Calgary Transit... sigh

I'm not usually much of a complainer. I usually grumble at home, but don't complain where it would do any good. Today I sent this email off to Calgary Transit...

I just missed the 4:05 tonight.

The 4:14 bus stopped at the green light on 6th Ave & 3rd St at 4:15 because there were already 2 buses in the stop and no room for more...

However as the light looked like it was ready to change, the young man driving this 108 bus rolled through the intersection...

Then pulled left around the 2 buses and angled into the curb in front of the church on the corner of 4th St.

All the people waiting at the stop ran up the block to catch him, except me...

I don't run too well, especially on snow and ice.

I went as fast as I could and when I saw the light turn green at 4th St. and he started to move, I yelled and waved to no avail...

The other 2 buses pulled out right behind the 108.

I was left. My knees are not pleased. And neither am I.

The next bus (the 4:24) arrived at 4:27 and by then I was in pain and very cold. The very nice lady driver on this bus tried very hard to squeeze every passenger on that she could - and a fine job she did, we are thankful for her.

I understand we are in need of drivers. Most of the ones we have now try very hard to make the best of a difficult situation.

I feel I deserve a personal apology from that young man driving the 4:14.

Feb 11th is Evolution Sunday for many Christians...

"Affirmation 10 of the Phoenix Affirmations states that Christian love of self includes claiming the sacredness of both our minds and our hearts, recognizing that faith and science, doubt and belief serve the pursuit of truth. "
"CrossWalk America has collaborated with Renegade Cinema to produce a short, very funny video that makes a serious point. You can watch the video on YouTube by clicking here. "
I can't say I found the video especially funny - however it definitely gets the point across - that there really is room to co-exist and believe in evolution and still remain in awe at God's creation.
I never could understand why folks get so uptight about this stuff...
