thank you, cara. i needed that. cara and i had one of those ridiculous laughing attacks where you are crying uncontrollably for 8-10 minutes straight. except we were in the middle of a lecture. which, i think made us laugh harder. like 5th grade get sent to the principle hard. then in snorted. every time i heard her inhale or noticed any one of our friends looking at us, i laughed harder....

solar panels or wind? what are your other favorite forms of alternative energy? the term alternative energy is kind of weird to me. both wind and solar power are nothing new. we may be working on cheaper and cheaper ways to harness it, but i think the word ‘alternative’ turns people off. the other night, john wondered out loud who the future questionnaire would be who was going to...

as cute as an ecobutton: computer energy saver →

these intrigued me for awhile. maybe they still do, i don’t know. but, they don’t seem at all safe. somehow, flying down the autobon seems okay, but here in the states, surrounded by all the hummer moms and huge pickups hauling nothing but ego, i don’t think i’ll be putting my deposit down just yet…
