I’ve been hosting with Dreamhost for a good long while, and they have been doing their bit to be a green host for a while (meaning this blog is sorta green if not in content).
Heck here is how Dreamhost put it:
DreamHost is carbon neutral. We’ve calculated the impact of everything that DreamHost uses and leaves [...]

Welcome to Living in the Whine Country. New design going on, so please be patient and let me know on any issues.
I read an interesting article about how even though the islands themselves are worthless (Radiation extremely strong in the coconuts growing there and such)… the coral around the Bikini Atoll actually is regrowing at a great rate.
What does a coral reef look like 50 years after being nuked? Not so bad, it seems. Coconuts growing [...]

Almost straight out of the Flinstones an art exhbit got pulled over by Toronto police… make that an ‘86 Buick…

When I lived down in Southern California, all the talk was water conservation, even as lawns where being kept green. I come back a few years later and everything is low flow. Special water saver sprinklers water lawns even when there isn’t an official drought, and they are using the same low flow toilets and [...]
“A little-known island continent of floating toxic plastic garbage, TWICE the size of Texas, is growing in the pacific between California and Hawaii. Officially known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, until it can be taxed, U.S. officials will continue to ignore it. I heard of it once many years ago, but it apparently has [...]
I finally got my first bill from AT&T in a cardboard box containing 300 pages of it. Apparently, they give you a detail transaction of every text message sent and received. Completely unnecessary.

I’ve posted before about how fast Electric cars can go. And I think I’ve even done a write up about the WriteSpeed. But even though I posted the video of a Ferrari and Porche getting beat, that was the Writespeeds X-1’s distant cousin the Arial Atom (They share the same body). [...]

[...] The Air Resources Board continues to show a bias toward hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and against the less expensive and more efficient battery electric vehicles. This bias is clearly seen in the ARB Independent Expert Panel Report. Tesla Motors believes this bias is not justified by science or the evidence of actual vehicles and [...]

I’ve seen storm drains get over flowed and cause flooded zones. And sometimes in those cases I’ve seen the sewer cover get floated off. But to be thrown intot eh air and take out a car? The person is lucky they didn’t get killed.
Also the people are jerks for not stopping and [...]
The Toyota Prius has become the flagship car for those in our society so environmentally conscious that they are willing to spend a premium to show the world how much they care. Unfortunately for them, their ultimate ‘green car’ is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America; it takes more combined [...]
