Yesterday had nothing to do with the environment, at least, not according to sources I read.


tech shut off = energy saving = less dirty energy sources = green

or did you all decide to turn your electronics off because you thought it would be fun to live in the stoneage for a few hours?

I think you need to read the original story.


oh, so an even lamer reason than I had imagined. didnt think it was possible.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

*shrug* think what you will.

Personally, I did it more for the fun of it than for anything else. I just decided to read when I wanted to watch tv, and to paint when I wanted to play with my computer. Much more productive, in my opinion. :)

I guess the term as fun as watching paint dry comes into play here.

Watching paint dry can be surprisingly fun/fulfilling. :)

This summer, I might try watching grass grow! (if it ever stops snowing..)

Come down to Phoenix!  Grass has been growing for about 4 months!
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!
