--- it's 4:49 in the AM, wednesday, July 16th, and I'm completely restless. which may/will explain why i'm so badly searching for something to write about/reach out to people with/DO... in the verbal state of the word. Is there any other?
but, uhh... just thought, any of you not in the know... should know about 'blackle'.
a poorly titled search engine that is really just a shell [front page] for google... though a good idea. and the theory is this:"Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. 'Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.'"
long story short... it's black instead of white, which uses less energy. thus saving our ever-shriveling planet.
but realistically folks... if you're missing that 'dare to be great' situation that hasn't presented itself yet... or perhaps you're apprehensive about handing over your last two cans of baked beans that might keep you alive during nuclear winter to 'Tiffany' the girl scout who really wants her 64 megabyte waterproof mp3 player so she can rock out to the jonas brothers at 'mini-me-boot-camp-for-girls-who-cant-swim-good'......whatever your cause......
just go to your preferences and reset your homepage form google.com to blackle.com. save a tree, or a fish, or a can of baked beans, or tiffany from the inevitable ridicule at swim practice for actually liking those fruit bats.
stay up,
chevy
[edit] notice OUR BLOG is supremely back as well?? yeah we're hip to the cause mah bruddah.

I'm using Blaxel.com http://www.blaxel.com. Is another version of black Google, but with brighter text which makes it easier for my eye. Save energy, but save your eye too.
Who's the "hippie" now? (I'm so proud of you.) Now, take a minute to send people to cleanmpg.com. I'm using THIRTY-FREAKIN' PER CENT LESS GAS doing only the basics.
Bob Shafer (misspelled on purpose) was scooting around the backwoods of Colorado trying to take advantage of the energy "crisis." Um, been there, done that thirty years ago, and NO lessons were learned and this pipsqueak is pushing more of the same crap that didn't work that time. I caught a tone though, in the quotes from some of his audience, that he's not preaching to the choir in quite the way he counted on.
Anyhoo, saving 30 per cent (and possibly much more) on getting your car from point A to point B should be appealing to anyone right now, be they tree-huggers or resource rapists. So, pass it on, dammit!
Love,
"Maw"
