Energy Wasting Day 2008
Here's how I'm contributing to Energy Wasting Day 2009:
- Stayed up till midnight so I could start my cars right at 12:01 am. I'm letting them idle in my front yard all night.
- Disabled the screen saver on my computers and am leaving them on all night.
- Wrote this perl script to make sure the CPU runs as hot as possible while(1){print "not hot enough";}
- Put a humidifier and de-humidifier in the kitchen. Letting them duke it out.
- Replaced all the CFL's with incandescent bulbs.
- Replaced my circuit breakers with metal strips and dropped the hair dryer in the tub.
- Turned the heat up to 86 degress F. Opened the windows to cool the place off.
- Jammed a screw driver in the cloths dryer timer so it would run indefinitely. Going on 4 hours now!
- Having an endurance contest between my lawn mower and snow blower. So far they've been running for a little over 2 hours without a gas refill.
- Recipe of The Day: Refrigerated bottled water shipped from Figi + boiling bottled water from the Antarctic Ice shelf = a tasty glass of perfectly room temperature water.
