Interesting… I just have a place.

Lest I forget – Steve has a thing for software and beer. Now that’s an idea I can get behind!

Seems like it might be high time to revisit this whole blogging thing.

We seek to provide a resource for energy conservation and sustainability knowledge, advocacy, and our own personal efforts. Peter and I will co-author the blog, bringing our own perspectives to these issues. A prominent focus will be on the human aspect: what Peter and I are doing, what others are doing, and how the world is changing as a result.

Check it out now at http://www.energysoapbox.org. Send comments, ideas, and criticisms to us at blog -.- at -.- energysoapbox.org.

Let me know if stuff breaks.

So, here’s the deal. If you run IE, you can’t see this site (nor this message, for that matter) anymore. Myles has figured out a clever workaround to this, but if you run IE with that workaround, I presume you to be smart enough to use Firefox. If you run IE and come here, you get a nice message prompting you to use Firefox. If you change to Firefox, you earn me a dollar.

Also, if you change to Firefox using the link on the sidebar, you also earn me a dollar. So, umm, earn me some dollars. :-)

I have also added a Google AdSense bar to the sidebar in a discreet location. I’ve made $0.10 doing this today in about 2 hours, so I’m probably going to leave it there and use the proceeds to buy beer or donate to various charities. In tight situations, I might use it to buy books or food or something. The AdSense bar might not stay though…

So, moral of the story: convert to Firefox and look and click on those ads. :) Thanks!

I may or may not have actually articulated said promise on the blog though…) that there would be a revision to the venerable sean’s place this summer. I attacked it early and moved the entire operation over to WordPress.

On comments, I really haven’t experimented with them – but gone are the days of TypeKey. You will need to register yourself on my site (which means, roughly, with me) to comment and stuff. It’s innocuous and purely a spam deterrent. I also added some long-missing old stuff, like a blurb about me, a link to the gallery, and a projects page. I also added a mo-blog sidebar. See life through my cell phone. Cool, huh?

Anyway, there are still a few items still in need of polishing, but welcome. Email or comment to report bugs or… comments.

Since they hardly went used anyway, I suspect nobody will miss ‘em.

If it seems to work, I may return commenting back to its glorious open days. (Although I receive more comments via the LJ syndication now though…)
