Wait to check this out this site until you're really bored. It's amusing, but only until the audio starts to drive you bonkers.

Afterwards, you may find the silence on this site to be a welcome change. And instead of destroying things, you can let your creative self express itself.

I'm mostly pretty much of a skeptic when it comes to things like Earth Hour and Earth Day. One-off events like these let people pretend that they're responsible, for minimum effort. But there's an initiative that I've come across related to this year's Earth Day that I think is kind of cool, and it attempts to raise the public's awareness and goad politicians into doing more without being self-indulgent.

Willl it take you as long to figure this out as it did me? Quite enjoyable once you get the hang of it.

Let’s pick this story up as I leave the Chapters book store on Wellington Road S. I head over to the transit shelter to wait for the Wellington northbound and arrive there at 9:45 p.m.

There’s a bench in this shelter, which isn’t often the case, but it’s too cold to sit on. Standing wasn’t too much of a problem for the first 20 minutes, but then it started to rapidly take it’s toll on my bum knee. And I’d had to start shuffling to stay warm by this time, which didn’t help matters a lot.

The Chelsea Green/Glen Cairn area is home to social housing, new immigrants, etc. and too much of a problem of youth who don't have any resources to help keep them from making unhealthy life choices. Our community association is interested in the possibility of providing at least a couple of programs that might be of interest to them. The first one would provide the opportunity for them to learn how to cannibalize old, donated computers for workable parts and build working computers from that material, install/run Linux (because it's FREE), etc.

Notwithstanding the considerable respect that I have for Jay Stanford, I was seriously disappointed by what he had to say to ETC this week with respect to plastic bags and other materials that are being excluded.

Are you a London, Ontario blogger? podcaster? Ever want to learn how?

Anything that I try to say here will simply pale in comparison to what you discover when you check out the Greenpeace simulation of what a sustainable city might look like. Check it out HERE .

I had to be up bright and early this morning. Another Governance Task Force meeting to get to by bus, so I set my alarm and was lucky enough to hear it when it started to serenade me at 7:00 am. A quick shower and out the door so I could hoof it several blocks over to the Pond Mills SuperCuts. Usually I just buzz it myself (those of us on disability incomes could teach the city a thing or two about frugality), but I didn't want to address the GTF looking like I'd just joined the Marines.

I’m tired. And I’m cold. Oh boy, am I cold. But it’s important to me that I get this out while I can still remember it. So, I’ll do that as best I can, and I’ll ask that you indulge me while I try to tell you this story. It’s going to be fairly long-winded I think, so you may want to grab some milk & cookies first… that’s always pretty good at bedtime…

<!--break--> Monday evening was Committee night down at City Hall. It was an unusually attractive night to be there, with lots of things being addressed which interest me. True, they were all going on in different rooms at the same time. And true, the proceedings were so hard to hear that sometimes I had to strain through my trifocals and try to lipread what was being said. And true, the noise at the back of the room and the noise coming from outside in the hall made the job of trying to follow along just a little bit more difficult. But that’s nothing new, and nobody’s in a hurry to fix it, so you learn to tolerate it.
