Who-de-lally! My previously defunct site is now operational! w00t and stuff.

Actually, it’s the same layout just new colors and background. I’ve been clicking around TreeHugger a lot lately and I found an article that talked about how much energy is wasted on computer screens. I learned about Black Google, which is just the search engine, Google, with a black background instead of white. I also learned about a way to make my own blog more energy efficient by switching to a color pallette that saves energy by requiring a lower wattage from your computer screen.

I’ve been playing around with different backgrounds, but I keep coming back to this black with gray stripes that I’m currently using. I made it after observing the BG image used on The Fabulist, which has a great design that I love. I made my own “simple, but not” BG which I’ve now used for my myspace and twitter pages. As it turns out it’s pretty energy efficient as well… at least I hope so.

There’s more to life than love and bein’ together

Is there? Tegan and Sara think there’s more. (been listening to a lot of Tegan and Sara lately)

I think the purpose of life is love. The whole point is to find people to love and be with them and then…die. Everything else is just filler. Yeah you might set off in the world with a greater purpose like finding a cure for HIV and AIDS. Or maybe finding an infinitely renewable energy source. Okay, I guess technically speaking there’s more to life than love and being together.

Am I a hopeless romantic for thinking the purpose of life is to love? Maybe I’m just sad. Have I got it all wrong? How could love be wrong? I mean, there’s definitely a line between sharing your perpetual fountain of boundless love with everyone and just being so desperate for love that you’ll take whatever comes. Really good love though, the kind that shows up unexpectedly when you need it, the kind that is there even if you don’t want it and will be there until you decide you do, the kind that changes your life, is what makes life worth living, what else could it be?

I guess I’ve always been a dreamer, even when I pretend I’m not.

I’m working from home this morning because there is a plumbing problem at my house and I have to stay here for the plumber.

So I always think that working from home is the best idea ever. It probably is, but just not for me. I don’t have access to information I need because it is all on the servers at work. This means I can answer e-mails but the answers I have will probably not be helpful since I don’t have the proper info to answer the questions.

In a way, this sucks. In another way, this is totally awesome. Not only do I get to sit on my bed and “work” but I’m also only needed when something is horribly, horribly wrong. I can put out fires from the comfort of my own room. Everything else can be handled by my team. Today this is not such a big deal because there isn’t really much to be done, however, on a busy day I can see this situation totally sucking for everyone that is in the office. Not only would they have to do their own stuff but mine as well.
