If anyone gets a subscription to APC Magazine, check the January 2010 issue on page 67. You will see a familiar (and might I say very attractive) face, and a full page article featuring me and my computer :)

I’ve won this month’s APC Master Builder competition (http://apcmag.com/masterbuilder.htm) for putting together my media center PC. I believe I win a Intel Core i5 CPU for being published, and something further for winning this round. Apparently I now get given a “special challenge” and if picked as a finalist travel to Sydney to build a PC on the spot… taking it home if I win (OK, not bloody likely, but anyhow).

To the issue of the planet, and its future.

We are aware of, to some degree, the effects and impacts that our civilization, and mere presence, has on the planet itself, and the ecological balance. The delicate balance between the life of the planet, and the breath of the planet, the atmosphere.
Right now the world is focused on this balance between us, the ecology, and the atmosphere. As it is, they are planning to continue things much as they have been, but to begin to collect funds to use to, progressively shift our industrial bases towards a cleaner and more sustainable output. Continue on doing what were doing basically, with the impact that we are making, while showing a token effort to address and solve the problem.

As I see it, we have “three” main courses of action which we must all undertake together in order to bring about its successful resolution.

Global warming. It’s a killer.
