Move over all you hippies, David Leeds is actually doing something about the problem by promoting an understanding and implementation of Smart Grid technology.
This is a picture series of the Illuminato X Machina, the first creation of the Santa Fe Project to explore alternate computer architectures - including ones that are massively parallel, robust, adaptive, and sensing. This is a new set of hardware that is programmable through the Antipasto Arduino Branch IDE. I will be blogging over the next few months about projects and hacks using the boards over at antipasto.blogspot.org.

This is my safety pic for today. I found a few locations yesterday that I wanted to get in lower light so I went back this evening but none of my pics turned out. I'm not happy about that.
I took my car in for regular maintenance today and I found out I was due for a new cabin air filter and engine air filter. Since I can replace both of those myself, I opted to just buy the parts and that saved me about $65. Granted, that's not a lot of money, but it helps, and considering they are telling me it's time for new tires, I'll take any break I can get. Oh, and the dealership price for new tires is $30/tire more than the most expensive price I can find anywhere else. Can anyone justify that, because I can't? Don't get me wrong, I'm not silly enough to go with them, but I'm just astounded every time I get prices from a dealership. But back to the picture; I didn't have to open up the fusebox to do my work this evening but it's right next to the air filter and it seemed that taking off the cover gave me just a smidge more room to work with. When I opened it up, I realized how colorful the fuses are, and that's how I ended up here. I actually set out to document the process of replacing both filters, so I can remember how to do it next time and also as a nice little Flickr project. Unfortunately, while I got the pics, the install, together with my other attempts at pics for today took so long that I ran out of time...maybe in a few days.
