Make an effort to unplug all your devices when not in use/ www.sustainable.co.za/blog/2014/08/energy-saving-tips/
August 28, 2011
Well, after the advance warning/hype/worry that felt endless, Sunday brought Hurricane Irene to Central NJ for real. We lost power sometime after 2am on Sunday and it was out the whole day. I didn't really see any crazy rain, although the winds seemed to increase mightily as the day went on. But our bright apartment showed its worth; Dan read all day, and I did a LOT of crafts before reading myself. Our new laptop's crazy battery life meant that we could watch a movie once it got too dark to read or craft, and all in all? The power outage was really kind of enjoyable. And the fact that our new place has a gas stovetop meant that we got to eat pasta for dinner. You know, to go with all of that beer we drank, because we surely couldn't let it go skunky.
MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan -- 1st Lieutenant Reid Touchberry, 35 Civil Engineer Squadron, explains how Misawa Air Base is nearing the maximum allotted energy amount for the base on March 19 and he explains that if the base goes over the cap,hundreds or thousands of local community residents will lose power because we took it from them. Lt. Touchberry stresses the importance of conserving as much power as we can, to help with the conservation efforts he has established the Rolling Blackout Augmentee Team. The RBAT go throughout the entire base and unplug unnecessary items like vending machines, coffee pots, fax machines, and more to save power on base. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

The time: 2:00 PM December 1st. The place: Hwy 12 between Napa and Fairfield. I'm driving along happily minding my own business when I notice smoke coming out of the cigarette lighter where I plug in my iPod adapter. I immediately unplug the adapter but smoke continues to come out. The button next to the lighter is also smoking and melts away. Now I can see actual flames behind the lower dash. I'm swatting ineffectually at the smoke and flames while driving on the busy road. There is no place to pull over. It went from "I need to put this out" to "I need to bail out" in about as long a time as it takes you to read this. As flames begin licking up the dash and melting everything I finally spot a place to pull over. I hastily pull into someone's driveway. The dash is now engulfed in flames. The car is going to melt down to the tires if I don't do something so I did the classic thing: I began waving my arms to flag down some help. As I'm calling 911 on my cell I look up and here comes a truck driver running up with a fire extinguisher and he puts out the fire for me. Thanks dude! The Cordelia FD and the Highway Patrol arrive a few minutes later. I'm okay but my car is fucked.
I got home that night and did some research. Turns out there's a recall on the iPod adapter I was using due to fire danger from a faulty washer. I was not notified of any recall on the item. Because I was not injured I do not have the standing to file a product liability lawsuit. The way this works is that Allstate pays me off for my losses on the car and then turns around and goes after Belkin to recoup. I am working closely with my insurance agent to see that she takes a chunk out of Belkin's hide. See the attached pictures. The last picture is a closeup of the faulty washer. Notice the burn and scorch marks. And that's my story!

My first Miles Davis CD republished in 1997. Get this CD mainly for my favourite track "So What".
Found that there is an "Alternate Take" recording (track #6) for the song "Flamenco Sketches" (track #5) (Miles Davis, pianist Bill Evans and others). According to the "Kind of Blue" album introduction, all music artists didn't play the sketched (draft) music notes before the recording day, they refined the "sketches" at the studio and then started recording. Rotated instruments at some sections at each "take". So all takes having a similar structure but different in detail. I played these two tracks on my computer at the same time (I should play them at two stereo systems on my left and right) and found that they have significant variations in transitions, loudness, and length of some sections. Like live jazz players extend the notes or jam in in a different timing to make each play unique.
Recalled my "Chris Botti in Boston" CD also including this song in a live performance, there are new arrangements for the piano, sax, drum, electronic guitar, and bass, and of course with digital recording and mastering that made the Chris Botti's version a massive jazz jam sounds glamour.
Back to the original "Flamenco Sketches" recorded in 1959, performed with the same kind of music instruments but sounds like an "unplug version" in contemporary terms. This 56 years old masterpiece was arranged like today's music, this is one of Miles Davis' timeless pieces base on his "Group Improvisation" concept.
BTW, this CD is the second best remastered copy of all "Kind of Blue" copies next to the gold Mastersound edition. All previous LPs and CDs were reproduced from slightly faster master tunes. So songs on this CD are true-to-life and right on keys. Louder and richer in tones.

I've taken my 360 to the next level.
So for the past couple of months I have been watching videos off my computer on my Xbox 360. This was wonderful and all but it came at a price. The 360 only supports Mpeg-2 and WMV files for some sick reason so I had to jump through many hoops to turn an .avi file into a WMV file. First I had to use a program to encode the avi into an mpeg because the other program I was using couldn't perform the task of encoding avi directly to wmv. So once I had my mpeg (a process that took almost 2 hours) I could start encoding that into a wmv using Sorenson Squeeze. Not only did this step take an ungodly amount of time (at least 9 hours) but it strained my aging computer to where I couldn't perform any other tasks on it besides that one without it lurching to a near dead-stop and produced files of over 1.5 gb in size for each step. Because this took so long and took up so much space, I was juggling the processes on mine and Shelby's computers. However, because Squeeze uses the same cd-key (ahem) it wouldn't allow the two programs to run at the same time on my network. So because of that, I had to unplug Shelby's computer from the router thus cutting her off the internet for hours at a time. This severely limited my opportunities to perform the encoding process.
And to kick a guy while he's down, for some unknown reason after I would transcode the avi to a mpeg, the audio became out of sync. This occurred on both computers and I never did understand why. I even uninstalled and reinstalled codecs, drivers, programs, and files but to no avail.
Once this began, I decided to scrap the whole thing and graduate to something better.
I got XP Media Center.
However, like everything else in our stupid lives, we have to work for sweet things. Installing Media Center meant a fresh install of XP and a clean wipe of my hard drive. I, um, borrowed a friend’s copy of Media Center but had to burn it onto a DVD. Now I'm a bit behind the times so I'm new to the whole DVD burning thing. I got some DVD-Rs and looked forward to the future. But wait, I needed DVD+Rs to burn this OS. Son of a.... So that delayed me a bit as I had to get some new discs but once that was done with I had to move all my files off of my computer. I've accumulated a lot shit it seems over the past few months so this took quite a while as I had to rearrange and juggle in order to get it all onto Shelby's computer and her laptop.
Time to begin installing! Almost there!
No, wait, my DVD-ROM drive is a POS and doesn't work anymore. Of course. Time to cannibalize Shelby's computer! So I have to open up her tower and yank out her drive and put it in mine. I unfortunately bought her the most awkward computer desk imaginable so all the cords running to the back of her tower are already stretched tight and the computer won't move an inch out of its enclosure. So I have to basically hang upside down and use an extraordinarily large amount of energy and muscle to unplug each cord.
Now to install! Oh, it fails and freezes up a few times for reasons unknown to me. Now it's about 3:30 in the morning so start it off one more time and go to bed. Wake up in the morning to find that it actually worked while I wasn't watching it! Huzzah!
Now I had to put Shelby's drive back in her computer after which I did the stupid thing of having too much confidence in my technical abilities so I attach everything and place it back in it's awkward cubby without testing it. The computer won't boot. It gets stuck on "Checking NVRAM..." Oh god, I've seen that before too many times. Do not tell me I fried her motherboard somehow.
My punishment for over-confidence is to hang upside down again and battle with the computer desk from hell.
Turns out I didn't push the IDE cable in far enough. Grr.
That was the worst of it though. Aside from Media Center taking at least an hour to add all my media to it's library, things start going smoother.
I download Transcode360, a third-party program that streams Divx and Xvid videos to the 360 and encodes on the fly. My god. It's awesome. I've only tested the start of Deadwood (pictured, obviously) but it works like a fucking dream. All I do is find the video on my Xbox, select it and choose "transcode" from the options. Bam. I'm watching it. And it even looks better than the files I was converting multiple times over. I would even call it DVD quality. And no out of sync dialog. YES!
I haven't even checked out it's functionality with pictures and music.
So all my problems are solved and I now have access to anything my heart desires. My life is streamlined, my hair's growing back, and I think I'm on the verge of curing cancer. All thanks to my 360, Media Center, and Transcode360. Life is good.
Did you read all that? No? Good, because you'd be a weirdo if you did. I just wanted to vent.
A fantastic portable, rechargable solar lamp from the good people at pollinateenergy.org
The light is warm and extremely bright. After a day of charging I unplug it from the solar panel, and can use it as a desk lamp anywhere on the boat. At it's highest setting, one day's charge will last 6 hours...since buying it I have been able to stitch, write, read or paint well into the night. I used to have to stop doing finer work, because the reguar solar lights installed in the ceiling of my boat were bluish and not bright enough to do detailed work.
Even better, buying one Sunking Pro light makes 5 lights available to families living in the slums of India, so that kids don't have to study, and parents work at their livelihoods, in the poor, smelly, toxic light of a kerosene lamp.
Step 3: Once the cowling is removed, proceed to unplug the wiper motor connector from the harness. {The screwdriver is just for pointing here. Squeeze the release on the white part of the connector to free the joint}

I like this coffee shop because they don't have wifi, power outlet or cell phone reception if you sit in the back. You can unplug yourself from the interwebz and phone calls, just listen to music, read some books, or pick some photos to enlarge after sipping a good coffee.

(Al Metrabbi X Anchor Hill Hanya). I took this picture of this beautiful colt back in late 1984 or early 1985. We were considering buying him, but then decided to get his mother, Hanya, instead. We never regretted that decision for a moment, although, Aran was quite a gorgeous colt.
We had torrential rains overnight, and the News people tell us we got 18 inches. There is flooding everywhere. When I turned the computer on this morning, my screen looked like it had been submerged in water, everything was foggy. It finally cleared up, but then the monitor began "snapping" and what appeared to be strikes of lightening appeared down the middle of the screen. Yikes!!! I shut down immediately, and then used a space heater on the monitor in hopes of drying things off. It seems to have worked, but I think I'll just do what is necessary here on the computer, and then unplug it until all the rain and humidity go away, which may be a couple or more days. We have 80% chance of rain both today and tomorrow, with lower percentages predicted for the next few days after that. Everything in our house feels downright soggy, and if the sky is any indication, then more rain will be here soon. See y'all in a few days...I hope!!!

I have found a good solution to recharging my Dana. When it needs recharging I take it in its AlphaSmart Neoprene case in the shopping bag that I carry my things upstairs in and then unzip the neoprene case and plug the adaptor in and leave it overnight to recharge then all I have to do in the morning is unplug the adaptor and zip up the case.
Unplug the pot, fluff the rice with a fork, and close the lid. Let
the rice sit for awhile before serving, to steam and soften some more.
Kinda sad, last day in my office at my old job, time to unplug my Model M keyboard and clean out the rest of my desk.
Antmusic is a song by English rock band Adam and the Ants, released as the third single in the UK in 1980 from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier (released 3 November 1980).
Antmusic peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine" after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980. In Australia, the single spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Kent Music Report and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000 copies. It also reached No. 2 in South Africa, No. 4 in Ireland, and No. 6 in New Zealand. In the North America, the song reached No. 14 on the US Rock Albums & Top Tracks chart, as well as number 19 on the National Disco Action Top 30 chart (alongside Dog Eat Dog and Kings of the Wild Frontier), but it did not find success in Canada.
The music video to Antmusic featured the group playing in a discothèque with a giant juke box, and persuading the young audience to turn away from disco music and dance to the new-styled 'Antmusic'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antmusic

Unplug - balance - reconnect. Unter diesem Motto stand die erste "Reconnect" - realisiert von Offtime und simyo. Die Besucher der re:publica 14 konnten sich zu unserer hypervernetzten Welt austauschen, über die Vorteile vom gelegentlichem Abschalten sprechen, und uns und der Netzcommunity ihre Gedanken zum Thema on/off-line mitteilen. Diese hielten zwei Tage lang life in einem graphical recording fest!

This is what happened when I loaded the AppleTV OS onto a partition on my Mac mini.
Here's what I had to do to get this:
1) hold down option for the bootloader
2) pick the "OSBoot" partition
3) hold apple-v to induce verbose mode
4) while the EFI is loading (the driver loading screen ), unplug the keyboard
5) wait, and watch.
I think there's some more work to be done.
The writing, sharing, critical friend process wouldn't have worked if Unplug'd participants weren't solid collaborators. Although each participant could lead, they also recognized when to listen and when to talk, when to question and when to support.
It took a couple days for me to unplug myself from a busy work schedule so I could simply kick back and enjoy my holiday. But the beer from Brooklyn Brewery help build that bridge that took me quickly from work-mode to vacation-mode.
And today I start my struggle to get back to work-mode. It was fun while it lasted. :)
