ask my electric company to switch to renewable energy

Wind power 12 months ago

It only cost a couple extra bucks a month. It’s totally worth it! I’m now running 120% of my bill as renewable (100% of my bill + I give a little extra so 20% of another person’s bill is renewable).

I’m glad Portland General Electric gives their customers say on how they generate electricity.

Meditate more often

Sit with others and the rest will follow 12 months ago

I joined a group of Mediators (the Inter Dependence project). This should get me on a regular schedule.

build an HTPC (read all 2 entries…)

Vista Media Center. 12 months ago

Finally finished my HTPC. I decided to not go the Linux route simply because I wanted the best hardware now which isn’t supported yet. Hopefully later I will switch to Linux. I’m using Vista Home, which is surprisingly better than I expected (especially with the bad press).

I highly recommend the Antec Fusion case. I’m extremely pleased with it. Great layout, very very quiet.

I’ve had two strange problems with Vista Media Center PVR:
1) for 2 days it was recording video without the sound. I rebooted the computer and it worked again
2) Some movies on some stations must have digital rights management because the screen gets blurred out on playback.
