Chicago people, you can create an account at http://www.exeloncorp.com and view your energy usage for the past two years! I’m putting mine in an excel document so I can have records even beyond that!

Wow! What a range! I can’t believe that this past february was my WORST month in the past two years. But this April was my fifth best month! Oooooh I know. I used those space heaters in february. Wow.
I need to get my power strips by my computer more accessible. There’s multiple items like two external drives, an external cd burner, and printer that are always on (cuz their switches aren’t really accessible). It would be nice to turn those suckers off with one click of the switch on the power strip.
