Why I love and hate the “Wattson”

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

The Wattson is a design object from DIY Kyoto. It provides a visual indication of the current level of electrical usage in your house and how it compares to your average.

There are a bunch of things that I love about the Wattson. I love the design object, it’s beautiful, as you might expect from a […]

The Geek affinity with Green

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

This week I’m going to two Green events, a networking party run by AMEE and GeeKyoto. Given that I am such a treehugging (carbon neutral), duck-squeezing (vegan), person I’ve been wondering what it is that makes some geeks care so much about green.
My simple conclusion is that geeks feel like they are empowered to make […]

Our Energy is Now Green Energy

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

So Rosemarie and I have finally switched over to green power. Yay! The companies we are using are Good Energy for the Electricity and Utilita for gas.
I like Good Energy especially, they don’t supply gas, everything they do is 100% renewable. It was surprisingly cheap and should save us a little bit from British Gas. […]

Primark; Yikes!

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

We went shopping in a Primark today, not an experience I’ve had before. It was packed. At least that’s what I thought. I overheard two of the shop assistants talking, apparently said the more experienced of the two, this was a quiet day. It’s kinda unsuprising after the Primark Riot.
While Rosemarie and I rarely splurge […]

Green housing; Just gorgeous

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

Via the (sometimes tedious) magic of Stumble upon I found Moabi and Family’s eco-home.
They used traditional methods with some modern materials to create a stunning space. The building is ecologically sound and fits into the environment. While I can’t have anything like this living in London, it’s definitely something to think about the future.

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Why oh why does Camden council not have something better? This thing is on 24 7 365. I spit on their wastage.
