Solar Bikini to save from expanded energy bill after DST
This weekend the clocks “spring forward.” The Wall Street Journal has brought to light a study based in Indiana that challenges the very idea of DST. Switching to DST costs Indiana households an additional $8.6 million in electricity.
I accidentally left my lights on last night after DST yesterday. It was still dark out when I awoke, and I could see the glow through the window. I went outside to turn them off right away, and since we only have a medium size tree wrapped in lights, I don’t think it used enough energy to make a noticeable difference in our utility bill.
But one thing I did notice was that several other houses on our block still had their lights on. When I thought about it, I realized those same lights were on every morning for the past couple weeks. They have a larger light display than we do, and I am sure they will have a noticeable change in their electric bill next month.
That got me thinking… Why do people leave the lights on throughout the night? It doesn’t make sense to me to leave them on after a certain point because almost everyone is asleep and there will not be anyone around to enjoy them. I think leaving the lights on all night needlessly uses a large amount of electricity and costs people a lot of money.
I don’t think the electric companies mind, but is it the responsible thing to do?
I normally turn our lights off right before bed. Do you leave your lights on at night? If so, why?
How to share and post Excel files on your Blog
If you are looking for a way to collaborate on a MS Excel file with a friend or colleague, take a look at Google Docs. It allows you to upload and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations online without need to have MS Office or Openoffice installed on your PC.
After uploading your documents, you can in vite others to work on the uploaded document.This certainly beats emailing whole Excel files back and forth and trying to keep track on the latest revisions.
To begin, you need to get a gmail account if you don’t have one yet. After logging in, click on Documents, then Upload. Once you’ve uploaded your Excel file, click the file to open it.
On the right side on the open document will be 3 tabs. Click on the middle one that says Share. Then, simply enter the email addresses of the persons you want to collaborate with and click ‘Invite Collaborators’.
How to Track Google Links to your Blog
You know how Google always displayed fewer links to your site than say Yahoo or MSN?
Well they are now giving us better information but not on the regular search pages for queries like link:mydomain.com.
Now if you want to take a look at how many links Google sees (I don't think they still show us 100% of inbound links) all you need to do is follows
1. Setup a Google Webmaster account
2. Verify the website
3. Wait a few days and viola, you get a list of links that Google sees.
Very cool.
