Last night was Earth Hour, where you are supposed to sit in the dark for an hour between 8 and 9pm.
We were sitting in our living room and decided to participate. We surfed the internet with our battery-powered laptops in the dark.
We'd never really sat in the dark in this house before (downstairs -- we of course sleep in the dark). It was strange. Thinking about sitting in this old old house, where generations of people had sat in the dark before the days of electricity, and sharing in that, but at the same time, browsing the Internet on laptops, bathed in the light of the LCD backlights.
Kindof neat. :-)
In Other News, I got an award at work: Stars@Emergis, a peer recognition award, you get nominated, you get a certificate and various prizes. I was honored and very pleased. :-)

Mr. Shawn,
Congrats for sitting in an old farmhouse in the dark, and kudos to you on your award. It means a lot to be recognized for a job well done.
It means even more when it comes from your peers and is not some meaningless "admin has read a management book" thing.
Excellent!
Jayne
