• Nov 9 2008 - What you are reading is consuming energy ... Consumption is one of those things that is on my mind a lot. Both economically as I aim to live debt free and with as little "stuff" as really needed as well as in other forms of energy. Buy local, buy less packaging, drive less, eat less! It goes on and on. One of the really interesting things with looking at google appengine is their metering and logging of your application.
• Jun 6 2008 - Power Consumption ... I’m a graphing junkie, I have to admit it. So I was pretty pleased to discover that my power company (BC Hydro ) provides some interesting consumption graphs for month to month kilowatts per hour usage. I’m pretty sure my meter is only read every two months so some of the resolution is lost in this, but still it’s helpful. One of the more striking trends I’ve seen in the data has been the birth of my daughter.
