“Arrr, tis’ another year talkin’ like a pirate Aye, me parrot concurs.”
September 19 is the official Talk like Pirate day, which I have followed for the last couple of years. Tomorrow will be like no other. i’ll be gatherin’ with me mates, listenin’ t’ pirate themed music and ha’in’ fun. I bid everyone a Happy Pirate day ARRRRR!
Fall is slowly coming and I love it. Cool weather at night to crisp fall mornings…..So wanting the leaves to change, so I can take a trip into the mountains to capture video and photos of the leaves. Love this time of year. Work has been crazy for me lately as well and I’ve been working non-stop along with pulling all-nighters. Working on a lot of personal projects to a few freelance projects as well. Love being busy like that though. I’ve started back writing over at my Lockergnome blog and hopefully I will be able to start doing a couple of tech articles every week. I hope to be bringing back my podcast again too. Lot’s going on in my world and I’m grateful for all the great opportunities too.
I’ve been a huge Environmentalist for a long time. It all started when I joined my high school environmental club in my freshman year. Ever since then I’ve been a member of local and national groups as well as taking part in events like Earth Day, and Earth Hour. I’m a huge recycler, carpool or use alt transportation( walk, skate, or bike) when I can, use green products, using CFLs, conserving water and electricity, composting, and many other things as well.
I love the fact that since living in the country we’re near a convenience & recycle center, which allows me to recycle about almost all of our garbage ( paper, glass, cans, plastic,cardboard, etc). Most of all the food ( left overs, peelings, etc. ) goes into our composter than in the garbage can. Plus it reduces the chances of never having a smelly garbage can again too. I also try to continue on with the idea that Earth Hour is by turning off all electronics,lights, etc. every night for the rest of the evening usually after dinner. I usually tend to use my laptop on battery to work and watch a dvd instead of watching tv. Most think I’m crazy, but I really enjoy working in the dark or using natural light than having to use artificial lighting anyhow.
