About me:

I'm a 22 year old working my way through college.  I love researching how things work online and being able to help others understand them as well.  I'm obsessed with saving energy and love showing others how to do the same.

Solar is my hobby and passion.  To me, there's nothing more beautiful than seeing row upon row of photovoltaic panels lined up facing the sun, silently producing clean energy.  I do have my own small system set up producing 45 watts per hour of full sun.  It may not be much, but its enough to charge and run my laptops several times as well as keep my cell phone topped up.  It also provides most of the power for my lighting in the evening.

Another one of my passions is working with older computers, PC or Mac.  There's just something about seeing older technology working in action and its always surprising to see what you can do with 10+ year old "junk."  Whenever I'm bored or looking for inspiration for my next hardware aquisition, I often peruse Low End Mac, reading stories of people making their old Macs useful again, while the blogosphere is a-buzz about the latest reincarnation of the MacBook Pro line.  Remember, your old computer is still useful, so long as it isn't being burned and stripped for its precious metals in a foreign country!
