The new reality of server co-location is that electricity is the tightest commodity going. More precious than bandwidth or floorspace.

Politicians: Protecting us from Nightmares?

Filed under: Rants — Rick @ 8:20 am

Greg Maldonado, an awesome contact juggler who’s blog I read, posted [this](http://people.tribe.net/gregmaldonado/blog/9854bb3e-1e1b-425d-9be4-739ea316244c) reference to a BBC story about the changing face of politics.

Pzizz

Filed under: Geek Out! — Rick @ 1:36 pm

Found this application while poking around the net…


Developed by Xeric Design on behalf of Brainwave, pzizz is a remarkable new application that combines several proven techniques to give you the most refreshing and revitalising ‘nap’ possible. We have combined Neurolinguistic Programming with enchanting music, voice, sound effects and a binaural beat to induce a wonderfully relaxed state.

A quick trial that I just did was pretty sweet. I can see this being amazing for those nights you can’t get to sleep or when you just need to unwind for a bit.

Check it out: [Pzizz](http://www.timepalette.com/pzizz.php)
