xhm — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:03:48 -0500

Take the stairs instead of the elevator. It's the calorie-burning way to avoid awkward silences (or worse, accidental groping), children who press the buttons for all the floors, Muzak, and unnecessary energy use.

The Benefits
Buns of steel. No surprises here: Climbing stairs burns up to ten times more calories than standing in an elevator.
Step-by-step conservation. Depending on type, capacity and usage, an elevator's yearly energy use can equal that of seven homes.

a new way of listening to the radio!!

xhm — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:01:51 -0500

Radio serves as a powerful discovery engine for new music. However, the medium today is one-way. That's about to change thanks to sophisticated mobile devices.

T. Boone Pickens flew into Sweetwater, Texas, on his Gulfstream G550

How many barrels of oil is your life worth?

xhm — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:54:46 -0500
