Pretty cool article on how to get your home office more energy efficient. I'm going to try it out.

Anyone know where you can get a "Kill A Watt" meter in Calgary?

If I can get my hands on one of those "Kill A Watt" meters I'm also going to measure how much energy my Shaw PVR uses. It seems like that thing is a energy pig. I used to unplug it when I wasn't using it but that was causing problems like losing my channels and PVR ability.

I really wish Shaw PVR's had a sleep mode or something instead of spinning the disk and cranking out a lot of heat all day.

The Bell HD PVR 9200 isn't any better...

my old CRT monitor uses most of my power I'd bet. I'll swap it out for a flat screen.
