Earth Hour is almost upon us! On Saturday, March 29, at 8 p.m. people
around the world will be joining together to turn out their lights for
Earth Hour, taking a stand against climate change.

If you are looking for something to do during Earth Hour, there will be a
free event taking place at Downsview Park from 7:30pm - 9pm tomorrow,
including glowstick soccer, a drum circle and meditation:

In related news, we are pleased to announce that partial proceeds from
Yuri's Night will be donated to WWF-Canada!
Space exploration, especially lunar exploration, may hold the key to
solving Earth's energy crisis. By mining helium-3, which is abundant in
the Moon's regolith, we may be able to power clean fusion reactors.
Alternatively, using the Moon's vast silicon resources, it may be possible
to construct massive solar panels that orbit our planet, powering cities
wirelessly from space.
However, we cannot rely on the Moon to reduce our energy consumption at
home, so it is up to each and every one of us to reduce our footprint,
starting now.

In other news, Yuri's Night tickets are selling like hotcakes! After all
the $20 tickets are sold, tickets will be $30.

Where to begin? Where does it end?
Most of you (the two out of the three people that read this) are probably wondering why I haven't posted anything in quite some time. The simple fact of it all is that I've been busy...and rather lazy. So let's do the quick update here and see what happens, shall we?
- I've moved, so although I'm still in a city I'm no longer living in that massive waste called Toronto.
- My job ended at the start of January, so I'm no longer even travelling to Toronto for any reason what so ever.
- I'm a stay at home dad. I know it doesn't sound like much work, but believe me, a three year old can keep you pretty busy along with keeping up with some of the housework.
- I purchased a house near the end of last year, and I'm in the process of fixing it up.
That's about it for the quick run down of the major items. On the flip side some changes are going to be made to this site, additions, subtractions, multiplications, and possibly some divisions. I'll try to keep up with everything.
For the first change I've added a little section near the bottom of the page to let you know what's going on in other areas of the site.
Sally forth!
