Writes a friend:

The warmers are holding “earth hour” today.  I’ll be commemorating it by turning on every non-green light-bulb (which is the only sort I have)  inside and outside my house, from 8:30 to 9:30 PM CDT.  In addition, I’ll run the washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Oh, and I’ll idle my SUV for good measure, with the headlights blazing.

UPDATE from Chris Ciancio

Last night during the “Earth Hour” fantasies, the apartment I was in for a World of Warcraft party had an oven, coffee maker, A/C, microwave, 42″ TV, 4 laptops, 1 server, 1 router, 1 modem, 6 lamps, 1 PC, 1 LCD screen, and 1 Mac mini running. The sun still rose this morning.
