why didn’t i think of this sooner

Here’s my idea, after reading a whole lot of stuff:

Run the computer (and ancillary equipment) that “runs” sammich.org off renewable power.

Cable modamn, analytical computing engine, VOIP bawx and routatron all off solar/wind power. Folks, I am full of ideas and I think this one is particularly good. Not just to help do my part blah blah blah but that this should act as a big fat UPS for the entire system.

I’m even thinking of a bicycle-powered charger for the wan light during the upcoming winter months, which should certainly help me stay in better shape.

First and foremost, I’ve really got to figure out how much power I truly need. For this, I tip my hat to a certain Brooklyn ninja and his tip about the Kill-A-Watt meter and my trusty Fluke 76 MkII True RMS multimeter.

I really need to put together a plan. I like plans, especially the ones that take the form of a list.
