Drunk Driving on a Bar Stool...Oh yeah!!

NEWARK, Ohio - Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool.


Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.
Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries.
Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers.
Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.
Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.

Go Green Tip for you...

This is crazy... Please turn off your computers!!


Admittedly I don't think much about it at all. I leave my laptop running overnight because I know it'll take five minutes or more to get things going in the morning -- not just booting up, but launching the various apps I start the day with, downloading my overnight email, filtering out the spam, and otherwise "getting settled."
But all the power wasted while computers are sitting idle overnight adds up, and one study has finally tried to measure it. The tally: An estimated $2.8 billion wasted on excess energy costs each year in the U.S. alone.
On a CO2 basis, that's 20 million tons of carbon dioxide, about the amount produced by 4 million cars on the road.
The full report is available for download here (scroll down to "PC Energy Report US 2009").
But big numbers like that become almost meaningless in an era of trillion-dollar bailouts, so to put the wasted energy in perspective, the study provides the data in terms you can better understand: If you run a company with 1,000 PCs left on overnight, you can save about $28,000 a year if they are turned off after hours. That's not chump change.
Of course, it's also a fact that your PC will function better if you restart it regularly, and nightly shutdowns can help you avoid having to suddenly reboot in the middle of the day when you'd otherwise be productive. So even though this little laptop, by my math, eats up only about a quarter's worth of power overnight, maybe it's a smart idea -- and ultimately a time-saver, too -- to shut it down after hours after all.

NV State Insect VOTE HERE!!

We here in the great state of Nevada do not have a state insect but that is about to change possibly thanks to a 4th grade class from Beatty Elementary in Las Vegas. They are putting together a proposal to send to the state legislature to make the Vivid Dancer Damselfly to be our state insect...it's a cool little bug BUT we thought it might be cool to nominate one of our own...Sammy The Spider from between the two panes of bullet-proof glass in our studio...although Sammy is dead and has been for quite some time...we would like to nominate one of his ancestors in his name and in his honor. So you...yes you have the opportunity to exercise your right as an american and vote and make a difference. Leave us a comment and VOTE NOW!! and God Bless Nevada!!
