Turn on the earth!
I thought it would never happen. The French government finally plans to issue a decree which will force shops, hospitals and offices to switch off window display lights and interior lights between 1AM and 6AM. A rough 170 million euros a year will be saved. But most of all, tons of energy won't be wasted! Read article…

This weekend I met someone who was very much into adult videos/photos. He seriously suggested me to become an adult website designer, because there is a huge demand for talented designers.

Sunny Island
