Wall-E and $100. 12 of 20.

[TomFulp]

Today's $100 winner is AshtonNextGen! We're giving away $100 per day from now until I leave for Comic-Con on July 20th. To participate in the raffle, all you need to do is vote on five submissions while logged in. Every day I run a raffle script based on activity from the previous day, and a winner is declared!

I saw Wall-E last night and it was really great. In honor of this cautionary tale, everyone should go read all the articles on EcoGeek. It's a fun website that I browse on a regular basis and it consistently highlights cool new technologies before I see them anywhere else.

Also check out these upcoming solar panel windows from MIT! I heard how the upcoming Prius was gonna have a solar panel on the roof and Tim complained that he wouldn't want to give up his sun roof... Eventually we could have the best of both!

On the topic of feel good do-goodery, if you want to be a better person than your friends, you can adopt a Kona bike. These bikes are donated to health care workers in Africa to aid in the delivery of ARC drugs to HID/AIDS patients. I thought there was a way you could buy your own Kona bike (with proceeds going towards bike donation), but I don't see a place to do that. But I thought I'd throw it out there.

That's all I got today.

Another BBS regular to win the awards, cool.

Also, damn you Americans, bragging about Wall-E. I have to restrain myself from watching a shitty camrip until it comes out over here.

Surely the solar panel windows would absorb a lot more light energy though?

Congrats to winner.

[PolishMatt]

Great... the winner is some emo kid.

[Ghost1124]

I totally agree with you tom, wall-e was great.

[Sk8erGirl14]

Congrats AshtonNextGen, you hottie.

[Luis]

Hmm cool...I'm tempted to adopt a bike and send them an angry faic sticker to put on the bike... the contradiction of a guy riding around doing charity with an angry faic bike seems humorous enough to expense.

'Along with your check, you can include a small sticker from your favorite bike shop and we will paste it on to the bike. '

You should do this $100 wins more often.

Pixar's animation quality and storytelling is about seven notches above any competing studio.

I still haven't seen that movie... I haven't gone out to the movie in ages... bah, I love Pixar, I'm a failure :(

That's a cool site, and for a good cause as well :)

Tim's solar panel would be covered in mud all the time and probably wouldn't work... I was just talking about solar panels on housing last week, it's really the way to go. I hate how our nation won't let us just, switch over... everything has to be forced. Have you seen that documentary on "Who Killed the Electric Car"? Man, watching that thing sure got me angry :X

mmhmm, bikes, got it.

That's all I got today.

I told Wade to IM you to put a plug to yesterday's topic so that the ideas would keep coming in *cough cough* seeing as how once you make a new thread, the old news posts really slow down. I was really liking all the poster ideas that were coming in :/ If you can edit posts, I think you should consider it ;3
