Look for BinaryWolf at blogs that joined on the 23rd of August for the upcoming BlogActionDay.
On October 15th – , bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind.
In its inaugural year, Blog Action Day will be co-ordinating bloggers to tackle the issue of the environment.
Bloggers can participate on Blog Action Day by publishing a post on their blog which relates to an issue of their own choice pertaining to the environment. Posts do not need to have any specific agenda, they simply need to relate to the larger issue in whatever way suits the blogger and readership. Our aim is not to promote one particular viewpoint, only to push the issue to the table for discussion.
Regular readers of this blog know that I have a treehugger category. New readers may also want to look at my vehicles category which at first glance may not seem environmentally friendly, but you generally have to read the entire post to see where I am going with it.

iTunes includes a Back Up to Disc option under the File menu. It guides you through the steps needed to your playlists, audio and video files to a CD or DVD for safekeeping, in case your hard drive goes bad and takes your media collection with it.
As an alternative, you can drag copies of your file to an external hard drive or USB flash drive. Once you have your backup drive connected to the computer, you need to find your iTunes files:
Windows XP or 2000 My Documents > My Music > iTunes folder.
Vista Music folder > iTunes.
Mac Home folder > Music > iTunes.
Dragging the entire iTunes folder to your external drive icon makes a copy of your media files, playlists, album artwork folder and library database. If you don’t have room for all that and just want to back up selected albums or songs, open the folder called iTunes Music, which is inside the main iTunes folder. The tracks are sorted into folders by artist name with album folders inside, so find the files you want to back up and drag them to your external drive.
The H3 delivers off-road capability in a more accessible, midsize (one man’s midsize is another man’s large) package. It can navigate city traffic (you might need an optional rear view camera to park one of these) and also deliver Hummer’s trademark crawling and climbing capability.
The new H3 Alpha offers a 5.3 liter 300 horsepower V-8 engine with 320 foot-pounds torque that boost maximum towing capacity to 6,000 pounds. That’s a 33 percent improvement over the standard 242-hp, 3.7 liter five-cylinder inline engine that produces 242 foot-pounds torque.
While the V-8 is shared with other GM trucks, the H3’s oil pan was engineered to ensure constant oil pressure when climbing or descending steep grades. Another feature is the stronger front differential case made of cast iron. The five-cylinder model’s differential case is made of aluminum.
The is more “fuel-efficient” than the larger H2, plus at $39,260, the H3 Alpha is about $15,000 less expensive.

Update 10/30/07: FQW out of business? The handwriting was on the wall when my contact at FQW left them not very long after I first posted here. Today the FQW site was completely gone, showing only an ugly mysql_connect database error page. The lesson here is that startups with good intentions can quickly “go south” for a variety of reasons. Buyer beware.
sites open for business include elance.com, getafreelancer.com, rentacoder.com and gofreelance.com.
