» A clean desktop reflects who you are.
I generally keep my desktop clean from all obscurities such as items downloaded from Firefox. I also try to keep minimal icons, but enjoy a few to my most used locations. I tend to place my icons around the corners of the screen.
Generally I have my drives at top left and important folders at bottom left. That’s about it. It results around three icons if I don’t have any form of media plugged in (SD card, USB etcetera) and leaves me happy when I boot up due to the simpleness.
I also generally stay with clean wallpapers, ones that aren’t too bright nor disrupt the other edges of my screen used by icons. I usually have a wallpaper that represents one of my beloved games as it means something to me (I currently have a half-life one).
Another desktop; is your actual one. I generally keep mine clean, but things do build up as they generally would, but I leave them there so next week I get to go through everything… sigh. It doesn’t help having family regularly use for word processing/ e-mail as well.
At the current time, my actual desk is an utter disaster and I must clean it soon. It has my technology magazines and pieces of paper strewn atop my neatness.. ah well. I am very neat when I do have time though.
Anyways, head off to clean up your desktop as you can most likely live with finding things in the start menu. This was just a coax for you messy people (and trust me, I’ve seen people with row upon row of icons
) to get out of your nasty habits.
Best,

» Electric Cars
Now an electric car is not a hybrid car; hybrid cars are different than electric cars. Hybrid cars still have a gasoline engine and emissions. An electric car does not have a gasoline engine neither does it have any emissions. With no emissions electric cars could be the earths answer to fixing global warming, well not yet. To make electric cars a good answer the world would have to switch to power plants that do not have any emissions at all. Mainly because burning coal is the largestĀ supplierĀ in energy in the world, and also the largest contributer to greenhouse gasses in the world. For instance in the United States coal is the leading producer of electricity. So if the United States would switch to electric cars right now they would use up more electricity. Therefore increasing the amount of coal United States would need to burn which would release more greenhouse gases. So electric cars cannot be the answer to curing global warming, yet. Electric cars cannot be the worlds answer until the whole world switches to emission free power plants. And there are other problems with electric cars, like getting something that can store enough electricity to power that car for as long as a car today lasts with one tank of gas.

Just when I thought cleaning went out of style.
My post from a few days ago talked about how horrible living in a college environment can be. It also included some graphic pictures, but that’s what one can expect when living with three other guys.
However, the same problem can exist with the women of this world. Renee in her latest blog post talks about the importance of keeping your living environment clean.
My post may have been on the negative side, but Renee gives a great approach on how to keep your living environment better and keeps it a bit more positive.
