Necessity or Frustration
It has long be said the Necessity is the mother of invertion, but I offer that in the IT world it is more often than not Frustration that drives us. You don’t think so? Hop of over to the FunCave and see what a Truck full Of Ninjas is all about, maybe even offer yourself up as a sacrafice to the beta gods :>)
And speaking of the FunCave and Chris;
Chris is chairing the planning committee for the first electronics recycling event ever held in West Alabama. The public collection of E-Cycling Day isn’t due to happen until January 24.
As of last Friday, thanks to large equipment pledges from a couple of local businesses which have already been picked up…E-Cycling Day has already collected 27,000+ pounds of electronic equipment!
They’re estimating they will collect 200,000+ pounds of equipment by the end of this event.
E-Cycling Day has started to garner a TON of attention, but they (the planning committee) would like it to receive more attention even farther out than our state.
Specifically, they’d like E-Cycling Day to get some “airplay” hither and yon, as we would like to be able to share our model with folks or organizations interested in forming an e-cycling event in their area.
