Al Gore: Virtual Housegueat

For the eco-obsessive compulsive, there is now the Manodo Display, which allows you to track your so-called carbon footprint in insane detail. According to EcoGeek, who apparently approves of this thing,
Imagine having Al Gore living in your house reminding you each time you forget to turn off the lights!
Like something out of an H P Lovecraft story, I can imagine it. But then I have to eat some smoked salmon to calm myself down.

Mind you, knowing Al Gore's habits, he'd probably leave on all the lights himself, use up all the hot water and crank up the AC to maximum, so Mandoo Display may be a tad counterproductive.

    Algore living in my house? I suppose it would take care of the problem of cleaning out the fridge...

    And also, what's a virtual housegeat? Something you download if you've got cyber-Grendels living in your home network?

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
