Another Earth Day rolls around on the calendar to find that being green is getting easier. Adoption of CFL’s as alternatives to Edisonian Incandescents are taking off. Al Gore has throw down with a new presentation that is getting some notice. And very worth your time to watch. I’ve talked about it before but sometimes things are more than buzzwords. Green carries so much more weight than just its pigment nowadays, and its making it easier and cheaper to do things the right way. Recycling is just the start we need to move beyond blue buckets at the curb and into the houses themselves.

I had a teacher in Middle school Mrs Harper, who tasked me with finding a quiet way to work out my nervous energy when working on a project. “Find or make a ‘fidget‘ ” she said. It has to be small, light, and silent. Now I just use whatever debris is handy. I have her to thank for the best productivity tip I ever received. Do you have a fidget?
I need to have busy hands. When I’m working on a problem or waiting to get something done I make things, i doodle, i draw constantly, not well mind you. The larger the product the more raw materials from the office landscape i seem to use. If I ever work on a huge project i might disassemble something important. For especially big projects keeping my hands busy is just enough of a distraction to clear my head and allow my mind to move forward. Think Lucky Bat from a Few Good Men.

In the spirit of the Adopt a Newb Day 2008 celebration which is fast approaching I wanted to answer a frequent question I get asked . And I might ask the same of you. What do you get out of Social Media, and Social Networking sites, and how can they help my (insert podcast, blog, dairy farm)? It is a very valid question for the amount of time I spend on twitter, checking myspace, facebook and anything else where you can friend someone? It is a very valid question, and surprisingly it doesn’t have a simple answer. This article also sprung from a recent article by Chris Penn concerning the value of social networks when compared to choosing a school based on its name.

Today is a special day.
Everyday is special but today is the first full day that the silliness over at Twitter has truly embraced @TeamCoffee. So in honor of our first full day on the planet I figured a Form over Function Friday dedicated to the team as an inspiration as well. Form Over Function Friday is a recent tradition here at the CaffiNation Podcast. Basically every friday I take some element of Podsafe, independant music, and work it into a design which ends up as a wallpaper, available to you for your download enjoyment.

Alright this is silly, but that is the point…
Over on Twitter there was a strange missive put out by @ZeFrank concerning his allegiance to the blue team. Hearkening back to his days of summer camp and frolicking through the tulips no doubt. It took me, and quite a few other people who were not on when the message came out a few minutes to understand why there were team colors being put under various people’s profile picture.
