LEDs can double as data transmitters, save even more energy
Here is one more totally awesome reason that we should be switching out incandescents for LED lightbulbs: a new technology means a single LED can transmit more data than a cellular tower. Prof. Harald Haas demonstrates in this TEDGlobal talk:
The lightbulb is flickering on and off too fast for the human eye to detect.

Dear skeptics: Here is more climate data than you can handle
For the climate skeptics who dragged us all through Climategate on the conviction that climate scientists are lying jerks, here is the data you wanted to see. Here it is. The University of East Anglia put it online for all to access. This might make it harder for scientists to get shared data in the future, since people don’t always like it when you give away their work for free, but it is worth it just to shut you up.
Happy now? Oh, what, you actually have no idea how to interpret this raw data?
