Google signs a 20-year contract to buy wind power

Miscellaneous, News / By /

I know that in the past few years, Google has received a lot of grief for seemingly acting contrary to their “Don’t Be Evil” motto, but you have to give credit to them when they do something that is genuinely positive, even altruistic.

Take for example, their goal to become carbon neutral and the ensuing action of agreeing to purchase power from a wind farm for the next 20 years. Of course, what this means is that this NextEra wind farm (in Ohio) will be reasonably funded for the next 20 years.  If for no other reason, here’s hoping that Google is a going entity for the next 2 decades.

Wind Chime Alarm Clock

The alarm clock is the best, and the worst, (depending on how much you like hate work) invention ever, but we manage to bring you the coolest, weirdest and wackiest out there. Today’s is no exception – the wind chime alarm clock will wake you up in a very calm manner, unlike the horrible sound some other clocks make.

At your desired, preset time you will be awoken with the zen-like sound of wind whistling through a set of chimes (hit the buy link for a video). If you’re worried about this not being enough to wake you then there is the option of setting it to beep like every other alarm clock on the planet – but surely this defeats the objective?
