My MBP may end up at the Apple store for repair again, which could mean a delay in email response. The fan is making a horrible noise if I move the computer, and the fans were two of the parts that were replaced the last time it went in for service. I love Macs, I really do, but this is a little ridiculous! The fans were replaced in December (after having the notebook only 6 months), there is no way one of them should be bad already. Ok, I'm done complaining, I just wanted to let everyone know that if there is any delay, it is because they took my computer hostage again!

Focus Organic was given the Lemonade Award again, over at One. We're honored! You may remember that we received this award from a few other sites in November, as well! If not, it is given to blogs that show great attitude and/or gratitude. Thank you Wind!

The easiest way to balance our consumer habits with environmental and financial responsibility is to decrease our appetite for trendy, short-lived goods. Here, I suggest ways to restructure our habits and values so we want less stuff and integrate smart consumption into our lifestyles. Try it; it’s good for the your self, the planet, and your wallet."
