This post was supposed to be a review of The Transition Handbook.  This post was also supposed to be a giveaway.  But then my computer exploded.  (Yes, it was a PC.  And it didn’t so much explode as whimper pitifully and fade to black.)

Fortunately, I’m pretty good about backing up my computer on a regular basis.  Even if it was a hard drive failure and I can’t rescue any of my data, I didn’t lose too much.  When your biggest complaint is that you lost a blog post… that’s a pretty undramatic computer failure.  What I’m saying is back up your computers.  Go do it right now.

Instead of rewriting what would have been today’s post, I’m sitting on hold with tech support.  So in the meantime, I thought I would share with you the Bill Gates’ TED talk about carbon neutrality that I posted about last week.  Like most TED talks, it is definitely worth taking the time to watch all the way through.

(If you are having trouble viewing the video in RSS or e-mail, click here to watch.)

Happy Wednesday to all of you, and come back Friday for The Transition Handbook giveaway.  (Unless this computer dies too, in which case I’ll be forsaking technology and going off grid to live in a treehouse.)
