As the end of the year approaches I’m thinking about New Year’s Resolutions and getting my agenda for the coming year in order.
We are buying a condo and closing on it in February, yay! I’m really excited about it. I love the place and am excited to explore a new neighborhood. The place is on the top floor and gets amazing light. The windows in the living room face south and there’s a good amount of direct sunlight most of the day.
This got me thinking…
Are there smallish solar power systems you can buy that would be strong enough to power a computer or a TV or.. I’ve been looking this up occasionally over the past year or so and there isn’t a lot out there. It seems like there’s a lot of options for smaller stuff like solar power to charge a cellphone or larger systems to power your whole house. I’m still on the search. I did find some info on how to build your own system but I’ll need to do some more research. I’d like to run at least one of my computers on solar power and maybe some of my other gear like the printer, speakers or external hard drive.
It would be a shame to let all that good sunlight go to waste!
Other things on the agenda:
Do a picture a day challenge.
Stop saying ‘like’ except in cases where it actually needs to be used. (This is a really tough one for me)
Start listening to music again. Actually listening, not just putting iTunes on shuffle for background noise.
Make some cheddar!
Find a really good black bread recipe.
