Quick little update. If you are a nerd but also care about the environment like we are here at Bored Mind you probably struggle with wanting to have cool tech toys but using too much energy. This little app for your computer will help with this issue.

It’s called LocalCooling and you run it on your machine. It is very light weight, not intrusive at all, just sits in the tray. From what I gathered it will help to effectively power down parts of your machine when you aren’t using them for a period of time. It also gives stats on how much energy, how many trees you saved and so on. Check it out. Pretty cool! I’m using it on my much under used, but always needs to be on, work desktop.
