Once again, I'm going off topic for a wee bit. Don't want to sound preachy, but...

So many devices nowadays use power, even when one is not even using them. This chart shows some of those typical "Vampire Energy" suckers. With how expensive it has become to heat and power our homes, it's worth taking a look at.

This page has lots of good tips, including one that I am very guilty of not not following: "Unplug any battery chargers or power adapters when not in use."

While I'm almost certainly not going to unplug my Wii or DVD player between uses, I can only imagine how many chargers I have plugged in all over the house. Ugh.
