CO2Stats - Making websites green #
"CO2Stats makes your site carbon neutral and shows visitors you're environmentally friendly.... [The service] automatically meters your website's total energy consumption, helps to make it more energy efficient, and then purchases audited renewable energy from wind and solar farms to neutralize its carbon footprint - all for a flat, affordable monthly fee."
I plugged TinyApps.Org into their calculator (which sadly returned the wrong plan based on our number of monthly page views - about 300,000) and within a few hours, Alex (one of the co-founders) had taken the trouble of looking me up and sending a very nice message. Over the course of several emails, I became convinced that these guys are destined for success based on their integrity, kindness, speed, and (perhaps not least of all) phenomenal flattery skills. They have already signed some big names like IBM, Harvard, and Segway, and I trust the service will continue to grow apace.
UPDATE: Treehugger has covered some green web hosting options as well.

Muichibutsu #"Wabi invites humility. The self is negated by being absorbed in something else, as expressed by the Buddhist notion of muichibutsu, the emptiness of non-being. Because it literally means '[not having] a single thing', muichibutsu in Rikyu's time referred to wabi people who did not possess nor covet one single utensil. Muichibutsu people were thought to be free from any attachments and passion for possession, free of economic wealth and political ambitions and want of office. Rodrigues was well aware of this aspect of wabi and he spared no ink to describe it in his reports on tea:
'The purpose of the gathering is not lengthy talk but the peaceful contemplation of the things of nature; everything employed in the pastime is rustic, rough, and unrefined, just as nature made it....there is no artistry or elegance, but only natural neglect and old age.'"From Rediscovering Rikyu: And the Beginnings of the Japanese Tea Ceremony by Herbert Plutschow

Delete autocomplete entries in Palm OS #If you have mistyped a city, state, country, company, or title in Palm OS and find the misspelled autocomplete entry annoying, there is a fix (thank God): simply delete AddressCitiesDB, AddressStatesDB, AddressCountriesDB, AddressCompaniesDB, or AddressTitlesDB with a file manager like Filez. (Many thanks to Steve T for his forum post.)
