Through Scientific American I found a way to offset the carbon footprint of my website. The company, CO2Stats, provides a free carbon offset counter that automatically counts the carbon footprint caused by visitors to the site, mostly from the energy consumed by the computers used to access and host the site. What is great is that on the basis of the counter, CO2Stats invests in renewable energy projects from web advertising and sponsors. Whew, one more thing off my back!

SA Update
Just a tiny update: I added a randomized image of some of the products at the Spirit Alchemy CafePress store. Had to learn a little bit about javascript to do so, but was easily successful. I hope this isn’t too commercial and/or annoying for the front page.

Spirit_Alchemy CafePress store now open!!!
I opened a store at CafePress to offer a variety of products (T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, Bumper Stickers, Mugs, License Plate Frames, Journals, and MORE) that have designs related to the spirit alchemy website.
The store is http://www.cafepress.com/spirit_alchemy – (there’s an underscore between the words, as ‘spiritalchemy’ was already taken, but my stuff is WAY better!)

photographics
One of my interests is photography, and periodically I might put a photo here.
Feel free to see some of my other work at http://www.flickr.com/photos/spiritself/
For example, this was taken on a recent hike to Multnomah Falls… just a tiny fern (?) growing from between the cracks of two rocks forming one of the retaining walls. The hike to the top is nice – short and steep, but with lots of interesting plants, rock formations, and views.

SA Update
I’ll periodically mention here any updates to the Spirit Alchemy website.
In this case, today I added a mostly unobtrusive counter to the front page, a link to this blog, and a test page that has dynamically updated news content and a comic. Wheee! -
Don’t look now!
Well here is the inaugural post of a new blog.
Does the world need another blog by a random guy? Of course not. But then again, what if this blog isn’t for the world? Maybe it’s a way to see myself through a new lens. Maybe, like any lens, it works both ways, and I can use it to project as well.
Maybe all of that is irrelevant, because as of yet there is no express purpose that i have in mind for this blog. Maybe that means that what it is now will change based on what happens to this space in the future. Maybe your reading of this post in the future (now?) changes what I am writing in the past (which is, of course, now).
Maybe you need to go get some coffee and read the regular newspaper if this gives you a headache, because it’s only going to get worse…
