A surplus of geekery by :: Fred Abercrombie

Adv: Times Square Billboard Made From Recycled Electronics

Really diggin’ this. Saw it at Scouting NY who makes a great point: “I wish they had made it a little bit more clear what the incentive is to lug my old VCR all the way to Best Buy versus just tossing it in the garbage.” I wonder how many people outside the Bay Area bubble are as aware of the hazards of e-waste. Or of how much personal data can still be retrievable even after you’ve “deleted it”.

    What? Are you implying that no one outside the bay area is aware of the climate change hoax? I think there’s a lot of people that have been goaded in to it.

    This being Silicon Valley, I wonder if people are as aware elsewhere.

    No mention of climate though. I’m talking about hazardous materials in electronics. As in hazardous to your health, not just the health of our planet. Or are those materials a hoax, too?

    Funny how any topic that could be remotely taken as Liberal/Left is automatically reinterpreted to the extreme and written off by the Right.
