Apparently Toronto has implemented a very interesting solution for cooling their downtown (Canada needs cooling down?!). They take cold water from Lake Ontario then basically pump it through pipes in offices, thus cooling the offices. Kind of works like the way the dorms at Carolina are heated; they just run hot through the pipes, and it sure works well enough.

Very very interesting.

By the way, Terrance as a good story on what happened tonight ...

My game is really really rusty. I made about 3 crucial errors throughout the game. I'm surprised I lasted so long. I just gave up at the end because my chip position was in a bad situation and my game wasn't as sharp as it should of been.

Oh my goodness. Why can't I stop listening to this MP3?! What's WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!?!

When I first scanned the entry, I misunderstood and thought that essentially what they\'d done was stuck a giant, liquid-cooling system similar to the one used in the new G5s in the city. :P

It sounds like a good idea, but I am wondering what the long-term ramifications will be on the the lake and its ecosystem.

It is (usually) so hot in the summer. Plus, Toronto was built over a swamp so the humidity is excruciating. Like Florida Everglades bad.

Alec Baldwin unveiled the cooling system, and expressed his delight at street hot dog vendors selling vegetarian alternatives. I didn\'t know that sort of thing would impress a hot shot celebrity.
