Our new shopping cart/ordering system is close to complete. There might still be some occasional glitches as people hit rarely used parts of the system. We are still filling in some products, developing our system for wholesalers (you will automatically see the appropriate prices and discounts when logged in to a wholesaler account and be able to use additional payment options), and we are working on filling in automated selection/checkout for common custom orders. Please be patient as we work to serve you better! (Please read on if you have problems.)
I got in a recent discussion in another site on how technology changes your power usage. If you have solar panels and a battery bank, for instance, you begin using less energy habitually and find you do not need as much as you thought you did. This remains true even when your power budget is no longer constrained and you simply put more thought into the way you work.
In the summer season, many people depend on their air conditioning to stay comfortable and A/C is a big consumer of electricity. I thought it was appropriate to post some tips on beating the heat and using less energy.
