• Isn’t the internet wonderful

    Alan Liefting

    With all of this electronics and computer technology we have got things really good. My toaster pops up when the toast is done just right.  I can video Skype my mates on the other side of the world for free. I can see how little money I have in my bank account at any time of the day or night.  I can take really good pictures with my little camera (and sometimes bad ones with my big camera).  I can find and play all sorts of music that I have a sudden urge to listen to.  I can watch all sorts of films and tv programmes whenever I want.  I can watch all sorts of rubbish that I like to laugh at.

    But I think the best thing about technology is that I can lie here on the couch in our lounge and do most of the administration of my little business empire.

    This picture has nothing to do with this blog post except that it has a couch in it. Our old one at that.
    This picture has nothing to do with this blog post except that it has a couch in it. Our old one at that.  This is Tom playing cat and mouse on our couch back in 2004.  Tom was the neighbours cat.  RIP Tom.  You were a good cat.  You had a personality.  Anyway, this is the internet. We got to get all of our cat photos uploaded on to it don’t we?

    DIY Cat Bed From a Computer Monitor | Home Design, Garden & Architecture Blog MagazineDo you have an old computer monitor and it’s no longer of use to you? Instead of throwing it out to the garbage, how would you feel about transforming it into something really cool? If you have a cat and want to surprise it with a new cozy sleeping place, you can transform your old […]

    I always like the idea of repurposing but if it is done we should always consider the end of life recycling.  In this case the plastic case has been painted which means that when the plastic is granulated for recycling it will be contaminated with the paint.

    Another point about this reuse of the computer monitor case is that the circuit board and CRT (which is difficult to recycle and dangerous to handle) will need to be delivered to a recycler who will accept it for recycling.
