Earth Hour is an international event that asks households and businesses to turn off their lights and non-essential electrical appliances for one hour on the evening of 29 March at 8 pm local time until 9 pm to promote electricity conservation and thus lower carbon emissions. [source]
Reason why my blog is going black for a day is explained here @ Blackle.
[For those who are lazy to read the link, let me summarize the story for you. WHITE consume up to 50% more electricity on CRT monitor as compared to BLACK.]
3POINT8 is going black for a day! [till 31stMarch]
I know Earth Hour 2008 was yesterday. I admit, I missed that, But I'd still like to do the whole world a favor for a day.
Updated:
ccchai pointed out on Google goes Black. However, its only applicable to US and Isreal.
Puvanan added that Google in UK goes Black out too.
This site reported that Black increases electricity consumption, contrary to Blackle's claim.
[Since I do not know which is true, I'll just make the change to make people aware of current environmental issue]
My Blog has been reverted back to the normal White/Black Background.

3POINT8 got Flamed [minor grill]
Related Stuff: Post inspired by YuinYin.
Supporters make us feel good. Enemies try to put us down.
When our social circle expands, we'll have our own supporters and enemies (and a lot of people in between). And since everything happens for a reason, I'm guessing supporters and enemies plays an essential role in our lives.
I need supporters to drive me further, to motivate me in what I do best.
I need enemies as they are the perfect person to point out my mistakes. Even though the mistakes are not actually mistakes, but for some reason, they have this special inhuman ability to turn it to a mistake. Also, there are times when an enemy's remark have more impact than words of encouragement.
I'd say the perfect ratio for someone like me would be 90%supporter / 10%opposition.
Some people in blogosphere knows that I constantly ask this question:
"How does it feel to be flamed?"
Back then, I asked that question out of curiousity not knowing why I asked that.
Even until now, I do not know why I asked that but I'm suspecting that I want someone to be my 'enemy', someone to go against me.
[To those who love to analyze a person's personality, this is your chance. Analyze mine!]
So far, almost every comments in this blog has been a positive one. Recently, I got a seemingly negative comment from someone:
"See...that's why I said you are superficial. hugs only pretty girls huh? Beauty don't come from outside but from inside." ---- 22March 0841, LittlePolaris
This is not the first time she said that. I really should reflect myself on this.
[Note: Lots of ideas after this line deleted]
When I drafted this post a few days ago, I wanted to leave a sarcastic remark saying:
"If I can't hug a pretty girl, then i can only hug a guy, or animals"
Then I figured, a sarcastic tone of voice doesn't suit post like these.
[On a more serious note]
LittlePolaris is my dear friend. This post is not meant to give anybody a bad image. The stuff she wrote on her blog is very heart warming. If you have the time, do visit her blog @ http://www.yuinyin.com
[Looking back at what I wrote, this is so not my style. Emotions really does affect the things I do] [No wonder Rue Hann once said: "write the moment, it gives a different feel."]
Serious time over. Next post coming up: A Happy Moment Video
