I wish this were the case, but this week is going to be humid as all heck. If it’s not raining it’s going to be on the verge of raining which is even worse than rain. I was in the subway before kung fu yesterday, and I could literally see the sweat dripping off my [...]

I think the idea is that mode sets the a/c to turn off periodically instead of just running constantly. Thing is that I don’t remember the last time I heard it turn off while on energy saver mode.

This is kind of a followup to this comic. At the time, certain people were childishly using the snowstorms as evidence that global warming doesn’t exist. Of course, two weeks of extreme heat shouldn’t qualify as a counter argument because a broader set of data should be used, but doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be fun [...]

Yesterday reached a high of around 103°. Today it’s not supposed to be as hot, but still really freaking hot. I anticipate more drinking of certain un-recommended refreshments during my kung fu class today than doing any actual kung fu (no a/c at my school).
A friend of mine told me that sometimes he’s afraid that [...]

Believe it or not I do still try my best to conserve despite my electricity bill being included in my rent, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t awesome not to have to worry about it during the summertime. We just got really really lucky with this apartment and plan on staying here [...]

It’s criminally hot in my office. I’m pretty sure most offices whose primary means of conducting business is via lots of video equipment are usually very well air conditioned all year round. My office is the exception. The room I’m in has no windows and has several computers, digibeta decks, large hard drives which are [...]

Time to start bringing a shirt to work. I had thought the a/c was on, but the sheer power of all the machines in my room at work spewing hot air was negating it. Turns out even those are no match for the a/c. The air temperature is just never good in my room. Still, [...]

I’m the person on both sides of this comic. Yesterday we went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to enjoy the cherry blossoms that have bloomed. The Sakura Matsuri I’ve gone to a bunch of times, but since I’m not really there for the events per se then it’s better to just go when it’s calm [...]

Actually last night the thunder was indeed accompanied by some rain so it was significantly cooler around 10 pm. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough time to cool my apartment down. I ended up using my air conditioner anyway. Monday night though there was quite a lightning storm. Saw several enormous bolts of lightning before it moved [...]

Thing about subways is that during the heat they’re either nice and refreshing or chambers of heat from which the hopefully air conditioned subway car is the only escape. However, if you’re unfortunate enough to get caught in the latter, there are sometimes pockets or small openings where a breeze sneaks through and are kind [...]
