Earth Hour, run by WWF, is a a global climate change initiative and international event, which calls on individuals and businesses around the world to flick the switch by turning off their lights and electrical appliances for one hour. Earth Hour 2008 will take place this evening, the 29th of March, at 8p.m. local time to promote electricity conservation and “thus lower carbon emissions”.

A late night escapade to Q-zar and bowling in the Blanchardstown Leisureplex (how much fun! – I haven’t done that since my teenage years) saw me leaving the moped in work overnight the other night and subsequently having to resort to public transport the following morning i.e. get the train into work. Anyway, page 13 of my free copy of METRO contained an article about how open-source technology is transforming the economy, politics and science… so nothing new there exactly but it did get me thinking about mass collaboration, social networking, blogging and self-publishing on the Internet in general ( a lot to think about on a relatively short train journey!). And, I also learned a new term in the process, ‘wikinomics’.
