a new crusade!

an inspirational day today: ran a first year class with engineers who actually communicated with each other and had a vibe of (academic) community amongst peers, donated a carload of unloved crts to an organisation who actually take all electrical and computer equipment (working or not!), and heard about a potentially very interesting boy who is into unionism!

i've been looking for an organisation that takes old computer equipment, particularly crts, for so long, it's beyond a relief to finally find one. and not only do they take computers but also any electrical equipment. hooray! so, a new ewaste crusade: starting with resetting the institutional default for unloved working furniture and electricals/computers from death by skip binning to donation to charity. this will probably be the last thing i do at this forsaken institution before throwing in the paperwork for my backpack and passport.
