So what.., I hear you say. Well, for every app that gets bought a real tree is planted. So far, 94 trees have been planted, and one of them is mine… it’s only $0,99 or €0,79. No reason not to get it.., well, you do need an iPhone.. :) .

Get the full read at the Apple Blog and get A Real Tree at the app store.

I really think it benefits mankind in ways we yet have to understand. The Chest Fridge is an example of that statement. It’s ideas like these that make it all good. Reverting a freezer into a fridge.

“Using vertical doors in refrigeration devices is an act against the Nature of Cold Air.”
“My chest fridge (Vestfrost freezer turned into a fridge) consumes about 0.1 kWh a day. It works only about 2 minutes per hour.”

Mt. Best offers a kit or a complete thermostat, which is the only custom item for the fridge. If only we could find a 24v DC freezer to convert, we’d loose even less power.
