adClustr Hibernation

Hello everyone - it’s been a while, huh?I just want everyone to know that I haven’t forgotten about this site. I am still dedicated to providing quality backgrounds and integration tips for your ads, but work over at my web design agency has gotten the best of me recently.Ever since I created the site for Hello everyone - it’s been a while, huh?

I just want everyone to know that I haven’t forgotten about this site. I am still dedicated to providing quality backgrounds and integration tips for your ads, but work over at my web design agency has gotten the best of me recently.

Ever since I created the site for Naomi at IttyBiz, things have picked up to the point where I honestly have no time for blogging. Hopefully this will change in the near future to where I can start to take this site to the next level.

Changes and Updates ComingI have gotten away from providing my core value over the last few months. I have been blogging more than designing new backgrounds. This is going to change. Over the course of the next month or two (hopefully!) I will be rolling out a new look and feel to this site, along with a better way to get your backgrounds (he we come downloads, here we come…)

In the meantime, thank you all for sticking around - and you won’t be disappointed once everything settles down and adClustr is back doing what everyone loves — Backgrounds!

Eco-cheats: Scandal as Filter Fraud Threatens Cleaner Air

On 1 January 2008, the Scarlet Letter effect will start shaming drivers of polluting vehicles in German cities which are implementing an eco-zone to reduce pollutants to below EU standards. Vehicles which pollute too much to rate at least a red sticker in the red-yellow-green system will be banned altogether. Auto clubs predicted chaos as German drivers delayed ordering their windshield stickers. But it is worse than they could have imagined: tens of thousands of German drivers are learning that their action to meet the law's requirements are in vain. They are victims of an astounding filter fraud....

Urban Intensification: Inhabiting Billboards

Those massive billboards by urban highways have a lot of structure to them; one can imagine them holding a lot more than they do. Imagine if they were inhabited. Brendan O'Grady did this and won big in the Ken Roberts Memorial Delineation (architectural rendering) Competition. It's called "aeroform"- copy below the fold....

Why Global Trade and Out-Sourcing Make International Standards Organization (ISO) Certification A Joke

Brand China is so in the toilet over leaded toys made for export that the Chinese Government is starting to take action against pirates in the toy supply chain. The other interesting aspect of his story is that it points to the lack of US coverage, so far, of evidence that voluntary standards don't help when China is the supplier.Owing to the fact that poor or no records are available regarding how toxic toys were made or to whom they were sold, ISO certification, the international Gold Standard of quality, is apparently of no benefit to Western consumers seeking assurance that manufacturers have Chinese supply chains under control enough to guard against...

Looking for Better Ethanol in Termite Guts

Image courtesy of The Institute for FiguringAs efforts continue apace to devise ever more intricate approaches to producing cellulosic ethanol, one group of scientists has decided to reconsider one of nature's most efficient and well-studied models - the termite gut. Led by Jared Leadbetter, a microbiologist from Caltech, the genomic study of the termite gut's micro-inhabitants revealed almost 1,000 enzymes known to play a role in the breakdown of wood.In their current form, most existing cellulosic ethanol technologies are costly, inefficient affairs; the main problem, according to Calt...

Three Gorges: China's Own Dam Problem

Compared to coal, hydropower is clean. But China's grandest, half-century-old approach to meeting its energy demands "cleanly" is arguably as much a solution as it is a problem. And there is no better symbol of the necessity and danger of dams than China's Three Gorges Dam, the world's biggest. (It is also, as the New York Times reminds us this week, the world's biggest power plant, biggest consumer of dirt, stone, concrete and steel and has led to the biggest displacement of people in history -- 1.13 million. When the co...

Carbon Dioxide Levels Hit Record High, Methane Levels Flat in 2006

Image courtesy of BritannicaFew eyebrows will likely be raised by the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) latest report, which concluded that levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide hit record highs last year. According to the report, carbon dioxide levels rose 0.53% from 2005 to 381.2 ppm while nitrous oxide levels, third among greenhouse gas emissions, rose 0.25% from 2006 to 320 ppb - 36% and 19% above pre-industrial times, r...

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life Dept.: the Melting Arctic

Life imitates Monty Python in Northern Canada, where the Star tells us that residents of Churchill, Manitoba "are hoping that climate change will melt enough ice in Hudson Bay that their small grain port can become a major transportation hub." Currently about the only source of income there is running polar bear tours. "I know it sounds strange because melting sea ice could drive the polar bears away from here," Mike Spence, the longtime mayor of Churchill, told me when we had dinner later that evening. "But a lot of people also think that's going to happen anyway. So they see a yea...
