But I admit it could be prettier, and the people at the design blog Core77 were pretty unsatisfied. So they've asked their readers to design the perfect eBook reader...before Tuesday... OK, well, they announced the competition a week ago, and now as it's wrapping up, I'm getting excited to see the results. We'll have a report on the winners (and honorable mentions) on Wednesday. But for now, Sony's newest PRS Reader still wins for "device that actually exists." Via TreeHugger

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.

Oh, and after 5 days use I'm still under 1/2 kWh all told (as measured by my "Kill-A-Watt" monitor).
