Click on Health is offering free glucose meter and guide for diabetics.  For those that don’t know, diabetes are required to constantly monitor their blood sugar level.  Hence, they must carry a glucose meter with them at all times.  There are some really good blogs regarding Diabetes and there are a lot of research going into this area right now.  If you are a software developer, consider whether you have any good ideas for software applications that can improve people’s lives.

There are two types of diabetes.  Type II is associated with obesity.  Hence, I have included a video to show how fast the obesity epidemic is spreading.  Which serves a reminder for myself to definitely eat less and exercise more.

“Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.

VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.”
