Eco Friendly & Pocket Friendly

I have recently found myself caught up in a debate with friends over whether or not there is a high enough pay off to go with a portable air conditioner versus a built in unit or a window unit. The appeal in todays market is they are compact and movable, as simple as it sounds sometimes you simply dont have a need to cool every unused room in your home. This Low profile device is ideal for really any type of cooling and don’t take up a lot of space. One of the things that really drew me in was the affordability, the units themselves are not out of one's price-range. You also will only be cooling the room that the unit is in so you're saving money by not paying to cool every nook and cranny of your home. AmeriCool units come with a remote capability so you can operate the system from the couch or the kitchen if you're busy cooking you wont need to leave and turn up the system. They are also portable so that you can move it to whichever room you wish. With these units, installation is as minimal as simply plugging it in and you will be ready to go. The manufacturer has purposely made this has user friendly as possible. You do not need a professional installer. No need to knock out a hole in the wall or deprive yourself of the use of a window. Lastly and most importantly by cooling only specific areas as needed (as opposed to central air conditioning units that cool the entire house), you achieve energy efficiency. The spot cooling results in lower operational costs and saves you money.

Dream Boat

Did any of you see the ridiculous yet some how humorous movie "hot tub time machine"? I remember watching that film and thinking that hot tubs have the opposite effect on me... I never feel like i go back in time, instead I feel as though I am jumping ahead. It is literally a life suck. This picture makes me a bit envious because having a hot tub in my server room could make for some convenient time management while at work and even dare I say make everything more relaxing. To bad this would never fit into my mission critical technology or my data room, because it would moisten and heat up everything. But a guy can dream right?

Happy day after the Easter/Passover Weekend

Hope the holiday weekend treated everyone well.
