Endless Monkey

As an IT nerd a Nintendo fan and a human, I can never seem to get enough monkey in my daily grind.

Finally someone has come to my aid and created a solar powered monkey climber that will go and go as long as the sun is shining bright. Its quite simple really: sun = climb. Another interesting factor is that you get the monkey climber in bits so you can see exactly whats going on in there and possibly make some enhancements or a whole new idea.

Why do I get the idea that we are only seeing the start of solar systems (for want of a better term) in our everyday lives. A guy I work with is currently getting his home converted to solar electric (with gas hot water backup and mains power backup) because the government is offering a huge kickback at the moment for those that make the switch. Normally its around $9000 and its costing him $2500.

Without knowing exactly how much they use, he expects it to fully power his 24x7 home appliances with a small amount in reserve for 'on demand' use. If he is lucky, he will have overestimated his home use and if he pumps enough spare electricity INTO the grid, he will be sent a nice cheque in the post every few months. Yes, it will be little but hey, moneys money right!
