Make My Technology Work

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

OK, I admit that I am behind the times.  And it has nothing to do with being a greenie.  It is because I am behind the times, and I really need to win this Pimp My Cube Contest

I doubt that I'm the only one with a backward office cube.  You should know that the contest period is from 12/5/11 at 12:00PM to 1/31/12 at 12:00PM.  Pimp My Cube is offering great prizes including a grand cube makeover prize worth over $1200.  Enter this contest, upload a video, and have your friends and neighbors go online to Pimp My Cube and vote for your video.  That will increase your chance of winning a prize.

To start with I am not exactly an Energy Star guy.  If I were, I would use a cute little Mac laptop, the latest model.  In fact, I use a big computer box that is still using the Windows XP operating system.  That brings up an interesting question: are the newer operating systems like Windows 7 more or less energy efficient than Windows XP?  In any case, I tend to do my computing on a slow basis, and I don't have enough RAM to do any fancy graphics or play any cool games.  If I am just typing MS Word or Excel documents I am OK, but if I have to start working with Adobe Photoshop, Flash, etc, I could be quickly out of luck.  The best thing that could be said about my office setup is that I share a printer, so I save some energy that way.  But my work cubicle, really a shared long ledge is not decorated or pretty at all.
