What it does

When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.

When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2007

A blog by Kris De Decker about old and forgotten technologies, and what they could teach us about sustainable energy.

Since 2018 the site has run on a solar panel and battery on a balcony in Barcelona, so it can go offline in cloudy weather. Its articles have been translated into eleven languages.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
