Renaissance Man Crush....GO!

So there's a great resource on the web that shows you how much electricity it takes to do all sorts of things - run your washing machine, light your home, freezify your popsicles, etc.  It's been my go-to for a couple years now, and today being Sharing Wednesday (somewhere, probably) I thought I'd bestow it unto you: www.michaelbluejay.com.

Yes, that does read "I was born into a cult". 

If you're feeling clicky, your first thought was like mine - when did Weird Al start wearing suits?  Au contraire, Frenchie, that in fact is Big Mike Bluejay, Human Extraordinaire.  In addition to creating the web's definitive guide to household energy use, Mr. Electricity (a moniker that appears to be self-donned) also drops comprehensive knowledge on the process of home-buying, how to snag cheap plane tickets, bicycle safety, and his stint as a Ben Folds Five groupie (natch...).

Google "cheap airfare guide" - Bluejay's on top.  Google "household battery guide" - it's Bluejay season.  "How to buy a home"?  The Bluejays are in town for a three-game series.  If you were dorky enough to ask Jeeves "what's a boss site about saving electricity?" - you guessed it: the North American Coastal mother-flyin' Bluejay.

Homey just slays search engines.

It harbors hope, doesn't it?  One guy, rockin' long last-century locks, just pwning number one rankings.  Sure, his page looks like it was designed in 2001 - but it's actually from '98, so dude's a visionary.  Don't hate on his skills.  (BTW - search "website design tips"?  Yup.  A Michael Bluejay Joint.)

Why is he worth noting on a blog about saving humanity and all of nature's creatures and the environment and music and love?  I'll let the man speak for himself.

He doesn't use air-conditioning until it gets up to 96°.  He's never had a beer in his life.  He sleeps on blankets instead of a bed.  Anyone else picking up on the Chuck Norris/Jack Bauer/World's Most Interesting Man vibe?  I'm just sayin'...

So should we idolize him?  Raise him up to the vaunted status of welebrity cewebrity Internet icon?  I don't know.  All I know is I want to get an apartment with him and possibly write his autobiography.  That's right, autobiography.  That's how inside his brain I need to get.  Also seems I would make more money that way.
