A Truck That Runs on Coffee Grounds (and How Wood-Gas Powers Cars With Garbage) : Gas 2.
All you people who consider yourselves eco-holier-than-thou just because you use coffee grounds in your mulch can bow down to this guy. I always knew coffee would save the world, I just figured it would be via the stimulation of the intellect. It would seem coffee can have a more hands on approach. Thanks to James Hoffman over on the Jimseven.com blog for the link.

Sweet!
I can finally say good-bye to my long term co-dependent relationship with Sprint and feel the sweet 3G love on a new iPhone. Now if they would just make those native apps a little more friendly to GTD…

Nice try Mr. McCain, but unless that’s a double shot of Reagan Kool-aid, I don’t think it’s going to help you get my vote. It would be interesting to see what the coffeehouse drink of choice for each candidate is. Coffeeboy Network- activate! Make it so.

TED | Talks | Bono: TED Prize wish: Join my call to action on Africa (video)
Say what you want about Bono. Say what you want about the humanist elite and their preaching to their own choir over at TED. But, What Bono says here, about Africa, is very true and a good reality check for all us rich American Catholic types. Plus, if you look carefully, he’s still wearing that black rosary that JPII gave him. “Am I buggin’ ya? I dunt mean ta bug ya.”

BBC NEWS | UK | Music ‘can enhance wine taste’
And people still wonder about all the emphasis Plato put on music in The Republic. It would be interesting to do this study with seasoned wine tasters and sommeliers, to see if the swing was as wide. Also, it would be cool to see what role conversation plays in it, or arguing and debate. I’ve drank a lot of fantastic wine while being forced to listen to that damn Rod Stewart’s “Great American Songs” travesty and it still tasted pretty damn good. Could it have tasted 60% better to Vivaldi or Jeff Buckley? I may never know.

Geurrilla Marketing at its finest!!
 So, what do you do when, after surviving several months of construction in front of your coffeehouse, a giant festival comes to town and they put a portable espresso bar in a position that everyone has to walk past to even get to your shop? You get creative.
