"Johnathan Goodwin can get 100 mpg out of a Lincoln Continental, cut emissions by 80%, and double the horsepower. Does the car business have the guts to follow him?"
"Indeed, Goodwin is doing precisely what the big American automakers have always insisted is impossible."

I just love this story.
it's basically a IM for mobile phones. i read about it somewhere, (here? too many rss feeds!!!!) and have been using it for a week or so, in a very passive manner. but i have 3 friends already, funnily, all from south africa, i think. i don't have my photo on (you can), i don't go on about my music business stuff, i don't say anything, really. then i just got a message from a so called 22 year old woman in south africa asking where i'm at in life. deeeep sheeeet.
it's so out of context from what i usually am, that i think about it. and the answer i gave her was pretty humane. i was surprised myself.
now back to regular programming.
iwozniak going to check out http://www.zooomr.com/, but i don't have a camera on my current phone (i'm a mini malist, babyeee, so why don't you killlllllll meeeeeeeeeeee).
I'm going to start posting links to websites and/or articles and/or stuff that evoked a response out of me.
Found this yesterday.

I was looking for footage of Othar Turner and stumbled onto this seemingly wonderful website.
Now deceased, I've only seen Othar Turner perform once. I was lucky I actually saw the man play, since that might be the best musical/spiritual experience I've had and was one of his last. It was indescribable.
There is always something that connects the dots and in terms of rock and roll, a lot of it did come from the blues. If you think about where punk, etc came from, a lot of it came from rock and roll. With wonderful and free databases such as the above website, youtube.com and amazon.com aplenty, there is a whole legacy of dots that are waiting to be connected, by you.
