Apparently Wal-Mart put out an RFP for a rather large solar power installation.

Maybe they’re serious about this alternative power thing?

How high gas prices make politicians stupid. By Jacob Weisberg

Sustained high prices will bring about behavioral and political changes: energy conservation, public transportation, less exurban sprawl, and eventually the economic viability of alternative fuel sources such as biomass, fuel cells, wind, and solar power, which may one day undermine the power of the oil oligarchs. Are politicians too stupid to understand this, or just smart enough not to say it aloud?

Coolest iPod accessory ever.

The Ion iDJ.

How sweet is that? I could really get my DJ’ing career off the ground with one of these things.

This is all very meta, but I figured since I’m at a workshop about weblogs and wikis, I thought I’d add a little post here to my site.

It has a name:

Buck the Singing Deer Head

Yes, that’s right, Buck the Singing Deer Head.

I guess they were compelled to point out that it is, in fact, not an entire deer that sings, just the head.

Awesome.

If anyone at brandonsale.com wants to send me a commission, feel free… maybe they are in the Amazon Associates program?

It’s father’s day season! This year, why not get a gift he will love!

And yes Eric, this product comes from the wonderful folks who brought us Bill the Talking Bass.

KCMP launched yesterday at 9am and with high hopes for this new station, I have to say, I’ve thouroughly enjoyed the first few hours I’ve been able to listen to.

Have a look for yourself at their recent playlist, and you will surely see some of the music I have tried to push on my friends and family in the past.

I dusted off my lady friend’s MiniDisc player and recorded the first few hours of the station, which I will attempt to post as an mp3 at some point.

I’m not sure why I feel this weird connection to locally produced radio, but since I discovered KFAI, and now with the launch of KCMP, I’m enjoying flipping on the radio to see what’s on.
