Music for kids who can’t read good

Music for people who cant read good does this neat series called “Commercial Watch”. It’s a great way to check out new music or to see how some of your favorite music has been put to use in commercials. For example, one of my favorite bands, Broken Social Scene and Cadbury Favorites! You can’t go wrong with this mix!

WALL-E came out on DVD this week

There’s no way we’re going to see Back to the Future 2’s flying cars by 2015, but I’ve got high hopes that at the pace robot technology is evolving we could totally make WALL-E a reality in the next one hundred or two hundred years. I won’t be around to see it happen, but I’ll do it for the children because that’s how selfless I am. Now is as good a time as any to stop using trashcans. There’s so much space on the ground just waiting to be filled with paper and plastic.

For Those Who Do Not Trust Consumer Reports:

Google does more than just search for the random crap you constantly need. They are an organization built on helping society. For that reason, they’ve built a project called Recharge IT. The project called for a survey of hybrid cars over a period of seven weeks. The results prove that plug-in hybrids are the best way to maximize fuel efficiency. Google plans to use the data to further improve technologies and contribute to building the green transportation grid across America.

Spread the Wealth

Ok – so maybe it’s not a wealth, but Caleb Palma, owner of the blog It’s Hard to Find a Friend, knows how to share some tunes. If you’re in need of hearing some good (mostly) music then you should check it out. Send him a note to let him know how great he’s doing too.
