One of the credited writers of the song Barracuda, Michael DeRosier, just called in to a local (Seattle) radio talk show and basically said Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart should get a life and he thought it was pretty cool that the song was being played at the RNC.

Here's the Wikipedia entry on the song: Credited writers are shown in the upper right hand of the page.

The podcast of the show will eventually be here. They usually post it around 4 p.m. Pacific. The call is at the very end of the 1st hour.

More update!!! Currently on-air...

Roger Fisher, guitarist for Heart is now calling in (he also co-wrote the song). He's an avid Obama supporter, but also thinks it's great the song was being played at the RNC. This is right at the beginning of the second hour.

Podcast Now Up: Here.

Germany leads 'clean coal' pilot

Big questions still hang over CCS technology overall

This mini power plant is a pilot project for carbon capture and storage (CCS) - the first coal-fired plant in the world ready to capture and store its own CO2 emissions.

A cloud of pure oxygen will be breathed into the boiler. The flame will be lit. Then a cloud of powdered lignite will be injected.

The outcome will be heat, water vapour, impurities, nine tonnes of CO2 an hour, and a landmark in clean technology.

Because the CO2 will then be separated, squashed to one 500th of its original volume and squeezed into a cylinder ready to be transported to a gas field and forced 1,000m below the surface into porous rock

the problem is that the exact cost of large-scale CCS is unknown.

The latest estimates suggest CCS power will cost roughly the same as wind power - maybe 50% more than it does at the moment.

The real test of CCS, though, is not in Europe.

DARPA today has a long-term, $3 billion program to help make such a “Metabolically Dominant Soldier.” In other words, the military is studying how to use technology and biology to meld man and machine and transcend the limits of the human body. Described the project director, “My measure of success is that the International Olympic Committee bans everything we do" The $3 billion program is definitely trying to achieve transhuman performance goals.

The wearable gear would enable running at 100 meter olympic sprinter speed for hours and the 7 foot vertical leap, the wall crawling, personal flight, invisibility, greatly enhanced strength, better body armor and carrying bigger and more powerful weapons.

UPDATE: Advanced gene therapy could provide cheetah or gorilla quality muscles in people for 45 mile per hour speed or five to ten times strength

WASHINGTON - Americans’ productivity soared in the spring while labor costs declined, two welcome outcomes that should relieve concerns that inflation is getting out of hand.

The Commerce Department reported Thursday that productivity, the amount of output for every hour of work, jumped 4.3 percent at an annual rate in the April-June quarter, a full percentage point higher than economists expected.

At the same time, labor costs fell at an annual rate of 0.5 percent, slightly better than expected.

Robert Scoble Misrepresents Huckabee Comment On Reporting

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:38:14 GMT

clipper's remarks: Mike Huckabee referred to the reporting on Sarah Palin as "tackier than a costume change at a Madonna concert." Mr. Scoble first claims Huckabee said Twitter users were "tackier," then the "elite media." Neither statement is accurate. Never assume the mainstream media is telling you the truth.

Clip Source: twitter.com

Huckabee just called Twitter users "tackier than a costume change at a Madonna concert." Hmmm, I saw Madonna last Friday in Berlin. about 1 hour ago from web

@Tojosan oh, OK, he called out the "elite media." I figured he was talking about Twitter users and bloggers.

@michaelhyatt I don't remember him saying anything about mainstream media. I remember him using the words "elite media." I think that's YOU. about 1 hour ago from web in reply to michaelhyatt

Google Chrome - first benchmarks. Summary: wow.

We've got the first comparative benchmarks of Google Chrome, which we downloaded around half an hour ago as the official launch podcast came to an end.

And it is fast, easily topping the chart. In particular, it's more than ten times faster than IE 7, and three times faster than IE8 b2. FF 3.1 comes closest.

Here are the figures.

Palin and Monegan - the real story

Walt Monegan. Today (July 18th), Monegan uncovered the smoking gun. He told the media that the governor's husband Todd Palin, along with Director of Boards and Commissions Frank Bailey and Commissioner of Administration Annette Krietzer applied persistent and heavy pressure upon him to fire Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten, who had been the subject of numerous complaints filed by Sarah Palin before she became governor. Blogger Andrew Halcro, who's been the lead dog on this case, saw the report on the KTUU 6:00 P.M. News Hour and posted the information HERE.

Laptops And Home Networks Transform Behavior

Consumers With Ubiquitous Internet Access Spend Twice As Much Time Online

This is the second document in the "Consumer Device Adoption 2005" series.

by Ted Schadler

with Chris Charron, Sally M. Cohen, Jennifer Joseph

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Households that own a laptop computer and a home network are on the frontier of online activities. These advanced consumers spend twice as much time online as all dial-up households, are three times more likely than broadband-only households to go online in the living room, and watch an hour and a half less TV per week than the average household. With this group swelling from 4 million to 30 million households in the next five years, the cumulative effect on shopping, media consumption, and services will be dramatic.
