Starting green

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Earth2Tech has released a really cool map they’re calling Earth2Tech’s 101 Cleantech Startups. The map allows you to see where some of the coolest green startup companies are located and the industry they’re involved in. May be an interesting place to start if you’re looking for a green career.

The company has also released maps for the Biofuels Deathwatch and the Coal Deathwatch.

Unreviewed

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

In the March issue of Maxim, the magazine “reviewed” one of my favorite bands, The Black Crowes, upcoming album Warpaint. The album was rated two-and-a-half stars out of five.

Later, the band posted on it’s own web site that the writer for Maxim hadn’t heard the entire album and had only heard one song. Reason being: advanced copies of the album weren’t available.

In the magazines words, the review was an “educated guess”.

I don’t really think you can fairly call that a review now, can you?
