South by Southwest kicks off today and the buzz is all about location updates. I’m here, now, I’m over here, where are you, should I be there too? Any software that wants to keep track of where are species is hanging out is launching or displaying its product at this music/art party.
Toyota continues to have a love affair with the news. This week we saw one of their prized Priuses speed down the freeway with a police escort to help it stop. These guys just can’t get a brake 😉 Also, their documentation is being investigated for liability. One of their former in-house counsels says there is good evidence against them. No wonder he is a “former” employee.

The Health Care bill is still stuck in Congress and our man Obama is doing his best to rally the troops and get it passed. He should turn on his twitter account more often and get the masses speaking up. It makes me sick, but I can’t afford the deductible.
Copperworks of Sonoma County celebrated their TV presence in the DIY Network’s “House Crashers” show. Their zinc countertop work was featured in a wine room as part of a home remodel in Northern California. Way to go guys, let’s have a drink on you. 😉
One last thing, if you have wondered how to use Twitter to make money, here is one way: http://ad.ly/refer/2076276623
