| | | 6 hours ago | Caffeine High: Is It Time to Start Hoarding Coffee Beans? | | Harvests have been weaker than expected. Inventories are down to ominously low levels. And the rest of the world is drinking more coffee, meaning there's less left over for the U.S.
If you're one of the millions who can't get by without a good cup of joe in the morning, do you need to start worrying about what's going on in the coffee market?
Perhaps you shouldn't read this until you've had your first cup, but wholesale coffee prices have skyrocketed on fears that global supply will fall short of demand.
In plain English: There's a worldwide coffee shortage. No kidding. |

| | | 24 hours ago | Retro Car Goes From Canada to Mexico On a Single Tank | | Energy efficiency has only recently become a popular concern among vehicle owners, but some people have been thinking about it for a long, long time. Craig Henderson and Bill Green designed the Avion, a fuel-efficient sports car, in 1984. Two years later, the vehicle set the Guinness World Record for fuel economy, getting an average of 103.7 mpg all the way from the Mexico border to the British Columbia, Canada,
border. Now Henderson has revived the Avion for another jaunt from Canada to Mexico.The latest iteration of the vehicle is just 1500 pounds and features an aluminum monocoque frame, a carbon fiber, kevlar and fiberglass body, and Goodyear "Fuel Max" tires. After receiving a sponsorship deal from Goodyear, Henderson decided to go from border to border once again--this time, on a single tank of gas. Jalopnik reports that Henderson began his latest journey on August 29th. He stopped only to go to the bathroom, grab food, and catch a night's rest. The result: Henderson burned only 12.4 gallons on his journey to the Mexican border for a fuel economy of 119.1 mpg, breaking his own Guinness World Record from 1986. (He drove at a pretty constant 55 mph.) Henderson is gearing up for limited commercial production of the Avion. If our fascination with fuel economy is any indication, he won't have any trouble selling it. Below, check out a video about the Avion from 1982.[youtube umDk0_01nmY]

| | | | | Sep 7, 2010 | The Fundeds Adeo Ressi Arrested After Virgin America Incident | | The Funded founder Adeo Ressi was arrested and briefly detained earlier this evening over an altercation with a flight attendant. The airline? Virgin America, which Ive been holding up as virtually the only airline that doesnt suck (See Virgin Airlines Fails To Commit Atrocities On Flight VX746 and Delta Flight 1843 From JFK To Hell).
Ressis description of the incident is below, and he has sent this to Virgin, he tells me. Ive reached out to Virgin America for their position.
I cant help but note the similarities with Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater, who has now been rewarded for his behavior with a reality tv show. The worse the flight attendant, the better the chance for fame and glory, I guess.
You posted something nice about Virgin America a little over a week ago. I actually agreed until I was briefly and wrongly arrested as a result of a stressed out flight attendant today.
I am horrified by the incident on VX22 today, after flying over 70,000 miles with the company. Here are the details.
I was on flight VX22 in seat 2B, First Class, under the name Adeodato Gregory Ressi di Cervia. My company, the Founder Institute, is enrolling hundreds of entrepreneurs from eight cities into the incubator, so I was working before taking off. I shut everything down when the cabin door was shut, and started working again when the Internet was turned on at 10,000 feet, reviewing founder applications.
The first class steward, the ITL, served some food, but otherwise ignored passengers. There was a young stewardess in the back of the plane that brought me two ginger ails, some nuts, and Pringles. It was strange that the steward ignored passengers, focusing his attention on a baby in the font row, but I didnt really notice much, since I was busy.
As we started to descend, the captain came on and asked everyone to shut down computers and electronic devices. The ITL walked down the isle immediately following the captains announcement and tapped my computer to indicate that |
