Kick the Oil Habit!

Is it possible to build a coast-to-coast road trip across the entire U.S.A. using nothing but E-85 (ethanol-based) fuel? My good friend Mark Pike (Duke '04) thinks so. To prove it, he organized a trip, which held its kick-off event in D.C., with a sweet personal introduction by none other than Senator Barack Obama.


As the boys passed through Chicago, they stopped to spread the word at a Cubs game. Knowing it would be good for their popularity, they offered me a free ticket and a Best's Kosher dog in return for my celebrity endorsement.

Check out their history-making road-trip (and possible documentary film!) at kicktheoilhabit.org/roadtrip

I got a job in Japan!

I'm leaving on July 24th to live in Tokyo for a year!

I will spend one year working for a cool language school called Knock Knock English. I will be teaching English to Japanese kids ages 2-12. The company is especially awesome, because it focuses on developing fun, creative stuff like Super Simple Songs. In short, this job is going to rule.

Hit me up if you or anybody else I know will be in/around Tokyo, or if there's any chance you'll be in Japan between July 2006 and July 2007.

Whoa! Life's cool!
