Nothing Left to Lose - Mat Kearney

Video here.

Something’s in the air tonight
The sky’s alive with a burning light
You can mark my words something’s about to break
And I found myself in a bitter fight
While I’ve held your hand through the darkest night
Don’t know where you’re coming from but you’re coming soon
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I’ve ever known or seen
Come on and we’ll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we’ll try, one last time
I’m off of the floor one more time to find you
And here we go there’s nothing left to choose
And here we go there’s nothing left to lose
So I packed my car and headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There’s a fire in these hills that’s coming down
And I don’t know much but I found you here
And I can not wait another year
Don’t know where you’re coming from but you’re coming soon
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I’ve ever known or seen
Come on and we’ll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we’ll try, one last time
I’m off of the floor one more time to find you
And here we go there’s nothing left to choose
And here we go there’s nothing left to lose
I can still hear the trains out my window
From Hobart Street to here in Nashville
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
And I don’t know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we’ll go
Come on and we’ll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we’ll try, one last time
I’m off of the floor one more time to find you
And here we go there’s nothing left to choose
And here we go there’s nothing left to lose

Canadian SMS service

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:33:16 -0800

Don’t be too sad, Canada. Here in USA, I stopped Twitter SMS outbound because Verizon’s SMS fee hikes.

twitterstatus:

Unexpected changes in our billing have forced us into a difficult situation with our Canadian SMS service. We can’t afford to support this service given our current arrangement with our providers (where costs have been doubling for the past several months.) As a result, effective today we are no longer delivering outbound SMS over our Canadian shortcode (21212).

The ability to update Twitter over SMS will still be supported over 21212. But we know that this is only part of the experience and we want to make Twitter work in the way folks want … regardless of where they live.

There is a realistic, scalable SMS solution for Canada (and the rest of the world.) We’re working on that and will post more details on the Twitter blog as we make progress.

Guitar Hero on a bike?

Although commendable, this dedication for a sensation is such a waste of energy.

(via Miss at la Playa) Vogue Paris did a feature showcasing the same model made-up and photographed for every decade of her life. The two here show the model at 10 years and 60 years old, but if you click through, you can see the intervening decades. However, she’s actually the same age in each photo. It’s really quite remarkable.

“A true leader does not want followers; he wants to teach others how to be leaders. He does not want control; he wants the truth. He does not impose his leadership on others, nor does he take away anyone’s autonomy. He inspires by love, not coercion. When it comes time to take credit, he makes himself invisible; but he is the first to arrive at the time of need, and he will never shrink away in fear. He is so passionate about your welfare that when you consult him for guidance, it is like coming face to face with yourself for the first time.”

Saved By Zero Ad by Toyota.

Time magazine claimed it’s an annoying ad. It’s actually quite good. I would’ve bought a Toyota if I haven’t already bought a Honda this year.

For the awesome original soundtrack by The Fixx, it’s available here.
