Audioblog Home of the Groove, which features "rare, hard to find vintage New Orleans-related R&B and funk tracks," has been modestly streaming for about a month: HOTG Internet Radio - Streams Up.

Read that, then go to Home of the Groove Internet Radio Station. I'm listening to Eddie Bo singing Every Dog Got His Day. Nice touch: On the connect page there's an automatic refresh as the tune changes. You'll see the blog's postings about the artist playing, with photos. (Reload the page if it gets stuck.)

Breakthrough: Magnetic refrigerator needs no electricity. The story is on the official website of the country of Denmark.

The invention will allow for refrigerators to replace existing electric refrigerators in homes and businesses with a fully environmentally friendly power source. Although the first prototype will not be ready until 2010, the project’s researchers say the appliance’s cooling cycle efficiency will be 60 percent greater than that of conventional refrigerators.

The new method uses opposing magnetic fields to increase the temperature of the materials employed. The heat energy is transported through a non-volatile fluid, such as water, and then thermodynamically reversed to a cold temperature. The scientists have already been able to cool a 20°C (68°F) room to 11°C (51.8°F) using the new technology.

These fridges will have one other advantage: The process is silent.

Once upon a times they are a-changin': Dylan projects are blowin' in. USA Today. Overview of the Dylania coming soon, including new footage of Newport '65, when he went electric.

Blog your food: We've launched a Football Food blog in advance of Sunday's Patriots opener in New York against Eric Mangini's Jets. Journal Food Editor Gail Ciampa and are are stocking it, a coupla reporters sent recipes, and you're invited, too.

I haven't written the invitation yet, but it boils down to, "Photograph what you make for your gameday bunch to eat around the TV or in the parking lot. If they loved it, email me the photo and recipe (and credit where you got it). If it's awful, keep it to yourself." You can put just the recipe in comments, too, on the invitation I haven't written yet.
