Donovan Kealoha :: Living On Aloha Time

My Uncle, Buttons Kaluhiokalani & Donovan Jammin’ in Hawaii

The life of Donovan Kealoha has been an interesting journey from his birthplace in Monroe, Louisiana, to Afghanistan, South Korea, Kuwait, Uzbekistan, and Hawaii. Donovan was raised in north Louisiana by his Louisiana native father and his native Hawaiian mother.

Fresh off the release of his debut CD Standing as One, Donovan Kealoha serves up a tasty concoction of Hawaiian-infused rock. His insightful storytelling, smooth vocals and unique guitar and ukulele rhythms paint a picture of living on aloha time.

Recycle Your Booze With The MicroFueler

Given the way gas prices are going, it might actually be worth it to splurge and drop $9,995 on the eFuel100 MicroFueler. Apparently, this personal ethanol generator can produce up to 35 gallons of ethanol in a week’s time, which can be used to power literally any regular car. All you need to do is plug it in to a water and power source, then add either sugar and yeast or—wait for it—discarded alcohol. That’s right, those moldy Popov Vodka bottles that have been collecting dust in your basement since college could be fueling your car.

The haters will tell you that ethanol is no better than gasoline, but does it really matter? If we could generate unlimited gas for free using a couple bottles of 151, we’d still be burnin’ up the ozone like no tomorrow. After the jump, watch an introductory video for the MicroFueler via YouTube.

“Hollarado”

William Spencer, a grom from Colorado, has signed a deal with MTV to develop a skateboarding stunt series based on his clips on YouTube. It’s the best example we’ve heard yet of a YouTube-to-TV success story; a guy gets picked up to do exactly what he does on YouTube — no changing his act, no guest roles on an existing show, no hosting a online clip show — on a major cable network. The deal was brokered by talent agency ICM, which took Spencer as a client after finding him on YouTube.

Spencer has won a following for his undeniable talent and creative tricks — see the video embedded above where he jumps off buildings onto a skateboard, skates over cars, up walls, and onto other skateboards.

The show, currently being called “Hollarado” (Holla + Colorado), is in the process of being cast in Colorado, and is supposed to air next year. It will follow Spencer and a cast of friends as they challenge each other to perform better and crazier tricks.
