W Goes for the W in the X Prize


I got the scoop from my friend's wife that his West Philly Hybrid X Team, which is one of 43 finalists in the Progressive Automotive X Prize, will be featured on the Today Show this morning at 8 am. Team members had been interviewed by Jenna Bush earlier this month.

If you want the skinny on this team to beat, check out an old post of mine, or, better yet, hear it straight from one of the team members, who got to speak to the Congressional Black Caucus last month. Then root, root, root for our city kids, the only high school crew in the competition, to take home first place. West-side!
