That brings the number of ponies in the the stable to a bazillion!

The new blog is Andy Jordan's American Journey (from whom I stole the title of this post) which is described by the Journal's Washington Wire thusly:
WSJ’s American Journey Blog: Searching for Economic Stimulus
Washington Wire recommends checking out The Wall Street Journal’s latest blog, American Journey, a one-man multi-media operation headed up by WSJ’s Andy Jordan who is traveling coast to coast in search of “people, communities and companies at the forefront of economic stimulus and the conversion to a greener economy.”

A Thursday post takes a look at President Barack Obama’s proposal to move towards electronic medical records as a way to save on health care costs with a visit to Dr. Patrick Goggin’s office in Cambridge, Ohio, which uses an electronic system.

Axion Power, A company in New Castle, Pennsylvania is replacing some of the lead in the traditional car battery workhouse, the lead-acid battery, with activated carbon. The end result: a battery that lasts up to four times longer, a key battle in building batteries for electric and hybrid cars–something even Steve Jobs hasn’t been able to figure out: building a battery that lasts longer than it takes to watch two movies.
