Impressive street riding in Edinburgh by Danny MacAskill

This video by Dave Sowerby of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill is amazing and has some of the most creative riding ever seen. Thanks to this video, he’s not only leaving his incidental live spectators breathless. And, he’s wearing a helmet. Good boy, Danny.

Only the guys at Gizmodo would do this:

Fox Racing Shox: So many adjustments!

A quick look at the Fox Racing suspension products on my Ellsworth Epiphany. A couple things to note – the shock is actually a Float R, not an RP23. Also, I refer to all products as “Fox Racing Shox” when in reality I’m showing a fork and a shock… Sound good? Well then, on with the show!

Also, a post-ride reaction:

‘Nuff said. Enjoy! Sorry about the dark video, I’m no pro with my MacBook…

Is working from home fun? It is with OfficePOD!

This is an awesome concept: The OfficePOD [http://www.officepod.co.uk]

I would move to the UK if an employer there would hire me and give me one of those. Ya hear that, UK? I will move to you.

How is technology changing our lives?

I’m sure many (or most) of you have already seen this, but still, it gives me goosebumps almost every time I watch it. What an interesting look at the way technology affects us all. Hmm, I wonder what our kids lives (and gadgets) will be like…

Have you tried TweetDeck?

Not that tweeting is that complex of an operation, nor is my Twitterberry application ever that far out of reach, but I am excited for my Adobe Air installation of the TweetDeck beta application (for PC, in this case) to complete. I’ll let you all know how it goes!

Let me know if there are any “better” or lighter apps out there that do the same thing…

How "Live" is Qik?

I often us a free app for my BlackBerry 9000 called “Qik” – it allows me to “broadcast” live video from my phone. However, it never seems to be truly live. There is always a slight delay – but still, really cool for a mobile app! Maybe the delay is due to the not-so-fast Rogers 3G network? Has anyone tried this on AT&T in the States, or Sprint? Or even Telus or Bell here in Canada?

[UPDATE] Hey, where’s the audio? Gonna have to try this again…

OK, so there’s no time stamp… This exercise didn’t help me much!
