Mobile Payments

Tired of having so much stuff in your pockets? Well, as always, we can look to Japan as a technological innovator. Next month trials will begin to test the use of mobile phones for subway fare payment. No worries about dialing up the right screen or sending off a text message, the entire transaction will be handled by a small chip manufactured by Sony. Just wave the phone at the turnstile and go. Widespread launch is expected by the beginning of next year.

Banff Mountain Film Festival

The Banff Mountain Film Fest is an awesome mix of mountain culture, and eco-awareness videos that tours the country every year. It orignates at the Banff Centre in Banff Canada, but comes down every year, and in Ogden, is sponsored by the Snowbasin Ski Team. Click HERE for dates and tickets.

Sorry...

Haven't been any posts lately, I know. Things have been kind of up in the air with my move back to Ogden, getting my new MacBook, and starting school. So anyways... stay tuned for "hopefully" daily-updates.

Out with the old, in with the new

Guess what I got....

Cooool...

Who said you can't disco on your keyboard?!?!

Actually, we don't think anyone did.

But if someone did, we'd roll up our Bendi Light-up Keyboard and smack some electric blue sense into them. The light-up keyboard features soft-touch, quick tactile action, which is quieter and more comfortable than traditional hard plastic keyboards. Made of silicone, the Bendi is flexible, virtually indestructible, and waterproof.

Waterproof - that's for those times you disco on your keyboard in the pool.

Also comes in pink and white.

Urbines

Urbines. That's what World Architecture News labels urban wind turbines; neat neologism.

Ben Coleman of Hamiltons Architects says that to optimise power, "integrate turbines into the design of tall buildings in such a way that the contours of the building envelope focus wind on to the turbine blades, much like the casing around a gas or water turbine." They are doing this at Castle house, a 43 storey, 408 unit apartment building at Elephant and Castle in Southwark, London. "Three 9m wind turbines integrated into the top of the building are expected to generate sufficient power to drive the energy efficient lighting to the building, an integral part of the sustainable credentials for the building as a whole."

The Cliffs of Insanity!

This is some of the most insane mountain biking on the planet, The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. It may look familiar to you as “The Cliffs of Insanity” from the film, The Princess Bride. The updrafts can be strong enough to make a biker weightless, but at least they’re wearing helmets...

Babes. Eating Lemons.

Nuff said. Hee hee hee....
