Bob Sled
A full-body BuggyRollin suit that turns the wearer into a human luge/transformer that can reach speeds of up to 70 mph (on steep slopes).
Wow.
Wanderlust
Good Magazine has mapped out some of the worlds greatest journeys.
Drum And Bassycle
The Stereobike Crew in Queens, New York, are pimping out their BMX bikes with thumpin’ sound rigs. With names like Tinnitus Rex and Frankenbike, the rigs are constructed using car stereo speakers and amps with millions of watts.
Someone has made a film about them, which I’m hoping is a little bit like Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Blost And Alone
If you’re a ‘blogger’, you’ll likely know what I’m talking about. I am tired, having just traveled for a day to get here and although the wheels are turning, I am upside down.
I hope I can get back to posting irrelevant stuff tomorrow.
Meanwhile here’s a link to the ace http://aaronrutledge.com/ (not saying that the stuff there is irrelevant, just that it’s something to look at). You know what I mean.
Yes. Peroni.
Tooble Maps
Nice London transport/journey planner site that not only has reliable up-to-date info, but integrates the tube map with Google so you can see the geographical location of stations.
Round London With An iPod
25 songs about our city…
Twat Nav
This Knight Rider GPS has voice prompts recorded by William Daniels, the voice of KITT, and apparently when turned on asks “Hello Michael, where do you want to go today?” I can definitely see Hasselhoff getting one for his Austin Ambassador.
Get yours here.
Moto Backpack
The Yamaha Deus Ex is an ‘exo-skeleton’ with seven artificial vertebra as well as a pneumatically attached helmet (how the f*@k do you pneumatically attach a helmet..?). If you were wondering about the machine, the motor is in-wheel, powered by ultra-capacitors and doped nano-phoshpate batterie similar to those already used in hybrids.!?
What that means is that this ‘exo-skeleton’ backpack item is capable of 0–60mph in three seconds and has a top speed of 75mph.
mobiEXPLORE

New York Times Machine

Bird Man
I want one of these…
Street View Directions
Google Maps Street View has now been integrated into the Google Maps driving directions.
Cunning.
Geo Sim Philly
Virtual Philadelphia ia pretty much that; a carbon copy of Philly only on-line. It features (amongst other things), Human Interaction and E-Shopping (wow). The former enables you to be seen by other “Virtual” Philadelphia users, and communicate with them. The latter allegedly provides you with the experience of “real shopping”, by combining e-commerce with a true-to-life city model.
Sounds lazy, but fairly rubbish.

Finnair Are Rubbish
If you read this blog regularly you’ll be aware of my somewhat dim view of Finnair. This morning my flight was delayed (again), so I decided to write the above on as many sick bags as I could.
I wrote on 3…
