Hiya All,

Here are some sites that caught my attention recently:

trike

water torch


engine

kite-wing

I'm going to be hosting computer building & repair parties this summer, as well as a "Do-It-Yourself" series on wifi mesh networks. I'm also planning on starting my wallking cart project...stay tuned for more design-related fun!

Second Life

2Life is very wierd, but a cool way to chat with friends online...I used to use the ol HeavyGear2 game from Activision to chat b4 IM really hit the scene--

Now I'm a Google Talk junkie, pay ZERO for telco charges, and am thinking about doing 501(c)(3) consulting in 2Life...

YES!!!

I want one of those trikes. The all electric is awesome. I didn't see any cost yet, must still be in the concept level. Very cool Chad, thanks.

chad,

keep the links coming, I like'em!

The Venture trike looks pretty cool. Searching a bit on the net, looks like a release date late in 2008 for the USA. And the E50 at a price of 18,000.00, the EV at 23,000.00 and the Q100 somewhere in-between.

And although I'm not certain, it appears the hybrid is a true plug-in hybrid, so on short trips you can be completely electric. All this at a good price with reasonable range.

It may just be the ticket for us as a retirement car.

...so, what is your take on the kite-wing? should OlyBlog get an aquatic version for the caiman patrol this season? ;-)
