We currently have a couple items for sale-

-The first is the IZIP Ezgo foldable electric bicycle.

Price: $300 OBO

IZIP is a Folding electric bicycle with DC brushless geared hub motor and rechargeable battery*. It has a range of 18 to 25 miles per charge with a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour. It has Easy-to-use twist throttle; GS comfort suspension saddle for comfort. Bike has folding frame for easy transport and storage. Heavy-duty alloy 16-by-1.75-inch rims with stainless-steel spokes.

- Bike is being sold since I hardly ride bikes anymore but it was fun to ride the few months I did use it to commute.

*ATTENTION: The battery for this bike needs to be replaced. The core battery has been recycled and the casing emptied. I recommend taking it to Scoot on This LLC for a replacement.

-The second is a recliner that has been pretty well used but still decent shape. The back doesn’t sit at a 90 degree angle but it still works pretty decently.

Google Voice, for those of you who don’t know, is a project by Google in which you either pick out a Google phone #, and with it will come extras, or you can use the phone # you already have.  Some pretty cool features like voicemail to your inbox and transcription of them as well.  It’s worth a look- https://www.google.com/voice

  Well for many of us I’m sure that it does. If you enjoyed playing some of those old BBS (Bulletin Board System) games then for a little nostalgia there are many of those games still going strong online via Telnet or through Java. One that I enjoyed playing was the L.O.R.D. game (by Seth Able) as the interface was easy and had a good following. Do a search online and see what favorite games you can find again. Share a comment of any bbs games you enjoyed.

Well quite possibly- The University of California is back in action again with their radio-controlled beetle. Through a series of implants in different parts of the beetle the team has been able to start and stop flight of the beetle as well as control left and right turning.

Military factions have always been at work on various new technologies. One newer technology coming out is exoskeletons for soldiers. These skeletons provide super human abilities such as lifting heavy weights with ease, running for prolonged periods without breaking a sweat and also climbing stairs with no effort. The link shows the exoskeleton in action.

In Japan Tokyo University is focusing some efforts on being able to provide a costly piece of equipment for farmers. The armor has a costly tag of around 10,000 U.S. dollars and is said to be able to provide strength and support for the joints of the farmers. Although I think that a power suit would be cool, I can’t imagine a farmer in Japan buying such spendy piece of hardware just to help save joint pains. They really should have hired Wu Yulu who is an inventor in China that made his very on robot that pulls him around. The link tells more of Wu Yulu.

If you desire to upgrade your pictures value then you may want to invest in lighting gear. Many options are available on the internet and in local camera shops. The first thing that you, as the photographer, should do is look over various photos that are in your portfolio and figure out if you would do them any differently had you invested in lighting equipment beforehand.

If you have a Canon camera and aren’t afraid to change it’s firmware then perhaps you might be interested in the CHDK project. Essentially it is a new camera “software” upgrade, not officially supported by Canon, and it will open up many new features to do with your camera that maybe is getting a bit dull.
