  • Honda makes the ultimate Paperboy gaming system

    Honda makes the ultimate Paperboy gaming system

    Bicycle safety wasn't an issue for me growing up. I lived in a quiet suburban subdivision on a cul-de-sac. Plus, my mom is an insurance agent and so she made sure that I always had the latest safety equipment. (E.g. shin pads, wrist pads, elbow pads, helmet, gloves, and a cup) It's a damn good thing that Honda didn't make this bicycle simulator back in the Eighties. She would have shipped the thing in from Japan, and I would have never been able to leave the house.

    Thanko’s new USB gadget: “Action Camera”

    USB gadget specialized Thanko strikes again. This time, the Tokyo-based company gives you a small portable camera [JP] that can be attached to your bike or helmet, for example.

But it can record video at 30fps (in 640 x 480 VGA), weighs just 80g and stores video on MicroSD cards (up to 2GB, the internal memory is 32MB only). Charge the battery for 2.5 hours and you can use the Action Camera for up to 2 hours. Needless to say, there is also a USB 2.0 port (this is a Thanko product, after all).

  • Garmin announces the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV GPS

    Garmin announces the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV GPS

    GPS’s are mostly uninteresting to me since I have little use for one in NYC, so this post is mostly for my brother and his BMW. It’s unclear what the “expanded relationship” is between Garmin and BMW Motorrad, but I’m pretty sure the announcement of the BMW Motorrad Navigator IV GPS is the extent of that whole business.
