His three-year-old compact one-seater is small enough to park in the tightest of spots, and apparently goes from 0 to 60 in four seconds! That's pretty darn fast, but not as fast as my heartbeat after seeing him in this photo. So dapper, so earth friendly, so freaking hot!
I Want One: Garmin Bike GPS Bike riding isn't just a workout — it's an adventure. I'm so tempted to explore roads I've never been on, but I worry about getting lost. A regular ol' bike computer just won't cut it. That's why I really want this Garmin Edge 705 ($407.12). I know it's pricey but check out what it can do.
Ahhh, philosophy! Today I tackle the question: If it's ugly, will you carry it? Laptop bag manufacturer Skooba has started producing bags, which will be TSA approved and can be carried through airport security so you won't have to remove your laptop from them. Awesome, right? Except, um, they're pretty fug.
Here's the thing. I've been schlepping a laptop through airport security for a long time, and I've got it down. Whether it's a sleeve or a separate laptop bag, I can breeze through security because I'm ready to unlock and unload. The point is: If this fabulously convenient no-remove laptop bag stays unattractive, I can leave it. Call me vain, shallow, whatever. You see how I drool over sexy laptop bags here all the time, so why would I suddenly switch because I'm saved a millisecond in the security line?
But am I alone? What would you pick, especially in the realm of the security line: Convenience or attractiveness?
Lord knows I have been Googling in vain for a couple years now for an online service that would convert my own designs into a fabric I could sew with. Ladies and gents, that day has come! New website Spoonflower is promising to do just that!
Though it's currently in beta, right now you can add your email to a list to receive an invitation (mine's in; fingers are crossed). Regardless, I am so psyched. Being something of a crafty geek, I can't wait to throw together some custom designs for home stuff as well as DIY laptop sleeves and monitor covers!
A yard is about $18, which if you sew, you know is a leetle pricey but not terrible (plus, it's custom, so hello!). Need more convincing? Check out the flickr pool of some awesome designs!
It's not every day I come across something that is no-strings-attached free! And the best part is that this freebie will actually teach you something — tech related! If you want to brush up on your digital photography skills, Hewlett Packard is offering free HP online classes on a variety of topics such as basic tips about digital cameras to online photo editing.
One class that would probably be quite helpful for a lot of geeks is the Adobe Photoshop for photographers class. In this class you will learn how to make enhancements and corrections to pics as well as experiment with some special effects.
Enrollment for this class starts June 4 and runs until July 31. There will be two lessons each week and the class will end August 8.
