All I want for Xmas

KORG KAOSSILATOR

He snappily titled Kaossillator is the latest in Korg's range of Kaoss Pad-based products. The palm-sized unit is described by Korg as a 'dynamic phrase synthesizer', and is designed for "untrained musical enthusiasts", DJs and performers.
On-board the yellow-bodied Kaossillator are 100 synth programs, derived from Korg's Modelling Synthesizer Engine, as well as Kaoss Pad-derived effects. Patches include a swathe of what Korg call "classic" synth sounds, plus "faithfully simulated" piano, guitar and trumpet sounds, and one-shot drums.

A gate arpeggiator with 50 different patterns can also be called upon to create rhythmic sounds, at user-specified tempos, and pitched patches can be set to play in 31 different scales in any key. The Kaossillator also has a loop recording mode, with which the user can build up a two-bar loop, using the unit's variety of sound sources.

Honda EVO 6 Concept:

"Take a flat-Six 1800cc Gold Wing motor, put it in a minimalist chassis and give it slick, modern styling—think manga by Morbidelli. There’s a single-sided swingarm and the usual electronic instrumentation... Honda uses its all-new 'Human-Friendly Transmission' or HFT. This may be a jump in transmission technology, using hydraulic pressure to efficiently transmit power. It offers a 'D' position for everyday riding (Driving?), an 'S' position (Sport?) for quicker acceleration and a six-speed manual mode, as well."

Car Buying No No's

: We're going to be in the market in the the next year and I hate dealing with car buying. So, here's what not to say. Maybe we should hold off, because at these gas prices we should be getting a golf cart.

The Solution

Swobo Bikes
I wanted to get a road bike, but this might be the closest I can handle.

"The Sanchez is a $599 fixed-gear track bike outfitted with flat bars for the street and the no-brakes, no-coasting fixie groove, but it comes with a "flip-flop" freewheel-compatible hub and a fork drilled to take a front brake."

I'll puss out and get a front brake, because I'm not a hipster bike messenger. And the clincher is that there's a bottle opener in the seat. Here's a review in the Marin Independent.
