Throwback Time


2009 Suzuki Dealer Show
Suzuki took their beginner cruiser bike, the GZ250, and made it into a retro UJM style bike called the TU250X and added fuel injection. The quick specs are $3500, Top speed about 70 mph (so you can get on the freeway if you have to), around 80 mpg, and HP of about 20. For a monthly of around $60, sounds like a fun ride around town and definitely would be a fun cafe racer mod.

PS3 + Netflix +Hulu + CBS + more = Sweetness


PlayOn!
This is not just for you foos with the PS3. It also works with the Xbox 360 and early next year, the Wii. I've been watching my Netflix Watch Instantly content and episodes of The Office on Hulu on the 50 inch. It works right off the PS3 menu screen with no hacking. 14 day free trial and $30 to keep it. I'm glad my Roku (only Netflix) is still within the 30 day money back period.

Raver Kids Beware


Russian Ravers Blinded By The Light
A bad combination of outdoor lasers and an indoor rave (forced by weather conditions) left 29 raver kids in varying degrees of blindness, some up to 80%. Good thing they were there for the music. Basically, powerful lasers that were meant to shoot into the night sky were refracting off the huge tent ceiling. Ouch.

Green(er) Living


Review: Testing Sanyo's Eneloop Rechargeable Battery
I've been working have less waste coming out of the house and so I was trying got find a rechargeable battery that would work well. I found the Sanyo Eneloop that comes charged out of the box and stays charged much longer than the current competition. The pack I purchased includes a charger,AA, AAA batteries. It also includes C and D adapter in which the AA batteries are inserted. I don't think it would last as long as a true C or D, but it could be useful in a pinch. StefanV says they store even better in colder temps like a fridge or freezer, and because of their long energy storage qualities they can work well for long term devices like remote controls and clocks. LT approved.

Einstein vs. Religion


Einstein: Religion
"In the letter, dated January 3 1954, he wrote: 'The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.

'No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this...'"
