Pulse: Bamboo Laptop Powered By AsusTek
ok. despite the reason that this laptop has a bamboo casing because it's jumping on the Green/renewable resources/eco-friendly gimmick bandwagon, and my supreme loathing for this latest marketing fad and gimmickry, my love for bamboo supercedes it and i love this.
Debuted in Taiwan last year, i just may keep an eye out for it in 09 and get a job so i can get one of these.
....or do it johnny dangerously style and put bamboo contact paper on my macbook.
One of the things that i've missed from my days in AZ is the lowrider bike culture. Primarily a Latino craft, it's not that prevalent in New Orleans, although i admit that i'm not ingrained in the bike culture here, so I could be totally wrong, because there is a thriving bike culture here despite how bike UN-friendly the streets are here. NOLA has so far to go on this tip. And NOLA is really a great place that could be totally bike-sessible b/c so many peeps are 'hood centric, that riding a bike 'round your own self-contained hood really makes sense.
Today at one of me and mr lizn't's (yes, grammarians all over are freaking out at that) food celebrations, we hit up Juan's Flying Burrito on Magazine St, and what do we see, but this lowrider bike of beauty. Luckily, the owner and builder of the bike comes out, and i am able to grab an on-the-spot interview with him. He hand built the bike, and I was so bike-struck, that I couldn't think of all the questions I should have asked him, like if he does this for others, or if this is just his personal hobby.
At any rate, hit up Juan's, especially now, when the weather is nice enough to sit outside, have a yummy quesadilla, and give your boy Angus props on his ride. Because my little phone cam pics do not do the bike justice at all. (one day, a google Android phone will be mine)

If you are on Nissan's Intelligent key network, you are in the lucky group to now have your intelligent key integrated into your wireless phone.
However, misplace this phone, and you can't go anywhere or call anyone to come and get you. (via CEATEC Japan 2008, which begins September 30)
