Glow in The Dark Bike at Stuff.tv

by Mika

I remember seeing the Stuff mag on Hydro’s desk, and was just browsing around for stuff (not “Stuff”, but rather plain old “stuff”) online and ran across their website at Stuff.tv.

Taking a page from Sean, I thought to myself, “what’s the best?” and clicked over onto their Top 10 gadgets page (lo and behold, it says “What’s the best” on that page too) to see what that was all about and then to gadget reviews when I ran across this weird Puma glow-in-the dark bike.

One could make a case for the safety factor, (PK, it’s perfect for you!) but I think that’s pretty much negated by the dork factor. That probably means that someone here in Portland would love it, considering all those weird bikes I see people riding all the time. But at 825 quid, I doubt any real edgy person could afford it, so it’s going to be left up to just the hipsters.

The Glow-Rider also folds for easy storage while traveling, so you can take it with you on a flight to Amsterdam since cars in that city are pretty much worthless unless you get one of these Canta cars.

I do have to say though, that for a folding bike, this actually looks pretty cool - too bad it glows.

Best Scientific Calculator?

by Mika

Some of my friends may already know this, but I used to be a draftsperson / mechanical engineer trainee. When I was going to school, we used the old Texas Instruments engineering calculator although most of our time was spent figuring out how to program them for games.

I started searching around for a good calculator, and then started wondering what’s the best engineering calculator now days? (That’s such a Seanism: “What’s the best?!) These things look like microcomputers which are no doubt way more powerful that my old laptop used to be back in that day - even with all 133mhz of power that it used to have.

Anyway, I’m not looking to go back to engineering and even if I was, I’d be no good at it since my math skills are pretty much toast after not using them for years but I do want to pick up a new calculator and was thinking about something that would be more than just a standard one, and those engineering calculators have a nice big screen on them so you can see the history of what you’re doing.

Wonder if someone has any suggestions? Paul, Greg? You guys are kind of savvy, what do you think?
