Meetings

On By Rick McIn humour, philosophyLeave a comment

One of the many things I’ve “dropped” from my life as much as possible are meetings. More often than not they are an excuse for not doing something.

Great things are more easily accomplished by individuals. Or small, informal collaborations.

With so many considering getting an iPod or iPhone over the holidays, here’s a timely spoof.

Just because I broke my hand last year riding a bike, carrying a Slurpee, doesn’t mean drinking hot coffee while riding is a bad idea

mornrushongrv.jpgMorning Rush Coffee Mug & Holder. Take away the spills and thrills of riding with coffee.

  • Stainless steel mug holder ring mounts to mountain bike or road bars.
  • Stainless steel commuter mug holds up to 16 oz. of coffee or tea. Slide button lid means you can open the cap and take a swig with one hand.
  • Mount is from Cat Eye, so in the evening you can replace it with a Cat Eye HL-500II headlight if you so desire.

    • Bike Coffee Holder

    Smart Cycle from Fisher-Price

    Engadget humorously sends up a “fitness” Christmas present:

    if you’re going to make children go through all the trouble of freakin’ exercise to obtain your sinister educational wares, we say you’ve gone too far. The new $100 Fisher-Price Smart Cycle … plugs directly into a television and allows its unwitting pupils to hop aboard the bike, fire away at the pedals, and attempt to steer into items on screen such as letters or numbers in an arcade-style racing game. Mattel even trotted out Richard Simmons to show off the wares
