If it’s one thing that annoys me it’s when bikes and frames are sold for hundreds (and sometimes nearing the thousand dollar mark) for products that are mass produced in a sweat factory in Asia by 10 year olds. Ok, I know, I know, huge stereotype there, but part of that sentence is true. All these manufacturers - unless explicitly implied - get their bikes made from two large factories in Taiwan. One of which built frames for a buddy of mine.
Instead of over-inflating the cost for maximum screwage , I love it when a company keeps it real and offers up a product at a realistic cost. Such is the case of the 2009 Scramber from EigthInch.

As a simple commuter, slow pace, A-to-B, rides with friends/partner/wife/husband/companion/dog this is a great bike. Upright riding position means it’s low stress on the back and hands. I’d give the thumbs up on this for anyone that just wants to take it easy and enjoy a nice stroll. And I mean, c’mon how nice does that look? Continue Reading »
Smule’s Ocarina is an app that turns your iPhone into a 12,000 year old ancient musical device. There are no tutorials; just blow into your microphone and start playing.
Ocarina also has a social element. “Tap on the globe icon and you will see and hear other Ocarina players throughout the world.”
While I’m not musically inclined, plenty of users are. The forum is full of sheet music from users all over.
This app is brilliant in so many ways. Check out some of Smule’s other innovative apps:Sonic Vox and Sonic Lighter.
