One of a local technology company's products is hitting the mainstream consumer market. Research Triangle Park's Cree, who specializes in solid state lighting products, now has one of their components featured on the Home Depot shelves (and web site). I love technology like this — looking to innovate in the spaces of energy efficiency, without compromising on reliability or quality of the light produced.
If the promised long life and low power draw numbers are true, this could be a big energy savings in the long term. Follow the link below to check out the product at HomeDepot.com.
Now that I've got a new machine at home, I've got iMovie on my computer and iPhone, and we've got a couple sources for recording high res video, I see myself recording more video — mainly of our little 11 month old who's now mobile and getting into everything. To supplement the video, and add a little ambiance, background sound effects can really help polish your video projects. Thanks to Lifehacker, I stubbled onto the Freesound Project, which has a bunch of creative commons-licensed sounds for you to use on a whim.
For all of you local racers, just wanted to post the details for this year's Carolina Cup, straight from race director, Dale Brown:
We are all excited about the 38th Annual CAROLINA CUP on Sunday September 12th in the Greensboro Country Park…
News:
- Through the initiative of event Sponsor Green Creations, for the start of the Pro cat 1 & 2 event, the top race of the day, there will be a solemn lap in memory of our lost friends, Adam Little and David Sherman, both of which were familiar faces at The Cup.
- The total race "purse" rises to $5,500.00 in cash plus misc merchandise prizes.
- There will be a new 1 lap single speed race, an open event which should excite the many fans of single speed Fixie bikes. (fixed gear bikes will need a working front brake, freewheel bikes will need two brakes.)
- As always, The Cup provides a perfect day in the Park for family and friends to enjoy the true southern Classic, the longest running bike race in the south, The CAROLINA CUP!
How many times have you actually said, "man, it's great being a Time Warner Cable customer?" You can probably count on one hand, while still making a fist. But, this sounds promising. Time Warner is supposedly developing an app for the iPad to stream television content — both live and on-demand stuff. Now if I only had an iPad. Hopefully, it'll get released for the iPhone as well.
Here's a cool little patent gem, with its owner being none other than Edward Van Halen. I love the illustration with its patent.
Like everything else Ed has added to guitar-related technology, it looks like this patent was filed for an accessory that came around from his constant want/need to innovate and keep maximizing his tools of the trade.
Yet another good little list from Bicycling.com. I really would get an outdoor ride in, than a couple of these suggestions that center around indoor trainers. Personally, my trainer bike hasn't been touched in months and months, while both my Allez and Tarmac have been seeing a lot of action — especially before work or during lunch, like the article suggests.
Bicycling.com has another great article about fitness rules you've heard in the past that are completely cool to break — some only with only select training goals in mind. Regardless, a lot of good info in the article linked below.
The news that every Van Halen cares about most is buried at the absolute bottom of their newest press release — in the last sentence it confirms that Van Halen with Roth as lead singer are currently in the studio recording for an album to be released in 2011. It's obviously beating a dead horse, but it'll be Wolfgang on bass, not original bassist, Michael Anthony. Regardless, I am so psyched to get a whole album of content finally from the Van Halen camp. It's been years since a new album. Depending on how you accept Van Halen, it will have been 13 years (Gary Cherone fronted "3" album ), 16 years (Sammy Hagar fronted "Balance" album) or a whopping 27 years since a full album with David Lee Roth.
It's nice to see Gmail continuing to do a little more evolution of its look and feel. While the screenshot featured in the article below isn't revolutionary, but any stretch of the imagination, it is evolutionary, and I'd welcome the changes if they ever leave Google's campus.
