Go-Ped Factory Tour

in , , , ,

I'm a fan of alternative transportation (vs regular gasoline powered cars).  Personal transportation in particular is one that I feel more people can improve upon in their lives.  Does it really make sense to drive a 2 ton vehicle out for a local trip to the grocery store or rent movies?  What a waste!

Sadly, at least in most of California, I see few people using alternative transportation for such short local trips.  I've seen one segway, a few bicycles used by some staff, a motorcycle every now and then, and a handful of people who walk from across the street here in So. Cal.

Go-ped goes a long way into making personal transportation fun and practical.  They recently released a line of bulletproof kick scooters that I think everyone should consider in an urban / city / metropolitan environment.

Enjoy the factory tour!

Sanyo Eneloops Are Still #1

People that already use them know how great they are.  Forget all the other NiMH batteries, these are #1 after all these years.  I've tried all sorts of different batteries and cells.  The best ones are always the ones that are made in Japan, but even then these are the best of the crop.

AT&T, What Are You Thinking?

Sure, you (Cingular) helped to bring us the iPhone when the other carriers wouldn't put their trust in Apple.  You gave us the fastest 3G data speeds for a while.  You even attempted to give us an unlimited data plan for an unheard of price with the announcement of the first iPad.

But your cell tower coverage is seriously lacking.  I get at least one dropped call a day, and I had to get my own Microcell just so that I could get reception at home.  You took away the unlimited data plan from the iPad less than two months since launch.

Now Verizon has the iPhone too, and their 4G LTE speeds leave your 3G in the dust.  You have just limited your unlimited data plan you promised to us early iPhone adopters by throttling it.  You are threatening to bill us for tethering our data plans.  That's like the cable company asking us to pay for each tv we hook up in our house.  Your cell coverage still sucks. 

Explain to me again why I should stay loyal to you when my contract is up?
