Dr. Dre Beats Tour

I have been using the same old pair of Sony monitor headphones for 7 years now, in that time I have broken both adjustment pieces. If you were to take a look you would see Super Glue and Tape, a sad attempt to keep them together. I have gone through 3 pairs of apple iPod headphones (not the best) wither the cables broke or they simple died.

I started to look at headphones and ideally wanted to avoid ear buds. Since I am a bike commuter I cannot ware monitor headphones and a helmet at the same time.…

Tweetlite: A twitter visualization cube

Adam Patterson — Sun, 03 May 2009 18:46:01 +0000

Tweetlite is a white plexiglass cube, 4” x 4” x 4” in dimensions. It is powered by Arduino and displays twitter messages as morse code. Each message is displayed in different colors and makes for a great mood light. It has USB and power connectivity and comes with a program that is used to enter Twitter credentials to enable the data feed visualization. It needs to be connected to a computer with an Internet connection, via USB. The patterns and colors can be customized.

I saw these cool steeping tea mugs while at Chapters, I love tea and have a number of loose teas so this seamed perfect for me. I only wish I had bought one when I had the chance as I can not find them there any more.

The diffuser sits in the top of the cup allowing the loose tea float around and do its tasty thing. The diffuser can then sit on the lid to avoid the messy tea drips.

They have an assortment of really nice colours to choose from as well. Check them out @…

MSR – Mutha Hubba

Last year i bought the Sierra Designs: Buku 2 the 2 meaning 2 people, so that wont work with Aiden. This year we bought the MSR Mutha Hubba a spacious 3 person tent. much easier to set up than the Buku 2.

Our last tent was about 3.5 pounds and it was a comfy single person tent or cozy 2 person tent, the new tent weights in at around 6 pounds, and packs up nice and small. Impressive. The Mutha Hubba is a perfect car camping tent but it doesn’t have to be shon to the trunk,…

Sierra Designs: Baku 2

I bought my self a new tent the other day, the Sierra Designs Buku2. Must say I’m impressed with it. Super light its a cozy tent (smaller), many improvements over the old tent. mostly its packed size and weight. This tent wont break your back at a max weight of 5lb, its a single walled tent so it calls under the category of ultralight hybrid. I set it up in my living room and for a new tent took under 5 min to have to up and ready.

My one recommendation is to purchase new tent pegs.…

Chopsticks

I bought these collapsible camping chopsticks from snow peak and received a lot of flack from my wife and friends. They all thought it was silly. I thought it was the coolest thing ever and what better to try them then my past camping trip. (It was a 2 hour hike in the dark by head lamp in the mud with a 30Lb+ pack crossing glacial rivers then going back to get Kristi and giving her a lift.) I ate mashed potatoes with curry noodles and it worked perfect. I had hot chocolate after that…
