: Technology, technology! So many gadgets, so little money! ;-)
:
: I have updated our blog, (linked below), with a couple of new
: techno-baubles. The first is the LightLane, and laser taillight that
: projects your own personal bike lane behind you complete with a bike lane
: symbol! How cool is that!
:
: In the same article, I also included the HindSight camera and LCD that
Jeff
: Spahn mentioned, (with due credit to Jeff and a link to his fine site,
: natch!) This thing is so cool I may just have to have one IN SPITE of my
: anti-mirror stance!
:
: Finally, our daughter, Cheyenne, recently dropped her cell phone into a
: creek, so Maggi got a new one! (That's the way those things work, you
see!)
: She got the new T-Mobile G(oogle)1. This thing is so "over the top"
: technologically, I figure in about a month we'll begin to have a handle on
: all that it will do. But there are lots of features on it or free
: applications for it that would appear to be of benefit to many touring
: cyclists. Like one that apparently utilizes some sort of GPS tagging so
you
: can find your way back to your hotel, (or your tandem), while piddling or
: peddaling around an unfamiliar city. Also access to Google maps, star
maps,
: yada, yada, yada!
:
: I was hoping, since we have a Google employee on here who also happens to
be
: a touring cyclist, PIAW, we could get a better view on these new
: Google-enabled phones and the features/apps that are likely to be of
benefit
: to the wandering cyclist.
