Ive ordered two things for my fixie build from Velosolo now, A clever little cog that turns my rear disk hub into a fixed wheel, and a 44 tooth chainring. Both are of outstanding quality and look amazing!

I love these guys, really fast delivery, detailed website and lovely little notes on the invoice they send you thanking you for buying.

Unfortunaley the chainring I bought was the wrong size... I emailed the sales department and they were more than happy to give my money back. I'd prefer to swap it for my size but my cranks are an odd size, a size not many people do. Pretty gutted because its a killer chain ring!

The disk cog I bought is awesome, super light and strong. Probably the best thing I've ever bought for a bike. It just works. 

Anyone looking for parts for fixies or single speed should definatley check them out, One of a kind products with outstanding service.

If you click on www.apple.com/finalcutserver you get to the FCP X page.

I had heard that Apple might “open source” it but their web site is currently very muted about it.

Looks like it might be the end of the road for the product we once knew as Artbox and then became FCS / Final Cut Server?

If you drink coffee—if you drink any hot beverage—you're familiar with the phenomenon: It's too hot at first and burns your tongue. Then, before you know it, it's cooled to become a tepid, tasteless brew.

Well, behold the Joulie, these little things sit in the bottom of your cup or travel mug. Each Joulie has "a special non-toxic material sealed within the polished stainless steel shell." That material melts at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. When it does, it absorbs thermal energy, as the material solidifies again, it releases said energy. The upshot for you? Your coffee or tea cools to a drinkable temperature much more quickly and stays warm "twice as long."

To test their idea, the two Daves made 100 Joulies by hand and tried to raise money on Kickstarter. Their initial goal was $9,500. They ended up raising more than $300,000. So the idea's a hit. They've now moved to Sherrill, New York, to start the manufacturing process. You can't buy Joulies yet, but you can get on a mailing list via their website. When they are available, they'll go for $50 for a set of five.

Congratulations on a brilliant and simple idea.

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Preparedness, the federal agency that bills itself as "your online source for credible health information" released a guide to preparing for the zombie apocalypse.

The point, for the CDC, was to raise awareness about the upcoming hurricane season, and encourage people in vulnerable areas to have flashlights and food and water on hand. As one spokesman told Reuters: "If you prepare for the zombie apocalypse, you'll be prepared for all hazards."

Once upon a time, “digital 35mm” was at best an expensive pipe dream and at worst an oxymoron.

That may seem ridiculous to contemplate now, given how far both sensor and compression technology have come in the past few years and how economies of scale have sent that technology hurtling toward the mass market. Based on the entire RED product line, the advent of HDSLR and the successful recent launches of Sony’s “Super35″ sensors and other more affordable cine-style camcorder technology, shooters now expect to produce film-like images with pixel counts in the millions, work tapelessly in a file-based pipeline and do it all without taking out a second mortgage.

The latest to play off the “digital 35″ buzz is the PS-Cam X35 from P+S Technik. Billed primarily as a “reliable all-purpose camera” it features, if we assume correctly from its name, resolutions similar to 35mm and all the advantages we’ve come to expect from smaller-scale digital cameras.
