Snappy Electric Bike

So I want to putter on down to the local coffee shop to Twitter and Facebook and write witty, insightful blog postings, but I don't want to kill my as-yet unborn grandchildren by contributing to global warming. What's an oldster to do?

The Amur Leopard would allow me to motor around via electricity, and even has a bit of storage that would permit me to cart my laptop around. Who wants to use a netbook or sling a messenger bag around their torso? That's sooo 2009!

While still a prototype, I'd be interested in test driving one. I wonder how much it would cost to mail a Leopard from China?

Solar Vest - Be a Well-Charged Geek

I thought it was weird when Dockers came out with the pants that had all sorts of pockets in which you could conceal your various and sundry electronic gadgets.

That was apparently only the tip of the nerd fashion iceberg.

I'm all for greening up the world, to the point of contemplating a hybrid for my next car, but I draw the line at walking around in a solar-collecting vest that can charge my personal electronics for me. First of all, too much sun exposure is bad for me long-term. Secondly - it's a solar vest! C'mon, man!

Besides, just how much solar energy can one collect while running for their lives from the bully mobs?
