Join Rollerman really flies on concrete
You know how certain videos make their rounds on the Internet? For some reason, Rollerman is really getting the hits.
If you have any doubts why, then I suggest hitting the jump and watching it for yourself. I swear, it looks like Superman, if he could only fly a few inches off the ground.
This is possible because the suit has rollers similar to the ones on rollerblades on the front, the back, the shoulders, the arms, and more. This allows for all kinds of extreme speeds (up to 70 mph), in many positions.

Super Bowl XLVI to be streamed live!
For the first time in history, the biggest game in the United States is going to be streamed live to computers and mobile devices.
Here is the catch. If you want to view the championship NFL game of the year on a mobile device, then you had better have a Verizon phone and access to the NFL Mobile app.
I suppose that we should have seen a streaming Superbowl coming, as NBC is already doing web streaming on Sunday Night broadcasts, and they happen to be the network that is televising the big game this year.

Proviz Saturn Bicycle Helmet
If you are an avid cyclist, but can only get your weekday cycling digs on after work, surely you should not be taking any chances on the road, by making sure that your visibility rate is extremely high to the rest of the motorists out there? This is where the £49.99 Proviz Saturn Bicycle Helmet comes in handy, as I always subscribe to the mantra that it is always better to be safe than sorry, and the Proviz Saturn Bicycle Helmet should be able to go some ways in making sure you remain highly visible to others whom you share the road with.
Not only does this helmet look sleek and stylish, it is also bright enough to shame a sunset – OK, it isn’t going to be that extreme, but you can get the picture on just how much brighter it is compared to a regular helmet, can you? This is made possible thanks to integrated LEDs located at the back and front, making it the ideal companion if you tend to scoot through busy traffic under low light conditions. There is also a reflective yellow color that will do its job of catching headlights of oncoming cars, while red and white LEDs informs others on the road on your direction.
SwiMP3 2G Waterproof MP3 Player from FINIS
The other day, I reviewed some waterproof earbuds from Pioneer, and the SwiMP3 2G is a definite step up for swimmers.
The SwiMP3 2G are designed to be clipped to a pair of swimming goggles, and use Bone Conduction. If you haven’t used Bone Conduction, then you really need to try it. I got a chance to try out the SwiMP3, and I could put these guys anywhere on my head to hear the music loud and clear.
In addition to the Bone Conduction feature, the SwiMP3 2G is so named as it holds 2G of storage with 500 songs, or 30 hours of music. Getting tunes on it is as easy as attaching it to a computer via USB, and it plays WMA and MP3 formats, in addition to being iTunes convertible.

FitDesk: Work and exercise are at last combined!
As someone who writes for a living, I am more than concerned about my sedentary lifestyle. You can imagine my excitement when I got a chance to try out the FitDesk.
The FitDesk is a stationary bike that is designed to hold a laptop. Right now, I am typing out this entry while I am pedaling. All I can think about is all the weight I am going to lose with this! Yeah, I am probably being too optimistic with this particular thing, and I am pretty certain that I am not going to be able to keep pedaling for my entire work shift. Perhaps I need to do this for a month, and see what my scale tells me.

Blackburn Flea 2.0 USB Lights Combo
Are you an avid cyclist, and prefer to get your exercise routine done at night simply because there is far less traffic than the mad morning hour rush, and the weather is also a whole lot cooler? Well, that’s fine with me, but I need not warn you that the dangers of night cycling increases by a whole lot. I don’t have the statistic to back me up, but obviously visibility is reduced, and more people tend to knock back a tipple (or more) then, hence decreasing their ability to be alert behind the wheel – which does not translate to a very favorable environment for cyclists.
You might want to do your bit to maximize your chances of being spotted, so apart from wearing a fluorescent yellow jacket increases your visibility, how about the £44.99 Blackburn Flea 2.0 USB Lights Combo? This unique device might be tiny just like their namesake, but is virtually impossible to ignore. Each of these front and rear lights will feature a quartet of built-in super bright Nichia LEDs that can produce up to 40 lumens of brightness. You will be able to set them to glow at all times, or flash to attract more attention. They’re powered by built-in li-ion batteries, and you can recharge them by plugging it into a USB port.
