For most of us who live in either California or a four-seasoned land, winter is coming up and you know what that means, time to ski or snowboard.
Well, here’s a great way to re-charge your iPhone, Blackberry, or any other gadgets for the matter while you “slope” downhill.
At $1350, this solar ski jacket ain’t cheap but it will definitely help you stay in touch without fear of losing battery power while you are on the mountains all day long.
The best part is that you can take off the collar anytime, so you can use it to charge your gadgets even when you are back at home. The Ermenegildo Zegna solar-powered ski jacket retails for $1,350. If you are looking to go green and shout out that message to the world, this solar powered ski jacket is worth a pick and yes, it doesn’t even look that bad.

Tight, here’s SnoDeck, a motorized snow skateboard! Although you can do nollie or take it to your nearest swimming pool for some crazy ghetto half pipes, at least you can go out in the snow and enjoy ridin’ around before the snow melts. (if the snow melts that is, but if it doesn’t, this might be a permanent solution for your cool weather)

Also checkout snow skateboard which allows you to go downhill in the snow for real.

If you go to health clubs, sometimes you will see these cool balancing boards and a lot of skateboarders use these to actually practice balancing and doing nollies.
Well, I am really inclined to build this one myself, it really works out your lower body and increases your ability to balance yourself.
This can also be very good for snowboarders during the off-season, to keep their balancing abilities to top shape. (OR just skateboard like me…)
Build an indoor board (balance board) that can be used for
indoor surfing, skating, etc… or for general balance
training. These are sold as “indoboards” on the market, but I more…
will show you how to make your own at a fraction of the cost.
Watch out for th carpet burns though!

We’ve received word that a respected member of our tech community, James Kim (whom many of you may know as CNET’s senior editor of digital audio), and his family have gone missing. As we understand it, last weekend James, his wife Kati (above right), and his very young girls Penelope (left) and Sabine (baby), drove from their home in the SF Bay Area to Seattle. They were expected back some time Sunday, but were last seen by a hotel clerk at 5:45 PM on Saturday in or between Gold Beach or Portland, Oregon. We sincerely do hope they are all safe, and our hearts go out to the Kim family.
We’ll have more information as we get it. If you have any information as to the Kim family’s whereabouts, please contact the SFPD at 415-558-5508 during normal business hours, and 415-553-1071 after hours.
