You know I see a ton of people here in San Francisco who hang glide on a daily basis and some day I plan to make it my hobby too but for those of you who are afraid of all the risks of flying, there’s Street Hang Glider called StreetFlyer. I think it’s a pretty neat concept for those of you afraid of heights and it can even help real hang gliders train the same muscles used in air.
Believe me, I’ve been there, done that, I’ve “tried” watching fireworks in San Francisco for the last 4-5 years I’ve been living year straight but hands-down, I had the best New Year’s eve experience last night.
The boat is really nice, called “San Francisco Spirit”. If that’s not welcoming enough for you there’s free photographs for your family, then a nice buffet dinner with beef, 3 levels of decks you can watch the fireworks, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, and the rest of downtown San Francisco. And no, it ain’t
Although Tron Legacy isn’t out yet, there’s already people in Sweden making bedrooms that let you experience the movie, pretty cool. If you live in Sweden or going to travel there soon, please take some high-res photos and send them to me at zedomax at gmail dot com, I will pay you a hundred bucks for 30 photos.
The movie, Tron Legacy, is opening in theaters on December 17th and from this, the famous Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden has dedicated a special room that copies that world.
The Nauticraft Escapade pedal boat that set a world record for the fastest pedal boat to travel across the English Channel is now on sale over at Hammacher for $3,800.
It ain’t cheap but might be a great investment on a little boat you can go fishing on. I might actually get this in the near future, might be great for the SF Bay Area where I live.
This is the water craft that set a Guinness World Record for the fastest pedal-powered crossing of the English Channel. Possess

For those of you who live near the water such as lakes and rivers and you like taking your small boat out often, you might be interested to know that you can build yourself one of these boat-towing bikes for easier daily access to the water.
If you live near a lake but not on the lake; a bike boat trailer is the way to tow your small boat to the neighborhood lake. This trailer is made from black iron pipe and wheelbarrow wheels. It uses standard threaded pipe fittings so there is no welding invol
If you want the ultimate over-the-air surveillance gadget, you might want to build a hexacopter, like a helicopter but about 10 times more stable and can go straight up or down like a UFO.

I would really like to see a bigger, life-sized version of this and travel, seems like the 6-copters are ideal for doing some crazy maneuvers in air.
The author of hexacopter has put a nice set of instructions you can follow to build a hexacopter here.
Yup, these guys are kinda serious, they strapped a whole Canon 7D DSLR camera onto a helicopter so they can take some awesome photos and HD videos. (See Helivideo)
I am a fan of Canon 7D myself as I bought one couple months back (don’t forget to read my Canon 7D Essentials Review
My friend who I helped make OnEarthTravel blog, is actually starting to blog again. (I’ve been pushing him to blog again since couple days ago as seen here) As a former native of Thailand, my friend Bodin shows you how to travel Thailand and avoid protestors:
Cambodian citizens can’t travel to Thailand for the moment.
For most of us, buying a luxury yacht might be out of reach but for lucky billionaires out there who can, there’s a yacht being built, in fact the world’s largest, that they can buy. I’ve seen a slew of great yachts in my lifetime but reasonably this yacht is probably the largest. Of course, cruise ships are much larger but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
In an interview with CNN, Berkeley March, a naval architect, unveiled “Project 1000,” or the plan to build the world’s biggest super yacht ever. At 656 feet in length, it’
It’s probably true, Google’s Masterplan to take over the world has just started with Google launching various different products in the last 6 months including the Google Nexus One, Google Buzz, and now… the Google Street View Snowmobile.
I am sure many of you have spotted the Google Street View van but if you spot these Street View Snowmobiles, m
