Futuristic Bikes, and a Short Note on Social Networking

Latest futuristic bike designs I have spotted on FB:


One day when I can afford it, I'll probably have one custom built so it contains both features, plus some more advanced ones (i.e. chain-less). I hope they can fit in a backpack too, similar to this:



On a side note, now you can see why I like FB so much, instead of going to each individual website to find out the latest stuff, it gets pooled into one stream. I recognize the limitations of this (some other equally cool quality info gets missed out) then again a good portion of high-end headline news still gets through. There's already too much information on the net as it is anyway, and one website alone like Inhabitat can quickly overwhelm. I also understand there's a lot of junk on FB, but it's slightly better than just a simple RSS feed on Wordpress/blogger, at least there's a wider range of mediums to interact with the global cyber community that are more flexible, and intuitive.

I've also begun trying to venture out into other social networking sites, I've had a Twitter account for a while but never really used it that much since FB is where I'm mostly active and find the place more exciting. So I've finally integrated FB and Twitter (can post to and from either FB or Twitter). Others include StumbleUpon, Tumblr, and god knows how many more (I've lost track and probably won't use them that much anyway, unless there's a strong enough incentive for me to do so). I started off with MySpace back in my college days but I've pretty much abandoned that since 2008!

I already feel so behind I'm like I'm never going to be able to catch up, I'll be like those guys who are stuck in the age of VHS players, radios/walkmans and what have you.
