Cole's Notes - The Sunday Journalist

Not from our sponsors - which there ain't any - but from the folks over at Skype . Yep, the folks at Skype are letting me link to them to share the service. It's a little something I've been playing with the last couple of weeks. And I'll put a little bipvert on the right side for when this posting gets moved down the line. Plus all of you skype users can reach me at user name of colecoop - when I'm on-line - I'm still playing around with the system and haven't got a voice mailbox yet, but I will soon. Which is neat - 'cause as you know to get to Cole's Notes you go to colecoop.blogspot.com - which I'm sure you've bookmarked already - or don't foget the RSS feed. Content has been a little thin on the ground lately, with Gainful Employement Corporation taking up a lot of my time, but some new things are coming soon.

Well, it's an old cartoon - but it's still relevant - even with the modifications. Tip of the hat to M who sent it along.

A bit of an interesting twist on the electric bike - it uses the areas on the front and back wheels hold Solar collectors and charge the battery. I imagine the box over the back wheel is the battery box - but you probabily could add a basket on top. I don't suppose a saddle bags would be a good idea - cutting down on the light exposure to the wheels. It comes prebuilt as shown for around $1299 or they offer conversion kits for your own Bike starting at $795.00 - Canadian. This is a Canadian company building these things. So the US folks will have to pay duty to have these in the sunny states. Not to mention - the NORCO bike is made in Canada too... I wonder if they made a solid wheel from the solar panels and if they're on both sides of the wheels? It sort of looks like they may have used hub motors to make it run - unless the motor is hidden in the Crankshaft housing, or on the other side of the bike. Now all NORCO needs to do is start manufacturing these in quality for $5...

To my regulars - my apologies for not posting lately. I've been extremely busy with the day to day job over at the gainful employment - and it's cut way back on my web work.

As my Horoscope for today says: Today you might complete a project that was difficult, but important to your career. Acknowledgement of your dedication and hard work could find you being more emotionally overwhelmed than you're comfortable with. You may have to make a special effort to control your feelings. You've moved mountains to get where you are, dear Libra, and it's nice to be recognized! In the evening: Go out and celebrate. You deserve it!
