Motorcycle Taxi Meters Coming?

Posted: 09 Feb 2011 03:00 AM PST

Motorcycle Taxi Meter
Motorcycle Taxi Meter Advertising
A great idea whose time has come! Two American expats living in Thailand have created the world's first motorcycle taxi meter.

No motorcycle taxi have fare meters. The device just don't exist since traditional cage taxis meters don't work on a bike. So they developed a high tech one that looks great.

It's equipped with an onboard GPS, it offers geographical proximity advertising and it has a black box feature that will provide an extra safety bonus for the passengers.

All that for an attractive price that even Asian and African motorcycle taxis should be able to afford.

Motorcycle Taxi Brazil
The Brazilian government is trying to legislate motorcycle taxis to such an extent that they would have to disappear.

31% of all fatal accidents in Brazil involve motorcycle, so they are deemed a "public health" problem.

Why do we have some many idiots.. and why are they almost always politicians?

Ad Aguila GV 650 Parts Venezuela
Reasonably funny print ad from Venezuela for Aguila, showing why it's better to have an Aguila motorcycle than a Harley-Davidson.... because their spare parts are guaranteed, and Harley's ain't.

So if you've got a hog, you'll end up taking the bus...

Apparently Computers and Networks Need Electricity

Posted: 04 Feb 2011 09:45 PM PST

Computers need electricity
Learned something yesterday. It would seem that computers, routers, modems and networks require electricity, which was of very short supply yesterday evening.

A big storm hit us just when I arrived home after a quick trip. I had just started finishing an article I had started on the train, when all the lights went out. Thankfully I have loads of UPSs, but they are of no use for the network. So I guess you had to survive without an article yesterday evening.
