Level Of Difficulty at Work: .5 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: Short
Via Technologies comes out with their smallest Form Factor Motherboard using their C3 1ghz chip called the Pico-ITX.
The actual motherboard is smaller than the CD it's sitting on! It's as small as a 2.5" laptop harddrive. i thought Nano-ITX was small, people were making pc's out of a Soccer Ball and the one size higher the Mini-ITX toasters and Attache Case with LCD monitor, thus making it a laptop of sorts.
Smaller and smaller baby! woot!
And now for something that'll make your heart leap up into your throat. I wish i was up there in Canada riding one of these in my prime days of mountain biking.
The stories go that up in British Columbia on the North Shore are these daredevils who like to mountain bike. But then the county of sorts decides that mountain bike trails are too damaging to the environment. So these guys said ok, we'll BUILD the trails ABOVE the trails and you see there is some of the teeny tiny wooden bridges that are 4 tire widths wide. It takes alot of hard work, planning, blood sweat and tears to create a run like that. And if the rangers take down the run, they've gotta rebuild somewhere else.. again..
I do love good singletrack, technicals too.. But those jumps are slightly sketchy..
