I've been using it for the past 4 months and will most likely upgrade to the new version coming out soon. Awkward to wear on t-shirts but works well on headwear, button-up shirts and jackets. Fun for parties and time-lapses.</p><p>- $149, $199<br>- "life casting" feature available on mobile and web app<br>- 2 day battery life<br>- takes photo every 30 seconds or with a tap<br>- doesn't work well in low light settings<br>- great conversation starter, yet subtle enough to wear daily</p><p><a href="http://getnarrative.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://getnarrative.com">http://getnarrative.com</a></p>Greg LontokFri, 06 Feb 2015 13:26:40 -0000http://blog.rungeek.com/post/4215217385#comment-175274119<p>Oh Bernardo.</p><p>Answers below taken from <a href="http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/faq.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/faq.php">http://www.teslamotorsclub....</a></p><p>"electric cars requires more fossil fuels to be burn to produce energy to charge your car"<br>Using the long tailpipe argument: EVs are inherently more efficient than ICEs. As a result, the carbon dioxide emissions are slightly less even if your electricity is generated from coal-fired plants, which is the dirtiest way we have to produce electricity. If you bring other electricity sources into the mix, the numbers get better. Few regions are powered from 100% coal.</p><p>It's true that we need to clean up our power grid nationwide, or indeed globally. Electric cars will benefit from that process -- we can move the power grid to more nuclear, or wind power, or geothermal or solar power, and our electric cars won't have to change.</p><p>Also. . . Even if you are burning only coal for electrical power, and it's nearly as polluting as gasoline, it's still reducing the need for imported oil and helps ease the problem of global oil depletion.</p><p>"1000 pounds of chemical waste that can NOT be recycled when you throw the batteries away"<br>Unlike most other chemistries, lithium-ion cells aren't considered toxic by the EPA. By way of comparison, used motor oil is considered toxic. As far as the EPA is concerned, you could dump your old battery into a landfill, it's not a problem. However, it wouldn't make economic sense to do that, because they can be recycled and valuable materials can be recovered from them. Before any cars have been delivered to customers Tesla have already made arrangements for recycling their worn-out batteries.</p><p><a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/mythbusters-part-3-recycling-our-non-toxic-battery-packs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/mythbusters-part-3-recycling-our-non-toxic-battery-packs">http://www.teslamotors.com/...</a></p><p>This is just the beginning of a revolution ...</p><p>-greg<br></p>Greg LontokWed, 30 Mar 2011 21:53:42 -0000http://blog.rungeek.com/post/122439062#comment-10820540<p>pure awesomeness. thanks for posting Bernardo!</p>Greg LontokFri, 12 Jun 2009 19:20:08 -0000http://blogging.la/2009/03/18/first-look-lafayette-park-skateland/#comment-276529763<p>Though this skate spot looks like it may not have as many "skate amenities," it actually runs circles around the many skateparks built in LA. More is not always better. This spot is more representative of the street spots skaters are accustomed to. Most of the skateparks in LA are plagued by a design where too many amenities are cramped together. If you observe what most of the kids skate at the skateparks and street spots, it's usually a basic 3-5 stair and knee high ledges. Granted a pool or ramps may make a taxpayer feel like their tax dollars are at work, only a small population of the skateboarding community skate these type of obstacles.</p><p>One of the best parts about this spot is the smooth, flat ground which is sometimes a feature overlooked yet it is the most basic. I've been coming to this spot and every time has been a blast. Looking forward to more of these type of skate spots popping up. Kudos to Rob Dyrdek for leading this movement of skate spots!</p>Greg LontokThu, 19 Mar 2009 14:06:41 -0000http://blog.rungeek.com/post/84986704#comment-7045886<p>we'll have to celebrate with Hooters...</p>Greg LontokMon, 09 Mar 2009 19:36:00 -0000http://blog.rungeek.com/post/84986704#comment-7044048<p>¡Felicitaciones Bernardo!
