The terrorists “hate our freedom.” If that’s true, they’re probably going to hate our folding bikes.
Montague’s bad-ass Paratrooper Tactical Folding Mountain Bike is jump-ready and can be dropped on a static line or attached to a paratrooper. Accessories seem to include a camo wrap for jump time and a handlebar attachment that stores an assault rifle in a “travel” position. (via Core77)

All things, past, present, and future, are related and reciprocal. We’re going to show you how. Welcome to Tangent.

What’s most interesting about Tangent is the way Adam & Jessica are funding this show. Have a look see
If you are too lazy to click through the short story is they are selling shares to their project/company. They estimate production for 2009 costing $20k and are willing to pay $10,200 of those costs and are selling the rest in $10 increments as shares. Revenue from Tangent is split equally among shareholders, in direct correlation to their percentage of ownership.

Demo of a neat lid that has a compartment for a tea bag. As seen at the fancy food show.
I went to the Fancy Food Show today and bumped into friends who run a gourmet retail shop and had an amazing time. This is a video I took of Justin eating a Jolokia, the world’s hottest pepper.
