Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym for complete fitness

I used to have one of the older Bowflex Ultimate, and loved it… when I got off my lazy ass to use it

So how far along have you gotten on your New Year’s weight loss and fitness resolution? If you’re anything like me, you have probably ended up with 5 pounds more than what you started with and the gym membership is only toning down your bank account! Well, what you need is a complete body fitness trainer at home. I mean it only makes sense that you workout when it’s convenient to you so that it doesn’t become a burden on your schedule and weigh down all your motivation. That’s why I simply loved this Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym, which features over 95 exercises and 310 lbs of Power Rod Resistance Standard which not only feels better than standard free eights but also cuts down on joint stress! With a stunning range of exercises equipment integrated in one machine including lat tower, leg extension/curl, preacher curls attachment, squat station and ab crunch attachment, you have no reason to put working out down your list anymore. And the fact that the whole machine costs just $2,149, which is less than a year’s membership at a good gym, leaves no scope for doubt at all. Phew! I’m so motivated just telling you about it, I think Iâ€™ll go run 5 miles. And maybe catch a big, decked up sundae on my way back.

Oakley’s Kitchen Sink Pack Includes Everything But… Well You Know How It Goes

Oakley Kitchen Sink Pack (Image courtesy Oakley)
Being a big fan of Oakley product.. I gotta have one of these!

Oakley sells a bunch of different bags and backpacks but if you want to get all their nifty features in one fell swoop you’ll have to go with the Kitchen Sink pack. It includes padded pockets for safely storing a mobile phone and a 17 inch laptop, and the top compartment is even compression molded allowing you to stick a pair of sunglasses inside without the fear of them being crushed. Alternately, the top compartment also has a headphone port if you want to carry your MP3 player in there while still listening to it.

There are cable zipper pulls for the main compartment that allow you to add a lock for security purposes while the mid-body access flap hides an organizer for less important items like pens. I particularly like the bottom compartment which includes drainage holes for items that might get soaking wet.

You can find the Kitchen Sink Pack on the Oakley website for $175.

Buddy Beacon Goes 2.0, Gets Facebook Application

Buddy Beacon

If you’re a Helio user , you’re probably familiar with the Buddy Beacon. I’ve been using Helio for a while, and it’s pretty cool to be able to look up my friends and see where they’re at. Anyway, uLocate (the guys behind Buddy Beacon) are rolling out a new version of the software today.

First up, Buddy Beacon will soon be available on a variety of networks, instead of being a Helio exclusive. This new alone is great, because I know a several people with Sprint and AT&T phones that would love to use this feature.

The other big news is that they are going to make Buddy Beacon compatible with Facebook. They have released an application (it’s still in Beta) so that your friends can see what you’re up to just by checking out your Facebook page. Personally, I don’t want to make it that easy for everyone to know where I am, but it’s certainly cool for those that are a bit more social than I.

Shocking: Chevy Volt To Cost Extra $5k Due To Speaker System

Chevy Volt

Your favorite mostly realistic eco-friendly concept car, the Chevy Volt, was supposed to (as of the LA Auto Show) be released in 2010 for somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, to have to report that it’s now (still nearly 3 years away from a late 2010 arrival) looking like it’ll be closer to $35,000. According to General Motors, the problem is that when you throw in stuff like headlights, windshield wipers, and a 10 speaker (!) stereo system, it all starts to suck battery away from the wheels, and your mileage, well, tanks. In order to solve the problem, GM is going to not really solve the problem, and just install “redundant systems” (which I can only imagine will be separate batteries) to power all the non-engine electronics. Expect the problem to be solved for real on the second generation Volt.

I can’t reiterate enough how impressed I am with the effort that Chevy is putting into the Volt, and their commitment to affordability and a realistic availability schedule. But the key is going to be keeping those promises, or else consumers are going to lose confidence in the practical nature of electric cars. Meantime, take another look at the Aptera…
