bicycle camera mount

bicycle camera mount
Great idea: the Bicycam. When Jens Almström opened his bike's bell and examined it, he realized that the screw that held the upper half in place had the same dimensions as the tripod's screw for his camera. Now his bicycle bell doubles as a simple camera mount.

MacSpeech Dictate

MacSpeech Dictate
Just received a copy of MacSpeech Dictate for testing purposes. Now includes the famous Dragon speech recognition engine. Runs on any Intel based Mac (hopefully it will be usable on an Atom CPU, too) on MacOSX 10.4 and 10.5. Cost is less than 200$ including a noise cancelling headset. Will test ASAP, but from what I have heard from people using Dragon Dictate on Windows, this will finally enable me to quit using a keyboard for typing text. I hope Dictate soon supports international languages. More on this later. Update: works as promised. Really usable to dictate long texts.
