Marty has been making beautiful bikes here in Boston, and now he has a beautiful video to prove it. Go to the Vimeo site to see it in HD.

I don’t have a Mac server.
I wanted to use Mac’s Time Machine to backup my laptop without buying Time Capsule or manually connecting an external drive every time.
I have an extra PC that is running Ubuntu as my file server.
… ::searches Google:: …
oh hai, this lets me do backups automatically. woop!

they’ll be used to power the sustainable sound system for firefly. it’s sean’s idea and work, but i helped. these are beta and should end up with nicer welded supports and weatherproof covers. (and maybe some self-powered EL wire)
i’m helping Sean Stevens build a “sustainable sound system” powered by bikes. we’re through the prototype stage, and it’s working very well.
do you have whole or partial bikes or parts we can use? (stationary excercise bikes could work too)
sean’s ‘need’ list:
* some bike chains (perhaps 8 or equivilent, multi speed style (not bmx))
* rear wheels with sprockets (6-8)
* multispeed bike frames with pedals/cranks/front sprockets
* Some bike shift cable stuff/shifters if possible
so far, and without much effort, we’re powering a huge subwoofer and stereo set through some DC motors, capacitors and car amplifiers. the next step is to add several bike stations that can withstand the woods and crazy burners in the woods. depending on how it works, we might scale this for a huge sustainable sound stage for burning man. sean plans to refine and release his schematics for public use.
