Breakfast Links: By Sea, By Land & By Space
Wow, do I have a lot of work today. Anyhow, here’s a trio of motive devices. Remember when Sir Richard Branson crossed the english channel in that car? That was totally bad ass and is why English billionaires are cooler than ours. I mean, his reality show (despite it’s bad ratings) was way better than the Apprentice. Anyhoo, I digress. That channel crossing car is coming to the states and will be able to be had for less than $100k! It may not have doors, but it sure would be cool to drive around in the hudson! Well, sort of cool and sort of nasty. If you can’t wait till it comes out to get into the hudson it’s getting to be summer so there’s always free kayaking on the weekends!
For those of you who prefer to stay dry and keep your feet on good ol’ terra firma, check out the winner of some wierd marketing competition the Easy Glider. It’s some kinda modern day chariot, but without the cool wheel spears you see in the movies. It’s electric so is kinda green in that way and it’ll prevent you from having to walk, so that’s good. Who knows? At least it won an award! More than I can say for you.
And lastly if all that’s just too boring for you and you simultaneously find yourself with an extra $267,000 burning a hole in your wallet, then a space trip may be in your future! EADS (the parent company of the imploding Airbus) has decided that it’s going to build a space plane and stick rich people on it for 90 minutes a trip. 90 minutes! Now I’m all for space tourism and all (except for when they were going to send Lance Bass onto the ISS - I wasn’t even a little bit ok with that), but it seems to me that a 90 minute round trip into space is less a tour and more a fleecing. But maybe that’s cause I’m not rich.
