Spyder Gives U.S. Ski Team Edge

Even if the American and Canadian Olympic teams fail to bring home gold for their homelands, at least we know they’ll be looking stylish. Both teams will be suited up in polyester – and not like those nasty 1970’s era leisure suits either! These new high-tech, and skin tight ski suits, would just give the wearer a bit of edge.

Let’s just hope this doesn’t result in the same type of controversy that was seen when swimmers used similar suits. But with a host of world records smashed in the pool, and the same expected to happen on the slopes we’re sure these suits will turn heads, and not just from the fashion sense.

Welcome to the Kinetic Shift

It’s the dawn of a new decade – well, technically the new decade begins in 2011 but the media rushed the whole “new millennium” thing in 2000 so we’re stuck with a new decade. The last 10 years were spent playing with some really cool technology. But while the TVs were able to slim down the viewers didn’t!

In fact, technology shouldn’t be something that makes movies buffs aspire to look like Harry Knowles and Kevin Smith. While we enjoy home theater, video games, remote controls, we also know that there is a whole world out there that can be enjoyed.

So while Web 2.0 made it possible to do the tech blogs, now it is time for the tech blogs to go to the next level and report on the technology that can help us make the shift to better health, through fitness and dare we say even greener living. Think not of what technology can do for us, but what we can do with this technology.
