Tech Goodness

I think I am going to get one of these.




The Ouachita Challenge is quickly approaching and I can see the unique features of the Oregon Scientific ATC2K working well for this amazing trail.  Running on a couple AA batteries and on board memory capable of  expanding to 2GB in capacity, the 640 X 480 resolution is just what you need to capture the thrills of any ride. 

It comes with everything you need to mount to your handlebars or helmet.  Hell, you could easily carry a couple of these for a front and rear view of the action.  You can pickup the camera and 2 GB card for $200!  This is a hell of a bargain for a weather proof camera with this level of mobility and functionality. 

A cool way to put the ATC2K to use would be by using WikiMapia.  If you have not been to the site yet, you will find that it is a mashup of Google maps.  In short, it allows you to mark any place in the world with pictures, opinions, experiences and more. 
Here is some goofing I did at Busiek.  Couple Wikimapia with the ATC2K and you could share a ride on any trail with the map and actual video of the experience. 

If I can muster up the cash, I will be purchasing one of the ATC2K's and giving it a whirl in my back yard as well as the Ouachita's.  With Oregon Scientific on backorder for the ATC's, I may not be the only one sporting the toy on race day. 

Say Cheese!
