Mobile Computing of Third Kind
When you mod your bike, how much do you really do it? A few internal changes perhaps. Most of us end up with plastic surgery mostly — everything superficial.
But this guy has modified his bike in a rather interesting manner. Cosmetic changes aside, the hardware maestro has installed a computer on his bike, complete with a regular hard disk! The bugger is running FreeBSD 5.2.1 on that thing! To do what? Record videos from the camera installed on his helmet.
Awesome! I am actually in awe.
