I’ve been looking for a beginner’s triathlon bike and happened to see an ad for Electra in this month’s Men’s Health. Electra has some very stylish bikes and I may just have to get this one for my training bike.

- Over 10,000 movies and TV episodes instantly
- No change in monthly Netflix costs and you continue to get your DVDs by mail
- Easily connects directly to your TV
- Pause, rewind or play anytime - just like a DVD
- Guaranteed to work with your TV
I just subscribed to Blockbuster’s Total Access program - but I might need to cancel that instantly and buy the Netflix Player by Roku instead. It’s 10,000 movies on demand with UNLIMITED streaming! The box is only $100 and you just need a Netflix subscription over $9.
UPDATE: Turns out that you don’t get blockbusters on day one release that you’d get from Apple TV and you don’t get Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, but for less than half the price of an Apple TV it’s still a very tempting offer!

The Speedo LZR Racer wet suit is so advanced that multiple swimming governing bodies are trying to ban it from competition. It’s being called the Ferrari of swimsuits.

The Casio Exilim EX-F1 is all the rage on the internet right now because of it’s incredible feature set:
• Slow-mo video shooting at 300, 600 and 1200 frames per second
• Fast-slow-fast shooting from 30fps to 300 and back to 30 — I call this the “she walked in the room” mode, because it’s what they do in cheesy 80s movies to indicate the protagonist’s love interest
• High-speed 6-megapixel shots at 60fps
• Strobe shooting of stills at 7 frames per second with standard flash; 60fps with LED flash
• Full-resolution still shooting while capturing HD video
• Fly-in and fly-out auto modes, which capture still shots at 60fps when the subject enter or exit the frame
So not only is it a great still camera, but it also has awesome HD camcorder abilities.

Sprint is touting the Samsung Instinct as an iPhone killer. The videos circulating the internet are pretty compelling. If it wasn’t for the imminent arrival of the 3G iPhone, I’d might consider switching to Sprint.

The Casio G-Shock Mudman watch is the closest thing to an indestructible timepiece - at least that’s what I’ve read from many user reviews. I actually already have the the dark olive version of this watch, but I would gladly exchange it for this rare red version.

For those times when a camera phone is too slow, or not good enough, this ultra-compact, wifi-enabled, 9 megapixel Nikon Coolpix s52c seems like the perfect camera to have in your pocket.

Arriving in the US later this year is Korea’s Nury Tec THP2 2.4g Fitness Watch System. Not only is it a heart rate monitor, but also includes a GPS sensor and bodyfat scale. All components communicate over 2.4g RF to a USB receiver and feeds complete fitness data to your computer. I’ll be watching the reviews once the product launches to see if it performs as well as the Garmin Forerunner 305, Polar RS800G3 or even the Nike+ iPod sport kit - which is what I currently use for my triathlon training.
The Spyderco Byrdrench is the coolest compact multi-tool I’ve ever seen. It includes a knife, wrench, screwdriver (with multiple bits), file, and slip joint pliers. Take a look at these action shots:
