helmet irony

Great helmet. saved my life in a highway accident. Landed head first on curb, after flying off bike at 80 mph.

Intersesting enough, those who died wearing the helmet obviously cant post, and no1 so far has jumped on to say that a helmet is crap cos his/her friend died wearing it, because you can't really blame the helmet.

At least it saved some lives, yet i'm not sure I can take them reviews seriously. And why are there SOOO MANY choices, if u think its bad at a pharmacy, motorcycle helmets are ridiculous.

i have settled though. HJC CL14, i figure my head is only worth about 250 dollars =)

Current Podcasts:
Diggnation(mp3) - great and funny podcasts mainly about technology but goes into other news, based on the top stories on the social news site www.digg.com

Hamish & Andy - radio exerts, very funny and a great listen. Its a shame each episode is so short.

History 5: European Civilization from the Renaissance to the Present - Interesting listening, goes into a depth of history that I know nothing about. Its very thick listening as in, you really have to concentrate if you want to learn anything. Information such as how the european states were divided and so on.

JapanesePod101.com | Learn Japanese (audio) - great podcast here. Just simple easy lessons in japanese, with some really kuwai presenters. At least they sound sugoi kuwai =)

Science Friday - Making Science Radioactive - in depth coverage of some interesting topics every Friday often with guests who hold opposing views, so you get a good deal of debate. There are also some running topics such as Stem Cell reseach and AIDS research but not limited to these.

Science Talk: The Podcast of Scientific American - Somewhat americanised, but has some good topics occasionally, but doesnt cover it in very much detail.
SploitCast - serious hacker stuff, but dont have often posts. Discusses many hot internet security topics like how easy RFID is to crack, which just happens to be the technology America is using for their passports.

The Science Show - ABC run science program, its okay, often covers natural sciences (wildlife studies, fossils), which are interesting but not that interesting.

Yet to listen to:
Learn Spanish - Survival Guide For Your Trip
NS 10: Introduction to Human Nutrition
Psych 156: Human Emotion
Psych 160: Socal Psychology
