POPSThe Shweeb velodrome is the worlds first human powered monorail racetrack [PICS] WOOOHOOOO! Looks like fun! The Shweeb velodrome is the world’s first human-powered monorail racetrack. It has two long overhead rail circuits, varying in height between two and four metres above the ground. High-performance pedal-powered vehicles hang under the tracks. The pods swing freely from side to side and as your speed picks up, you swing wildly around corners and soar high and low over undulating terrain. Up to five vehicles can be loaded onto each track, enabling teams to race each other either one-on-one or in tandem or you can race against the clock.

Considering the unavailability of any of the original drawings, this has been a tremendous feat of engineering, and once again people can experience t

POPSMicrosoft building an MVC Framework for ASP.NET? I've messed around with some of the current open source offerings here, and honestly I just don't see the value. Of course the whole goal of this is to make the TDD (and testing in general) process better, so it has value, but... it is so "breaking" from the normal ASP.NET development paradigm that I just don't see myself doing it. But, if it is simply a new "project type" in Visual Studio... HMMMM.... :)
