Once again, it’s been a pleasure serving up the tech podcast for another year. Hands down, my favorite story from Episode 271 is about the Copenhagen Wheel, which you see here. In the interest of letting you get to your New Year’s Party in plenty of time, I’m not going to spell it all out for you this week. Here are some relevant links from the show. We also revisit drones, and talk about tech during times of crisis. Thanks to all of you for listening this year. Talk with you all again…in 2010.

And…a video of the Copenhagen Wheel Project

I haven’t listened to the podcast yet, just watched the video about the Copenhagen Wheel, but–wow! That’s an impressive device! It reminds me of the Nike+iPod device that provides runners with all kinds of interesting information about their training. I expect this will be a big hit in the cycling world.

Seems like I write only to complain, doesn’t it? I enjoy every podcast, and often look up links in the show notes.

I bike a lot, and some of my friends use electric-assist bikes, so I was interested in the Copenhagen Wheel link, and was chagrined that it gave me a 404.

The problem is a missing quote mark at the beginning of the href value, just before the http:.

Enjoy your week off, and best wishes for the new year.

Apologies. Thanks for letting me know about the bad link. It’s fixed now. Happy Holidays.

Once again, a superb selection of subject matter and use of the proverbial journalist lens by covering the macro, geo-political, to the micro (new tech spotlight). Clark is indeed an excellent curator.
