COG Magazine is a magazine of bicycle fans (mainly fixed bikes, messengers, and things related with these elements).

I missed issued COG Magazine, and orderd past issues online.
All issues have more contents than online version. You should check out if you had interest on the COG Mag website.

BlueLug is a bicycle parts shop which deals with fixed gear bike in Tokyo.

New BlueLug's Rokkakush T-shirt arrived.

Rokkakush is BlueLug's original logo that is a designed hexagonal wrench (imitated Nike's swosh logo). Rokkaku means hexagon in Japanese.

"Koss", a project of Kuniyuki Takahashi releases new album titled "Ancient Rain" on 20th September 2008.

Atmospheric ambient sound synchronizes with your heartbeat, and surrounds your inner brain. All beautiful music lovers must buy this album.

I missed this app too. MobileChat is multi SNS client app for iPhone / iPod Touch.

This app can connect to Windows Live Messenger, AIM, .Mac, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, and Jabber.

Login process is buggy a little. And it doesn't run in the background.

Push is available for AIM and .Mac account, but I guess you may go bankrupt because it is able to do through SMS.

Some important features are not mentioned even in the iPhone page of Apple web site.
I will introduce such features Apple won't talk much about.

I went to PEDALMAFIA祭, a party of bicylce movie presented by PEDALMAFIA. In this matsuri (祭 / party), a lot of cool movie was played in 4 hours.

"Fumikiri" was the number one movie in this party. This movie is directed by Daisuke Hayakawa and Toshihiko Nakano. Featured japanese top fixed bike rider, Kai, Kyoichi Ozaki, and MKM of JAN crew.

I could say hello to Kai / Hakusyaku offline for the first time. Thanks, it was nice to talk to you, though you will forget me as you said :D

Teleport is the perfect VNC client for iPhone. Faster and more stable than MochaVNC, smooth control and drawing remote display, and beautiful animation while connecting.

I missed the app which I wanted most.

At last, I got SSH connection on iPhone with the app "iSSH".

It runs smooth. I can access my servers from everywhere iPhone reaches 3G network.

Skype is not officialy supported on iPhone, and its iPhone version has not released yet. IM+ for Skype enables your iPhone to connect to Skype network. You can try 10 days free demo, and can purchase its lifetime license for $29.95.

IM+ is web based skype emulator. You can login from Safari.
I tried the demo worrying about stealing or leaking out my Skype ID.

FAST FRIDAY is the documentary movie of seattle local fixed gear event started by Dustin Klein of Cadence clothing (also known as a rider of MASH). It was filmed in early 2007 and shown in Bicycle Film Festival 2007.

This DVD released after 1 year since its first show, so there is nothing new in riding and tricks though, you can feel the scene of street fixed gear culture in this movie.

Do you know Artlebedev, well known as the development company of Optimus Maximus keyboard. They make various funny geek stuff, like multiple power-plug, audio speaker, kool LCD clock, geek print apparels and trifle items.

I bought T-shirts Russian words and signs were printed on, and Pocket size DJ scratch pad.

Mocha VNC is VNC client app for iPhone and iPod Touch. You can connect to VNC Server of MacOSX, Windows, and Linux from your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Its rendering speed is too slow even through Wi-Fi (maybe useless on 3G), but it is just so fun to control remote PCs from a small gadget.

"MULTITUDE" is a photo book of street bicycle movement, directed by GO from PEDALMAFIA. It contains lots of photo shots of messenger, fixed rider, and cyclists in full color pages.

BeatMaker is an audio sequencer app for iPhone / iPod Touch. It has a set of 16 PADs like AKAI MPC, tiny FX, simple sequence window, and small sample library.

If you are familiar with interfaces of audio sequence software like Logic, DP, or Cubase, you can make a track so easy and quickly. This app is still tiny and includes small bugs, but you can experience and take a glance at iPhone's future.

Tuner is an internet radio player app for iPhone / iPod Touch.

You can choose internet radio channels in its default bookmark, and can also connect to any radio server with IP Address or domain name.

Have you ever imagined you can listen to the internet radio everywhere? This application is so worderful for me.

Even through 3G network, it can almost smoothly stream sound of radio.
