Holly Ice Cream

“A year after he shocked the world with the ice-cream made from breast milk, Icecreamists owner, Mark O’Connor, has launched a new outrageous frozen dessert called the Vice Lolly. Priced at $28.50, the green gun-shaped treat is made of three parts holly water imported from the spring at the Grotto of Massabielle at Lourdes, a famous place of pilgrimage for Catholics, and one part absinthe, the potent alcoholic drink banned in the UK, in the 19th century. The bizarre combination is sweetened with sugar and aims to build on the risque reputation of the unique ice-cream parlor in Covent Garden, London.” w/ photos + videos

This is the camera system that mounts to a bicycle for providing a clear view of the road behind. The 2 1/4″ W x 1 1/2″ H camera mounts to a bicycle’s seat post, provides a rear-facing 75º field of view ideal for seeing approaching vehicles or other cyclists. A 78 3/4″ zip-tied cable that accommodates any frame geometry connects the camera to the handlebar-mounted 3 1/2″ TFT color monitor (fits bars up to 1 1/4″ diameter); quick-release mechanism removes the monitor easily from handlebars for charging. A circular pattern of red LEDs flash when the camera’s built-in sensor detects low-light conditions for visibility to traffic. Fully weather – and vibration-resistant. The camera system’s rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of operation from a two-hour charge using the included AC adapter.” w/ photos
