Bikers Need A Mohawk For The Ultimate Ride Experience
Cars and trucks seem to have all the latest upgrades that Tony Stark would be jealous of. What about bikers though? Where is there tech? Well the fine folks at Fusar created the Mohawk. The Mohawk is an action camera, activity tracker, communication device, navigation unit, music player, black box and emergency alert system – all wrapped into one.
It was built by biker enthusiasts and the Mohawk is designed for easy and seamless use across a wide range of action sports. Technology should never get in the way of the experience, and Mohawk is technology made simple. The smart helmet revolution is finally here.
Mohawk is an all-in-one Swiss Army knife of smart helmet technology. It’s equipped with an accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. It’s the most advanced helmet-mounted accessory device ever built.
Fusar also thought of your safety too. Mohawk can detect if you’ve experienced a collision. When a crash has been detected, Mohawk immediately sends out an emergency distress beacon. Their cloud servers then automatically send SMS and email alerts to your emergency contacts, or Guardian Angels. They receive a map with your precise location and the local phone numbers of the three nearest EMS dispatchers.
Check out the video below to see the Mohawk in action. Go to Fusar.com for more info.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” Director Talks Wonder Woman
The San Diego Comic Con is almost here. There will be some spoilers and teasers leaked at the many of the different junkets. Yet we are finding out more about the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” film from none other than the film’s director Zack Snyder.
Snyder said that Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman wouldn’t just be a small role. He said that she is very important to the storyline. “She plays a super-important part. In a lot of ways, she’s the gateway drug to the rest of the Justice League.”
“Dawn of Justice” will be a small glimpse into the DC Comics Justice League movie. Snyder also talked about the issues people had with the “Man of Steel” film. Snyder said, “I was surprised because that’s the thesis of Superman for me, that you can’t just have superheroes knock around and have there be no consequences. There are other superhero movies where they joke about how basically no one’s getting hurt. That’s not us. What is that message? That’s it is okay that there’s this massive destruction with zero consequence for anyone? I remember talking about ‘What’s the next villain? ‘We can’t do another alien invasion.’ Metallo, I think, was going to be the main bad guy of this movie. Brainiac was definitely down the road.”
It looks like Snyder is really open about the future of the DC Comic films. Hopefully more news like this will be revealed in San Diego this week!

M&M’S Crispy has been gone for 10 years, and fans have lobbied so hard for its return we’re bringing it back. M&M’s Crispy officially hits stores in January, but a Chicago fan named Olivia asked through the M&M’S® Brand Facebook page: “Why not make M&M’S® Crispy available at Halloween?”
The brand responded by teaming up with Chicago basketball legend Scottie Pippen to surprise Olivia with a batch of her favorite candy that she could pass out to trick-or-treaters, making hers the only house in the country with M&M’S® Crispy this Halloween.

Chef Danny Boome Talks About His Show “Good Food America”
Danny Boome, internationally-acclaimed TV personality and Chef known to audiences for his culinary work and dynamic personality, is back on television with a new network and show.
Following the success of hosting two of 2013’s hit shows: ABC Daytime’s “Recipe Rehab” and Food Network “The Cooking Channel’s Donut Showdown” – Danny has taken to the streets with Z Living as the new host of “Good Food America” Season 
Two.
The popular series will take viewers on a culinary adventure across America in search of the nation’s best organic, sustainable and healthy restaurants. Viewers will join Danny on his gastronomic journey each Sunday night as he discovers regional gems, native ingredients and the homegrown talent that keeps locals coming back for more.
Danny was kind enough to answer my questions about his new show, cooking, and more.
Art Eddy: Let’s talk about your show “Good Food America.” What can we expect from this season?
Danny Boome: I will take viewers on a culinary adventure across America in search of the nation’s best healthy restaurants – discovering the regional gems, native ingredients and the homegrown talent that keeps locals coming back for more. This season, the series will make stops everywhere from Maine to California.
AE: This season we will see you travel to restaurants from Maine to California. Do you have a favorite city when it comes to food?
DB: I am really lucky as I have a great job, I flit around the country tasting and discovering great food and restaurants. The go to places for me are normally Chicago and New York, but this trip opened my eyes to some new cities that I think have really been overlooked! Philadelphia and Denver/Boulder should be on everyone’s radar!
AE: Which other famous chef or celeb would you like to cook with or have them cook for you?
DB: Oh, that is a tough one! I think I’ll go for a celeb and I’ll do the cooking! As Good Food America is all about healthy, organic and sustainable food it would have to be Paul McCartney. Can you imagine the stories that guy could tell you?!
AE: Oh man. Paul McCartney would be a fantastic dinner guest. What is the process like for creating new dishes? Is there a lot of trial and error?
DB: For me it’s about the produce – I see it, touch it and smell it – close my eyes and just know what to do with it. I always cook when my heart is full and I am happy. I don’t cook when I’m in a bad mood as the results are always bad! I have a knack for keeping it simple and using the basics, and knowing that I’m happy and the ingredients are right, the dish creates itself.
AE: What got you into cooking? Was there a person or an event that triggered your passion for cooking?
DB: I have to give a lot of credit to my Dad as he saw some potential in me early on, as well as my grandmothers Joan and Mena. My Dad wanted me to get into a trade for when I stopped playing hockey, and thought my passion and creative side would work well in a kitchen.
My grandmothers have taught me to make something out of nothing, especially that the recipe is just a guideline, so I should have fun with it! I honestly got into food to travel, it’s a language, a passion and the best opener to any conversation I have ever had. I pursued it and used it as a vehicle, I never stop learning that way!
