Episode 875
July 17, 2009 Hearst Tower, New York City
The original Hearst Tower was completed in 1928. Out of the old cast stone facade, which has been preserved, is the new building, a glass tower framed by triangular structural steel "diagrids", designed by Norman Foster and completed in 2006. Leo is thinking of building a skyscraper out of the Victorian TWiT Cottage.
Terratrike to Beach
In Episode 815 Larry Blakely wrote about his 50-mile cycling challenge charity event, and hoped to hear about more bike gadgets on the Daily Giz Wiz. His prayer has been answered. It was his own letter which got Leo on to his Terratrike (Episode 837), and then Leo's other bike gadgets such as the Cateye Micro Wireless and the Delta Airzound Bike Horn (Episode 842). Larry has a bike gadget suggestion for Leo, the iHome Bike-to-Beach Bicycle Speaker for iPods. The iPod sits inside the tube which is water-resistant. It comes with a mounting bracket and a wireless remote control which is also mountable on to the handle-bar.
