Straight from the top minds at Doshisha University and Panasonic comes a very earth friendly and HiFi way to listen to your music: the Bamboo Speakers. The collaboration yielded speakers that use bamboo fibers instead of traditional wood fibers in these new speakers. The results are all praise due to bamboo’s natural resistance and greater sound range.

One issue is that it does cost more to manufacture, but Panasonic is trying to get this on shelves by 2007, so they hopefully will look into some cost cutting techniques, like hiring Pandas to assemble them.

Since bamboo grows so fast, some species with a rate of 1.2 meters a day, there is little impact on the enviroment when it comes to making these, compared to the cutting down of trees that it usually requires. No word on pricing yet other than expensive.

A graduate of Colgate University, Bruce is one of the elite Henro or pilgrims who have completed the 900 mile 88 Temple Pilgrimage on the island of Shikoku, Japan by means of foot power, a feat (no pun intended.... ok maybe alittle) which is no laughing matter. He not only finished this task with a crippling leg injury but he has attained enlightenment according to the monks on Koyasan. Currently the 23 year old is living in San Antonio where he spends his time working as a Data Analyst but also trying to accomplish his next great challenge, drinking all 200 beers at the Flying Saucer. Having recently married his long time friend from college and seen as nuts for doing so, Bruce relishes his life and hot dogs generously. KANPAI!!
