Worlds Fastest Server

Ok I've thought I've seen dozens of ways to hype a product or service.
Until now.

Uber webhost http://www.HostMySite.comcrack team of engineers have teamed up with drag-bike builder Shawn Darby to create an electric drag bike equipped with a webserver so they can claim the title of running the world's fastest server.

According to their website:
This is an electric drag bike, capable of going from 0-120 mph in eight seconds, houses an integrated server that distributes content and data to Web pages while it accelerates down the track. This first-of-its-kind drag bike is outfitted with Web cams, GPS, accelerometer and other sensors serving Web data while in motion.

It's insanely cool. The webdata feed from the bike begs programmers like myself to build mashups.

I've rolled together a very quick flex RIA mashup test harness that shows each trip, the gps waypoints and maps a marker on a yahoo map. It's not an app yet, just a tickle of things to come.

Infact they are sponsoring a contest for developers to build an app to show off the bike.

NOTE: The mashup may not work for you if you are behind a firewall/proxy server.
The WFS webservice doesn't have a crossdomain.xml policy file posted yet. [Hey guys, add the file!]

More to come...
