News I Can't Use
New Segways...M'eh...
Did I ever tell you the very sight of a Segway sends me into an inexplicable rage? I don't know why, but when I see someone zooming by me on the sidewalk on one of these contraptions I just want to beat the person with an umbrella. Shocking I know. I think perhaps all the hype surrounding its debut way back when, or just the entire smuggness of the thing. Anyway, seems to me that for $5,000 you could look much more cool riding a Vespa (and still have a couple thousand left over). Meanwhile I still wait for my hover car.
