Yeah, right.  It sucks I can't be there.  But I did get to do this at work:

I would but I don't have a biker helmet.  I ordered a helmet 6 months ago and never got it.  So I am sobbing away the lost pennies and hoping to buy one sometime when other life issues aren't sucking my cash.

Two questions: where do you work and are they hiring?

I picked up a summer job while I wasn't teaching.  It is a Segway tour/rental/sales shop.  I give tours and train people to ride a Segway.  We go through historic Jacksonville, and I tell them about how the town came about and show them all the old, cool places...while we all ride Segways.  They have offered me a sales position but it is commission only, so I don't feel too secure in that being my "job."

Unfortunately they are not hiring and it is a long commute for you to get here Sig.  Sorry.  But there are some future possibilities and I am still trying to get to PDX and have a job, so maybe these two things will come together and Martin will have it made.

That's a great pic, Martin. I share your pain in not being able to go to D*Con. I hope Ara is having a great time over there!

Lol my parents did that tour with some out of town friends this summer... said they had a great time... I think they also did one in AZ or wherever their last trip was (they took so many this summer I lost track)
