I still think they are cool, but impractical. Anyhow, I started to poke around the net regarding the Segway. I ran across a blog entry that featured a photo of the Segway Beta. This was a humorous mock-up showing a man riding a hand cart backward. The idea tickled my fancy so I decided to do a little promotional video spoof featuring this “Segway Beta”. Being relatively new to creating videos, I had a learning curve to overcome. It took me 8 hours to make a 1 minute spot with a few basic special effects. I won’t consider it time well spent until the video is viewed once for every minute I put into it.

I put the video on a Squidoo page. The page is a kind of mock landing page for the Segway Beta. I don’t expect that I will sell too many hand carts as a result.

All this, of course, is a huge diversion from what I really should have been doing, finishing up video for my Toilet website, and adding a section on rice to InDepthInfo. But sometimes you have to pick up a project because it is plain fun.
