Yep, a technological marvel, a dork magnet, call it what you will– but I own a Segway Personal Transporter now, a Christmas gift I received one day early. I’ve naturally glommed onto it as a gadget/vehicle thing, putting cameras on it and analyzing the heck out of the possibilities.
Sure, it’s dorky, but it’s also fun, fast, and my ego is not so fragile that I could give a shit. After all, I’m buying this t-shirt.
I’ve only owned the thing for a few days (it’s an i2), and have put a few miles on it. I’m looking at it a few different ways, and not in the ‘zomg look at meeee’ which seemed to plague every iPhone owner, posting happily with their toy. (Truth, I did pose for an old friend in France but that was IT)
There will be reports and experiments and who knows what to come, but I’ll throw the comments open for questions/requests ahead of time. Help me help you.
Embrace the dorky.

Put a camera near the wheels for that extra speed feel, and cruise around your neighborhood.
Oh! You need a horn on it, a old fashioned one that you have to squeeze.
