News: Rumors: Segway isn’t really Ginger
“The conspiracy theorists also claim Bob Metcalfe, founder of 3Com and someone not known for participating in hoaxes, also claims to have seen Ginger–and says it’s not Segway.
Metcalfe told the New York Times earlier this year: “Some months ago when speculation was running high, I said that Kamen’s IT was more important than the Internet, but not as important as cold fusion, had cold fusion worked out. The IT I was talking about, which I did not disclose, was NOT Segway. That’s all I can say.”
I’ve been more tuned in than most to the Ginger/Segway/IT story since my path crossed within spitting distance of Dean Kamen in the early 70s when I was a quasi-administrator and he was a quasi-student at WPI. What if the real thing is actually more amazing?
Maybe that’s an ongoing thread in my life: I would love to be astonished.
India calls in X-Files agents to unmask face-scratching alien. I suppose if they ever touch down, the first thing they’d want to do is to scratch up our faces, right?
It’s hardly new, but I’ve been hearing about this book from people in my game design class and picked it up in Connecticut. Read most of it on the endless plane ride home and finished it yesterday. I gave it to Alex last night and he had it finished this afternoon. It’s great to find something entertaining that I could share with him without hesitation. I understand now why it was all the buzz among the kids in his Johns Hopkins class last month. One reviewer on Amazon said that the other 5 books in the series aren’t as good, but that didn’t stop me from ordering them all. We’ll see how it all turns out.
Spinny is just one of a series of Flash masterpieces by Mark Fiore. Man, I wish I could do things like this. Ashcroft would have me behind barbed wire quicker than you can drape a towel over the busom of Justice.
