Watch a Flash Video of the ride after the jump

We had a company lunch at tres agaves to celebrate some good news. Instead of walking four blocks, we rode. Here's a short clip of Chris riding on the back of Kai's bike. Too bad they don't make a teenie-weenie steadicam for my Canon elph.

I needed to take my computer in for a check up. Rather than drive to a garage and haul it a few blocks, Kai bungie corded it to his trailer and we rode (I rode on my fold-up Brompton) to the Apple Store. A piece of styrofoam kept the ride relatively smooth.

We got some funny looks riding up several blocks of Market, but we and my home Mac arrived safely. The drive had a damaged directory and so I opted to take it home, buy a new drive and salvage what I could from the original. Luckily I didn't loose anything.

The whole gang

Bob flew in for a visit, so we joined him for dinner. I put my Rebel XT on wide and put it on the lazy susan. Everyone took turns taking a snap with the remote. It was a bit hard to stitch, but the results turned out ok considering it was done by hand.
