That dude in the white helmet on the left hand side of the picture looks vaguely familiar. My colleagues & I were also in a vignette on the Weather Network on TV.

Anyway, the segways were pretty damn fun to ride (despite the speed limiters). The guide told us about off-road segway tours at Horseshoe resort. Sounds like fun - tackling mountain bike-esque trails with a segway.

Gave Soma a shot. I was skeptical at first, but I was definitely impressed by their signature Mayan spicy chocolate drink (can't recall the name). I didn't try anything else in the store - I'm still very skeptical.

Glass the way to go

Remember when the BPA scare hit and everybody started to buy those Sigg aluminum bottles? Remember how I called bullshit on that?

Told you so.

Sigg is now offering free replacement bottles for consumers who purchased theirs before August 2008. Why? BPA.

If you're a Sigg customer I don't know how you can go on using your bottle or even bother taking advantage of their free exchange program. Why support a company that demonstrates either gross incompetence or a lack of integrity?

Which brings us to today's topic. Glass bottles. Reuse your San Pellegrino glass bottle for holding drinking water.

Ohh, but Dust, what happens if you drop the bottle and it BREAKS?!

Well, the same thing that happens if you drop you cup and it breaks. Honestly, people, that's not a good reason to not use glass. Any other reason you can think of not to use glass? I thought so. Use glass.
