the carters play with segways

Last Thursday, former US President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalind Carter visited Google. I got to give President Carter and Mrs. Carter a demo of the Segway HT.


(That's me showing Mrs. Carter how to ride a Segway.)

I was walking out of the main lobby at Google when President Carter and his enterouge of Secret Service agents were about to leave. Call it dumb luck, but someone asked me to start the segway and help show the former President how to ride it. Well, Mrs. Carter got so excited after the demo she just hopped on and drove round the lobby. It was one of those random "what the hell?!?" moments that can happen only at Google.
