Software CEO Finds Segway Marathon Hard On The Back, Knees
from the occupational-hazards dept
Remember last week the story about the anti-spam company CEO trying to get attention for his startup by riding a Segway a few hundred miles? Well, he made it (though, he cut part of the trip out to avoid traffic). So, how was the ride? "It was pretty hard on the back and hard on the knees, actually." Looks like the Segway as a long distance option isn't going to make it very far, then. As a publicity stunt, though? Seems to have brought him attention - but no promise of venture capital just yet.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
