Clayton’s Weblog

I was driving home on Wednesday and pulled up to the head of the line at the corner of Route 7100 and Foxmill Road near Herndon.  As I’m sitting there, I see this guy filter forward through traffic, and dismount off of his unicycle:

I was a little surprised to say the least.  However, I wasn’t completely shocked, as I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this same guy commuting on the bike path on 7100 once before, in even weirder circumstances.  I was looking forward to seeing him mount up, and ride across, but unfortunately (for me), he just walked the unicycle across.  I’m guessing that’s probably a lot safer, but unfortunately I didn’t really get to see him riding.

Unfortunately the quality of the picture is pretty bad, but you can click the photo to see the higher resolution version at Flickr.  I pulled my formerly trusty Canon S400 out of my bag, but it appears that the sensor has bitten the bullet.  Well, I’m not positive, but I do know that all the pictures on the LCD show up purplish, and really wavy/fuzzy.

I need to decide now whether or not I should buy another Digital Elph, or wait until the 3G iPhone comes out, and just use the camera that is on that.  I’m thinking I’d like a separate camera, since on multi-day bike trips it would be a lot easier to keep a camera charged than a phone
