simonr Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Do X-eng t-shirts come in skeleton size? Only in transparent! Just got home after an 8 hour drive - well, mostly a long wait in traffic jams. The Maker fair was brilliant. Much less nerdy than I expected. Even met a few quite cool people - and Turbocharger too I'll definitely be back next year with some more cool stuff I've built over the year - have the odd plan already. The BBC filmed my eleccy skateboard and triangular bike which they said would be aired on one of the hundreds of channels in the next few days. Let me know if you spot it anywhere.

Turbocharger Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well, I spotted some young hoodlums riding round on your skateboard (rather quickly and irresponsibly - couldn't you limit it to 5mph or something?) - I took the opportunity to video it , in a railway station and .Top weekend chaps - thanks to Superpants for pointing it out, well worth the trip. I'll put some other pics and vids up tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I've re-uploaded the railway station clip , I can't re-edit my old post. YouTube seems to make the conversion from mp4 rather jerky which is a shame, it plays very well at this end.Edit: I've put it on Facebook too, but I don't know if others will be able to see it there. Seems less jerky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Just had a phone call from a chap at the BBC saying that the video they shot of my bike & skateboard is on BBC technology http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7961760.stm today and is going to be used on World Service TV / News 24. That's added a few seconds to my 15mins of fame! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
