Scooter whoopage

Yesterday I reamed myself on the scooter. I hit a patch of crap pavement at full speed and launched myself over the handle bars. I hit the ground pretty hard, but luckily my face was in the way to take most of the impact.

3 internal and 9 external stitches to my chin, and a potentially fractured hand and elbow later and I am back at work. I tried to power on through with my work on Quickflix's Project Phoenix yesterday but I had to head home for a lie down.

Today I get a couple of xrays to find out the damage to my right arm, and on Monday I head back to the docs for a check up.

Hasn't put me off riding though: I scooted to work and the doctors today, although riding was a little difficult with the busted up arm.

As for Phoenix: I should have the final style guide and touched up page layouts of the redesign ready for monday, although I have effectively lost a day and a half to the accident. The new site is, in my opinion, looking good and I can't wait to get cracking on the SiteCore implementation soon.

UPDATE: X-Rays are done, I've fractured my elbow and it has a haemarthrosis. Nice. Just waiting for the doc to get back to me on what to do from here.

Saving the environment in 1 easy step...

I've made my first moves toward a cleaner, greener simv and I would like to share with you how you too can help fix the world. It is easier than you think. Alright if you're ready, let me bestow my wisdom.

BUY A WICKED ARSE GOPED SCOOTER.

It is that easy. Seriously it is one of the coolest toys I have ever bought AND every day I ride it I am saving the environment just that little more.

The goped is fun to ride, quick and one charge lasts for ages. If you live within 10kilometers of your work get one. Do it. Do it now.
