The Purple Bike
You know how Google has those cars that drive around taking pictures? Well, Yahoo built a fleet of even cooler bikes. Each is equipped with a solar-powered camera and phone, takes a picture every 60 seconds, and uploads it to Flickr. They’ve deployed a couple dozen around the globe and, well, they brought one by Zoomdoggle HQ last week and let yours truly take a spin. How fun is that? If you find the right photo-set, the first picture in the series (at least for time this purple monster was entrusted to yours truly) is of me. First one to find the picture and either post a link below or email to to pics at zoomdoggle dot com, wins something fun… not sure what yet.

Mr Dee, you banged it out first… that means you’ve won a, um, er, well, I’ll figure it out in a few minutes. In the meantime, send me the address you’d like whatever it is mailed to, and I’ll drop it in the box post haste.

TWOEIGHTNINE, mrdee (the winner) is in Germany, and I’m kinda short on money for taxes and customs. That makes you the winner (or the getter of the prize anyway). Let me know where to send it and I’ll drop it in the box. How fun is that?
