It's officially been a whole month since I've given up on cars.



Over the last 30 days, I've only piloted a four-wheeled automobile on one occasion - and that was to sell it... so that doesn't really count, right?

Even when facing mother nature's tears (commonly known as rain), I just somehow don't feel the draw to cage myself for the trip. However, we shall see how things fair soon when Florida's (mildly) bitter cold winter sets in.

I've clocked over 2,000 miles since registration in July and plan to continue piling them on until the little Ruckus has paid itself off through commute savings alone in Spring. Then, I just might move up to a big-boy bike.

Last week had me bravely (read: stupidly) testing out a short stretch of Interstate - my first and last time. The relatively-near future will likely hold a trip to South Florida - very possibly my first trek as an adult to the Florida Keys, where scooters are king!

My scooter-media blitz is still in the works. Fans have been pushing for a blog - can't let them down. I'm also considering mobile updates while on the road courtesy of Bluetooth and Utterz.

Until next time - peace, love and 49cc's!

A few weeks back, the female portion of Account Management showed up to work as mirror images. We are now thinking that this should be institued as female uniforms company wide. It's really pretty flattering, eh?

This past Friday, the management team decided to switch things up on us and replace our traditional Recognition Friday with SUPAFRI...

Finding that we were growing out of our old traditions (and the fact that IZEA stole them all anyway), in addition to SUPAFRI, we replaced our Cakeplow as a means for celebrating MindComet anniversaries.

It's succesor, The Wheel of Destiny, turned out to be more dastardly than we could have imagined. Of the three spins, two came up PUDDING FLING and one with 20 Dolla' Bill Y'all. What can I say? The Wheel of Destiny giveth and it taketh away. Or does it just giveth some more? Depends on perspective, I suppose.

Watch below as MindCometeers David Martin, Andrew (PT) Clark and Josh Riggs were punished and rewarded by it's umm... spinny-ness?



David was in it to spin it and win it, but all he ended up with was a face full of pudding (not to mention pudding stains on the wrong side of his pants and a smell that just won't go away).

The Wheel of Destiny doesn't play... well, that's actually all it does. But you get my drift.




PT Takes a whirl at the Wheel of Destiny and earns a cool $20 - or $4.53 after taxes.



Josh fought the Wheel of Destiny and the Wheel won - or did it? David Martin takes his revenge for a stain that just won't come out, and Chris Rodgers shows his true feelings through the interpretive medium of chocolate pudding.
