More Celebrityspotting in Toronto
Will it never end?! After bumping into Alicia Keys (nobody believes me on this one), Howard Chui (if you have to ask, never mind), Ron Sexsmith (a couple of times) and others, today I had another brief encounter with greatness.

I’m sure quite a number of people have stopped him and asked about the Segway, but I’m quite sure very few if any of those people would have in fact recognized who they were speaking to.

It could be to check out the FIRST Robotics Competition, which he founded in 1989, or maybe it was to speak with city council about how municipal by-laws would deal with the Segway — who knows.
