Default Finding Random Blogs/Pictures of Yourself is Exciting


I was randomly searching for "unicycle commute" on Flickr in the hopes
of seeing random onlooker's photos of unicyclists I may know and on the
first page I saw a picture of myself commuting to work. I followed the
user's site and saw a blog post about it:

"Things you don’t expect to see in traffic: Unicycles"
http://clayton.oneill.net/permalink/85

I thought there had to be something floating around with all of the
random pictures that get taken of me while I commute or ride around
DC.

Has anyone else randomly searched blogs or photo sites for pics or
blogs of themselves? It is just a blog post, and however small and
insignificant it may be, it still made my day.

That light takes forever to turn green, so I usually just dismount
instead of hopping forever. I actually usually ride across as well,
but I guess this was one of the few occasions where I decided to walk
across.

Then let's revive 'this'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70533) thread.

Once I searched for "enhjuling" (that is "unicycle" in Swedish) in a
blog search engine to see if I could find any interesting unicycle
blogs. To my surprise I spotted the words (translated) "unicycle",
"Chinese" and "university" in the same sentence. Interesting. The blog
post was quite short, so I'll translate it for you:


'The inspiration of the day' (http://www.bjornback.se/#post269)
There was a Chinese who went to the university on a unicycle. Thinking
of getting one myself. That would be cool. Elin Björnback on a
unicycle. Wouldn't that be a nice sight?



No photos, but I only know one Chinese who commutes on a unicycle in
Sweden: that would be me. Needless to say, that post put a smile on my
face.

Ah, like this you mean?

http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63836

Sadly the video has been taken down for some time now, and I never made
a copy of it. Wasn't exactly the highest quality, greatest camera
angles, or most provocative script... but it was a film of me by
complete strangers posted on youtube!
