Cosmic Karma

Or some such thing. It's as though something truly cosmic just happened, but I can't quite put my finger on what it was.

The multi-millionaire owner of the Segway company died in a freak accident yesterday when he rode one of the high-tech two-wheel machines off a cliff and into a river.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first single-vehicle fatality on a Segway. I personally like the technology that went into the thing, although the application as human transport never struck me as particularly wonderful. Still, it's the first step toward Rosie the Robot.
