Love the Oceans? Help an Ocean Rower!

As many of you know, I've been following the adventures of Roz Savage, a British ocean rower and environmental campaigner who has rowed solo across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is now in the middle of the Indian Ocean!

She blogs on a regular basis to let us all know of her progress. Sending these blogs over a satellite phone costs money, and that's just one component of her row. How does she do it? She does it with the help of people like me and you.

You can sponsor her for only $10/mile. 100% of the money goes to the row. When she rows your mile (or miles) she gives you a shout out on her blog! She rowed my miles today and I must say it's a very easy way for me to feel like I've helped her spread her environmental message.

All those warm fuzzy feelings and the opportunity to follow along on her ocean adventure? Don't miss out...

Virtual Segway Tour with Miss K

Have you always wanted to take my segway tour in San Francisco but still haven't made it yet?

Well now you have a way. A very lovely German couple who came on the tour last week had a camera attached to their segway that took a photo every 10 seconds. They had it running for the entire tour, resulting in a 21 minute video.

Yes, it makes my hand gestures look more spastic than normal. Yes, I am wearing the men's XL raincoat which I refer to as my "big yellow dress". Yes, it is silent and there are some moments when the segway is parked looking at nothing special, but you know what? This is as good as it's going to get unless you get out here and take a tour. [hint]

Charging Along

Oh... I say I'm going to try and update this blog on a weekly basis and before I know it a month has gone by.

How does it happen? Well, some of my time is spent working my tour guide job to earn some cash and more of my time is spent on improv and movie making which nourishes my soul but, sadly does not give me any grocery money.

I haven't spent much time figuring out where else to submit the Bushman movie because I've been working with other people on their films. Producing a science fiction short which we filmed down in San Jose, pre-production stages on a comedy to be filmed in July and starring in a commercial which will screen at the next Scary Cow film festival.

Although it's not put together the idea is this... you see me driving around in this kick ass 1968 Dodge Charger rocking out to some Joan Jett inspired music. Then you cut to me (years in the future) stepping out of a new Toyota something or other (no I didn't pay attention) and walking into this fancy house. The idea being the new car makes me feel as fabulous as the old car.

Driving over the Golden Gate Bridge in the Charger was fun but a bit nerve wracking, what with the bad brakes and my inability to get it into 4th gear most of the time. But hey - I didn't ruin the car and I had truckers honking at me and giving me thumbs up. Perhaps it's time to find a new ride.
