San Francisco’s annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel event took place yesterday in my neck of the urban woods. Here’s a quick video I shot of the action before straddling a pink Barbie Extreme Cycle for a couple heats (thanks Ali!). Scott has the usual assortment of awesome pix and links over at his blog.

The news that Bebo has acquired AOL for $850 million is amazing news! Smaller, newer and more nimble companies acquiring old slow dinosaurs is really the only way to go. Just think how less evil Microsoft would be if Netscape acquired it? I predict Digg buys out the NY Times in the next year. Congrats to Bebo’s founders, Michael and Xochi Birch, a couple of very cool cats who followed their passion to their inevitable conclusion. One of the last LunchMeet shows I did while at PodTech was with Michael and Xochi.

When pal Randi Jayne says she’s making a video, there simply is no way of saying no. This epic dorky fun video debuted at a SXSW Interactive party for the game Rock Band. It’s always fun working with Randi. I shot the inside living room scenes at beginning and end.
