Guess where I was hanging out the window this evening?
…red camera strap flapping as my windswept tongue…

  1. Haha! I’m guessing here. A blimp?!

  2. a zeppelin! it was great having you aboard!

  3. you hang out in some interesting places.

  4. When can the Average Todd get a ride in it?

    Till then, it’s toys only for me. *pout*

    Dirgible

  5. That must have been so exhilarating!

  6. I see those guys flying around all the time now.

  7. Why does Styx’s "Too much time on my hands" keep going through my head as I look at this photo?

  8. Must have been right after drinking the Madeira.

  9. Dang! I was on my way to a council meeting (with my camera) when I saw you go over the Fremont/Arastradero intersection at about 6.45 this evening. Had I but known, I could have gotten a wider angle picture for you

  10. Oh, man… what a cool idea. I’d love to do that and bring my 70-200mm lens with me too! Awesome, Steve!

  11. "Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II."

    HA!

    This should be renamed to:

    "Guess where I was hanging $4500 worth of camera equipment out the window this evening?"

    Great shot! 🙂

  12. I was in a "chase car" below you. Actually, just in my car driving home toward LAH with the zeppelin on my right, handily outpacing my drive down Alma and up Page Mill.

  13. Did you know if you turn your head to the right angle, and open your mouth just right it the wind turns you into its whistle. Like blowing over a bottle, only you’re the bottle.

  14. Yup…
    amberlynnlane: sweet. will try that next time
    rwoodworkr: nice Led Zeppelin track. I was thinking "Fool in the Rain" =)
    It was drizzling, but they had recently filtered the helium so we had extra lift.

    I just posted the videos:
    Liftoff from NASA Ames At the end of the video, you can hear the source of the "do the dog" reference. It wasn’t that great song by The Specials…. I think they should play Ride of the Valkyries on liftoff, and then Led Zeppelin for the rest of the trip

    Hovering over Apple At least three of us worked for Apple at some point (Larry Tesler, Megan Smith)

  15. Great self portrait. You’re certainly enjoying the ride.

  16. oh my god – this is AWESOME

  17. I was going to say My god! But it is already said 🙂 Nice privileges you have! Must have more fun!!

  18. where was I ?! Another miss…
