Over the weekend, while you shivered in the wind at the beach, life went on for the tech world:

  • Segway (founded by Dean Kamen, funded by VC John Doerr, patronized by Segway polo player Steve Wozniak) announced two new vehicles: a street model and all-terrain model of the next generation of the Segway Scooter. They'll build villages and hamlets around them, respectively! [NYT]
  • Microsoft launched a desktop-run blog-writing tool, which like every piece of software was invented by Dave Winer years ago. [Windows Live; Winer's blog]
  • The PC turned 25 years old, spurring PC World to live in the past with another damn "history of __" story. [PC World]
