I first started seeing this guy around a couple of years ago. At the time he seemed to have a clever brute force way of doing holographic images from a phone or tablet. But it's been three years now, technology moves on in a lot of different ways. I'm not sure I think it's as cool now. But that is not the reason for this post.
I've seen him possibly a handful of times now. Outside of the first time I interacted with him, he basically won't engage. Won't answer questions. Seems insulted if you try. Wears headphones to prove his point that he's not interested in talking with you. But I keep seeing him carry this item around, and literally no one seems interested in it. What is up with that? He usually doesn't even have an image displaying on it, so you aren't even really attracted to the device in any way.
This last shot is blurry because he will literally try to evade you in any way he can. Which really just makes me want to take more pictures of him and I know it's not right. But that is human nature. If he just talked to me for a second, I'm sure I would become disinterested enough to leave him alone. As time goes on, I'm not even sure how he's going to make an actual product out of that. The link above gives you a much better look at the device.
"I would love to know what this guy's story is ..."
ReplyDeleteMe too ...
YOU HAVE WINE TRUCKS LIKE FOOD TRUCKS NOW?
I'm not even a wine drinker and I think that's awesome. :-)
Oh, and I don't care what this guy with the semi-transparent square funnel has built or is doing.
If it were important enough, we'd all know about it.
The "product" is probably some sort of privacy filter for watching ПРОН -- lo-tech, not hi-tech -- and he's probably just the consumer, which is why you keep creeping out Mister Creepy.
BUT THE WINE TRUCK ...
How does the temperature in the summer not fuck up the wine?
DOES HE HAVE FIVE BOTTLES OF MERLOT OR SIX ...
In all of this excitement, does he even know himself?
But I gots ta know, I gots ta know. :-)
I didn't even realize that was a wine truck. You guys are CSI'ing the hell out of my photos. I'm not sure that goes on the street despite it having wheels.
ReplyDeleteAnd also...... I didn't peg you for a wine guy.
Irish whiskey, not wine.
ReplyDeleteI'll also drink Scotch if it isn't peated -- that's why I drink Irish mostly.
There are two rather smokey whiskeys I don't like from Ireland.
One of them's from Cooley's, and it's called Greenore. A friend liked the 15 year version of it a lot, and I didn't like it much after the first swig, so he got that bottle. (Don't bother with trying to find it.)
The other one is Connemara, no matter what variety.
Midleton Very Rare and Writer's Tears cask strength are two of my favorites, along with some Tyrconnell Madeira cask Irish.
Bruichladdich Islay unpeated is the Scotch I'm going through now, although I have some "airplane bottles" from Harrod's that I'll go through soon.
BUT WHAT ABOUT BEER?
BEER AIN'T DRINKIN'!
Neither is wine, actually. :-)
That sounds about right.
