"Weinberg, who bought his Segway last November when the scooters first went on sale, was one of 30 people around the country who were selected, on the basis of essays they wrote, to receive the device two and a half months early. Other buyers will receive theirs in March, but Weinberg got his in late December... Since Weinberg got the Segway, the 34-year-old forensic psychology student has been using it to wheel all over his Hollywood neighborhood -- going to the gym, running errands, grabbing a Jamba Juice, visiting friends -- on trips he would normally take in his Toyota Prius, a hybrid car."
