Those two cups of tea are not really my bag, or whatever. But Woz's videos on how to play Segway Polo are an interesting look at the rule book. You can't ram or shove others, or run your Segway into the goal like those cheating bastards in Super Mario Strikers. (You know who you are.)

There's also an equipment checklist, and a requirement that all players, regardless of previous orientation, play right handed. "Like Jousters." Woz also admits that the refs look the other way when players cut each other off, just to keep the game moving, despite it being illegal in the OSPH (Official Segway Polo Handbook). Seeing this, I have to say I'd consider playing. Really. [Neulio via Cult of Mac]

<![CDATA[ Woz Wants YOU to Play Segway Polo ]]> We tuned in for Woz's grand Segway polo match today. Aside from the simultaneously eerie and warm feeling we got from Steve Wozniak's shirt bearing a striking resemblance to our old high school's band booster wear, we weren't able to enjoy much of the very short broadcast of the match. In fact, we have no idea who won, cried, made out with Kathy Griffen or anything.

Though, we're sure Woz won. I mean, the guy is Woz, after all. Here's a clip we did manage to catch in which Woz pitches you Segway polo with enough fervor to light your heart on fire...he offers to train you and everything.

<![CDATA[ iPolo Highlights iTalian Fashion ]]> As if Kanye's beautiful and brilliant prose about Italian fashion, shopping, and bilingualism wasn't enough to convince you that Italy produces the nicest clothing, the iPolo will make you a believer. Just look at the fine craftsmanship that melds the douchebaggery of a sleeveless shirt with the jackholiness of an on-board iPod pocket. It's the perfect combination to be both punched in the face and stabbed in the gut—and that's before you even leave your parents' house. [iPolo via Crunchgear]
