Brushhead Bob says share yer lane

Have you ever played the little "Where's Waldo?" games on the back of cereal boxes? Searched for the goldbug in one of Richard Scarry's children's books? If so, you might enjoy finding Bob on in this first picture. (You can click the image to enlarge, but don't cheat by scrolling down too soon!)


Did you find him? You might have guessed where he'd be, watching over traffic and keeping an eye out for his human companion as he rode on by.


By the way, if anyone sees Bob up there, could you tell him he can come down now?

Bob on Skyline

On a hot, muggy day in Berkeley, Bob takes to the hills for some nice views across the bay and up to some amazing high cloudage.




Somehow, though, Bob always manages to find the machines....

Desibob

Bob will do anything to get his hands (?) on a Happy Hour Desi Dog deal. Here he's using his tortilla chip camouflage technique to blend in while waiting for an unsuspecting student to set down their dog.

The newest Work-Study student in the Cave


Scans documents for hours with not a word of complaint.

turn on your boblight

I don't really know how to explain this one. But he always has had a thing for ET...

recharging

At the end of a long day, Bob seeks inspiration for his next post.

"Every bot needs its recharging station."

Caltopia? I don't think so.

So you might have noticed that the whole campus is in the RSF (the UC Berkeley gym) these days, doing the opposite of working out: yup, that's right, they're walking around with shopping bags, gettin' freebies, playin' in raffles, and in general learning to appreciate all the corporate sponsors at Caltopia, "the largest College Lifestyle Festival in the nation".

Not Bob. When he hits the gym it's all work, no messin' around. Here he is doing crunches:



Stretching on the mat...



And on the machines, ready to do some flys.


Keep trying, Bob, maybe you'll be able to reach someday.

no, bob, you gotta use the earphones!

Or, if you're a bot...maybe you don't!

gettin' off easy at the dentist's

Sometimes, Bob's smile can be almost too much to bear...


I mean, he almost seemed more interested in the X-ray machine and drill fittings than he was in the plight of his be-fillinged human companion.

Faraway thoughts on a top tube

Pondering how life might have changed if he'd been able to make the trans-Atlantic trip to watch the Tour this year brings a smile to Bob's face.


Posed atop his friend's Scattante Americano single speed.
