Breathtaking Ride through Nevada/Arizona
I’m stopped at a Burger King in St. George, UT right now, and mercifully they have wi-fi. I’m spending most of my time, however, reviewing all of the photos we took on our slice through the Yellow Knolls near the Arizona/Nevada/Utah border. I kept my eyes on the road as Kathryn snapped pics. Really quite something.
Hopefully this video will do it a little bit of justice:
Soon as I have a bit more time, I’ll stick these on a proper Flickr slideshow.

GeoTag Junkie: Where my Last 500 Photos were Taken
about 8 months ago - No comments
Unfortunately, the wonderful Flickr map only lets you display as many points on the map (at a time) as you can fit in thumbnail photos across your screen. So, for someone like me who meticulously geo-tags every photo taken (in the hopes I’ll one day be able to locate the ideal geo-data visualization app for
Flickr vs. YouTube: Mobile Video Quality
about 1 year ago - No comments
I just posted on the quality & feature differences between Flickr video and YouTube, saying also that their mobile feature sets were quite similar, though video quality was about the same. How wrong I just was, with respect to mobile video quality. Have a look at these two samples, taken on an iPhone 3G, of
Flickr & YouTube – Video Quality & Features Comparison
about 1 year ago - No comments
Flickr has a little known, and not oft-used ability for users to upload videos, as well as photos. As Flickr is primarily a photo site for photo enthusiasts, the purpose of Flickr videos was not to host the latest Shakira music video or Baby Bloopers w/Gangsta Rap soundtrack – but rather to augment one’s photographic
Getting ATI Radeon HD Drivers to work on a Linux laptop – the Saga
about 1 year ago - 12 comments
I never thought I’d be switching to Ubuntu — but I can’t believe how painless this Ubuntu 9.04 install just was. After years on RPM-based distros, I was stymied just now, trying to get Linux back up and running on my HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, running in to all sorts of dorky installation issues that
Thank-You for Carr Subaru — Our Cross-Country Trip
about 1 year ago - No comments
This is a thank-you for the guys at Carr Subaru, who set us up with our 2006 Subaru Impreza that we used to haul all of our gear across the country. I figured that most of the people who buy cars from you either (a) never hear from again, or (b) only hear from them
The Trip Map – Web 2.0 Style
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Now that my cross-country trip is drawing to a close (I should be pulling in to my destination in the DC area tomorrow) I’ve been trying to figure out a cool Web 2.0-style way of displaying where we went on this trip, with the route we took, geo-tagged photos, videos, and all of that sort
The Country Road is Taking Me Home

I’ve had a few admonishments for no blog posts over the last two days – sorry about that. I had an awful Internet connection which [gasp] I couldn’t debug, and couldn’t make work for me. So, I had to wait until tonight, when I’ve finally made it to Virginia (Lexington, VA, in the bottom of
Lesson on how you KNOW if you’re Actually at 10,600 feet
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
When driving on the I-70 toward Colorado, if your Subaru is buff enough, you will finally come upon Vail Pass, at a breathtaking 10,603 feet. Now, anyone who’s been mountain climbing in the Cascades knows that at about 10,000 feet, you see snow and ice and Glaciers and you lose your breath and have to
Parade of Videos of our Trip through Utah/Colorado

While my wife & I are on our way across the country, I finally was able to stop at a place that’s got wifi, so I’m finally able to upload and work with some of the photos & video that I’ve been taking over the last 48 hrs. (Sorry, yet another opportunity for me
Letting the wife drive
about 1 year ago - No comments
As we make our way across Utah and into Colorado, I’m letting Kat drive for a bit so I can take advantage of the fact that we’ve had Edge data service across most of eastern Utah. Lack of ANY service in Western Utah cost us our hotel reservation when we couldn’t call or message them
