27 March 2007 | 15 comments | Permalink [Music: FC Kahuna - "Hayling"] I finally compiled the DDA Webcam video. It's a time lapse of the 15,193 road images captured once a minute by the windshield webcam. You will see almost every mile of the 16,748 miles we added to the car's odometer. Each frame represents one minute, so don't look away for a second or you'll miss an entire half hour of the drive. Check out the map to get a better idea of what you're really seeing. Update: Hey, look! We made it onto Gadling! Just ignore the fact that I wrote the piece.
14 October 2006 | 0 comments | Permalink Distances were calculated as the crow flies. For some reason, we're missing a *bunch* of coordinates from the KY to WV drive. Milage by Driver Calculated using GPS coordinates:
Error (Pct. error): 1438 miles (8.586%) Valid GPS coordinates acquired: 14716 Distinct valid GPS coordinates acquired: 12331 Average Distance between GPS captures: 1.242 miles Greatest Distance between GPS captures: 176.882 miles Shortest Distance between GPS captures: 0.000083177 miles The DDA Google Earth map is also updated to highlight driving paths by driver.

If you have the closest mileage guess without going over, you'll win a souvenir that we picked up during our trip. Please only one guess per person, so think carefully. The contest ends by the end of the third week of August. We'll announce the winner some time during the fourth week of August. Good luck, and we'll see you at the end of the road!

27 July 2006 | 0 comments | Permalink I updated the album, and that will have to suffice until we can put up some recapping-type blog content. Tomorrow... maybe? I'd do it now, but it's just so late.
