I'm writing this
while driving through the beautiful mountains north of Los Alamos... thanks to our awesome new EV-DO card we bought for the trip. With
Adrianna Krikl playing off the ipod it's *almost* very relaxing - if it weren't for a few straps between the roof and the rack vibrating wildly in the wind, creating what some might describe as the world's most annoying sound.

But I'm glad I finally have a moment to slow down and write a post - the last two days have been go-go-go, and on almost no sleep to add icing to the "cake".
I'm so excited about being featured on
Have Money Will Vlog - it's been something I've been waiting a long time to announce, and the timing couldn't be more perfect.
Jan and
Ryanne recored a Skype conversation they had about Pedal's interesting history with HMWV, how things have evolved since I started working with Ryanne and then later with Jan.
In the video they mention how Jan gave me the kick in the butt to ask
Nokia (WOM) about sponsoring us with a video-phone, something I wasn't considering before for a number of reasons. A: Didn't think they would give me one. B: Didn't think I would use it. But, long story short, I asked, they gave the project a phone, and I can't wait to take full advantage of it. Thanks Jan!
It's a great addition to the mix of media we are packing: 16mm, HDV, HDV with a 45 adapter ("HDV35"), mp4 cameras, Polariod, a wide range of SLR cameras and lenses we plan to do specific time-lapse shots with... I'm very excited about having so many different "looks" to choose from.
But I have to run for now, we just parked at OSH to buy something to muffle the vibration.
