My Drive To Work
Written by Michael on March 16th, 2006Ok, this is probably the most pointless post ever but I can’t think of anything to write about today. I took this video about a month ago while working on a proof of concept for a video project I’m working on but don’t want to talk about just yet. The DV camera is mounted outside on the roof of my Saturn. This video is the route I take from my home garage to my garage in downtown Seattle, mostly on I-90. It’s at 30x speed and runs a little over 4 minutes. You can “scrub” or fast forward the video by pulling the slider to the right.

Wow. Only two stop lights in 26 miles! Impressive. Can you include a picture of how the camera is mounted on the car?

Hi Rake, yeah I meant to include a picture of the mount but I need to grab it off my compact flash card. I’ll post it later tonight.

Oh, I did get A LOT of weird looks and two people tried to pull me over to tell me that I had something on top of my car.

Alfred, it’s 25.923 miles according to my Garmin GPS unit. Traffic isn’t bad if you leave Fall City before 6:40 but leave after that and you’ll run into significant backups on I-90 leaving Issaquah because of all the merging congestion. After that though, it’s smooth sailing all the way to Alaskan Way.

Awesome. And what a beautiful place you live. Sorry I cannot envy you for your commute. :-)
