    Ok, I am copying Chaotic Yeti's idea from his thread, but here is a video of part of my morning commute. It turned out ok for just being video from my digital camera.

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5927981624404442837

    My favorite part is the audio, sounds like an indy car, and the turn signal click is great. It's sped up about 8x.

    edit: if it doesn't work, try reloading the page or maybe give it a few minutes, I just uploaded it. The link worked once for me, but then I clicked it again and it said it's still processing.

    ha, I'm usually hitting snooze between 7:40 and 7:50. :) I'm usually going through that area about 8:45.

    yeah, my commute this morning was about 45 minutes. It'll be nice when the new 35w bridge is done and I can take hiawatha again.

    Thanks. I wish google didn't compress the video so much, the detail in the orig is pretty good actually, still only 320x240 though.

    Yeah, that's down in Eagan at the end, just past 494.

    yeah, I was planning to put music over it, but once I heard the engine I just decided to leave it.

    Maybe I'll put this song over the top, but make it so you can still hear the engine.


    edit: actually, no I won't do that. I just thought it was funny. I was thinking that Alvin and the Chipmunks singin ridin dirty would be a funny song for it, and sure enough someone had put that on youtube. I swear almost anything you can think of is on youtube.

    Looked like you were about to tag the guy in the middle of the road around the 2 minute mark. So what kind of rpms are you turning on the freeway, 14-16k:laugh:.
