Pangea Day - Behind the Scenes
Took some photos and Qik videos of the Pangea Day stuff happening at the Sony Pictures lot. You can see more on my Flickr account (see right sidebar) and my other Qik videos here.

It’s over. Please take this opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to this country and the Democratic party by delivering your concession with dignity and grace.
Or demonstrate the math you’re using that shows you can win this thing, because no one’s seeing it.

Best Buy clerk sells me a video game but neglects to remove it from the security case. Now I’ve got to muscle this darn thing open. Here’s how you do it. You kids at home don’t try this. I am a professional.

Took a little ride on the Vespa on a beautiful LA weekend. This time, I headed South to Palos Verdes. Only took a few pictures, as this was more about getting out for a good ride than photos. Had a great time, and glad I did it!

While I appreciate the “economic stimulus” check you’re sending, I would much rather have that money go into serious development and deployment of a clean energy program for this country that does not rely on fossil fuels. I want a Hydrogen car. I want to fly in planes that don’t use jet fuel.
As it stands, the timing of the check will coincide with my trip to Japan. $600 will convert to 62,711 Japanese Yen. I’ll be spending it there. The U.S. Government thinks our tax dollars are better spent funding a war over control of dwindling oil supply, instead of figuring out a way to eliminate our need for the stuff in the first place.
Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from the Japanese in this effort.

Did you happen to notice that Hamas agreed to a cease-fire two days after former President Carter hiked up his Depends and had a face-to-face with the head honchos? How about sending him over to Iraq to settle down the Sunni and Shiite leaders? Oh right - you’ve got Condi for that. What is she doing these days? Here she is: bashing Carter for his role in negotiating the cease-fire. The mind boggles.

Now THIS is what I was going for. Now I have to see if I can go back and fix the first attempt…
This blog post helped me piece the route path and the tagged photos together. Namaste.

I took my Nokia N95-4 out with me for a Vespa ride today, and wanted to try geotagging some photos (and possibly videos) and wind up with a neat-o embeddable Google Map which not only showed the path I took, but the photos along the way, all neatly tagged and placed on the path auto-magically.
Well, I got part of the desired effect. There seems to be a bug in either Google or Flickr that is keeping me from going the last mile in the process. I was, however, able to get the desired effect on the Nokia Sports Tracker site, but I can’t export that map. You can see it here.
Here’s the best I could do (so far) with Google Maps:
And here are a couple Qik posts along the way. I will need to work on how to geotag these automatically. I can do it manually, but bleah.
I’ll talk about the process I used to make this happen in my podcast later today. If you know of some good techniques and/or tips to make this all one nice automated process, I’d love to hear them. Hit me up in the comments below, or Twitter to me @pjk. Peace out.

Looking for some advice on geotagging using a mobile phone, and more importantly - how can I use my Nokia N95-4 in Japan. Or am I SOL?
