Where I've Been
By recording a track (an electronic bread-crumb trail) on my GPS while riding (hardware details on Gear page) and then converting it into Google Earth© format, it's possible to see (almost exactly) where I've traveled.
If you haven't already used this amazing software to view the Grand Canyon, Eiffel Tower or your own house, then you don't know what you're missing. To read all about the system requirements and download a free copy, go here:
If you're already using Google Earth©, then all you have to do is click on a track below to download and open a small file that will let you see my tracks in Google Earth©. It will create a folder in the 'Places' window on the left side of the screen. Inside that folder you will see a subfolder by the same name which contains individual tracks for each day that I've traveled.
Tips
- Individual tracks can be double-clicked to zoom in on them, or checked/unchecked to turn on/off.
- You may find it is easier to see my blue track line by zoomin in and out, or when all other 'Layers' are turned off.

What I've Seen
Here's a glimpse into some of the places I've visited through the lense of a video camera. Most are taken with my helmet mounted lens, but a few were shot with the video camera itself inhand, or with my still camera which also captures video (hardware details on Gear page).
You can either right-click and save a video file on your computer, then double-click on the file to watch it in any common video player software you have OR you can left-click on the file and it should open your player automatically.
As I'm new to editing videos, it is still quite time consuming. More to come.

What I'm Listening To
I enjoy listening to a variety of music in my helmet while riding (hardware details on Gear page). It not only helps make the occasional 'grey' day just a little brighter, but it also brings me back home when everyone around me is speaking a different language.
Occasionally, I hear a catchy local beat like the ones I've got here that get my foot twitchin', even if I don't know what every word means (that's my disclaimer if you happen to find they contain something offensive).
These files are in MP3 format. You can either right-click and save them on your computer, then double-click to listen OR you can left-click on the file and it should open your player automatically.
