Camera Meets Speedometer, Travel Across Country Together

For my next hack, I'm going to interface to my digital camera to take a picture every time I blink -- I'll never miss what I'm seeing again!" The best part is the fact that he stopped every 36 miles to swap film rolls. Sad thing is, I understand this. (I still love film) The interactive map is -really- well done, but requires flash...

No shit. He should have grabbed a digital camera with a few 128 meg compact flash cards. I know that with my little 1.0 megapixel camera that I can get over 500 pictures at the highest quality on one 128 meg card. All you'd need is two and a laptop with a reader so you can load the pictures to hard drive and then wipe the card clean for the next 500 miles of pictures.
