Camera Meets Speedometer, Travel Across Country Together 290
BluKnight writes "This guy hacked his camera to his speedometer, and ended up taking a picture EVERY MILE during a trip across the US. Kodak has the results (Flash in use!) of this venture. 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...

This guy, and everyone who thinks this is "cool", or "news for nerds", should wake up and realize we are on the brink of world war 3.
We need to devote our energy to making better and more effective weapons and bombs. NOT mental masturbation about taking pictures.

(However, I'm not glad they're gone, I don't particularly care about them. It's sad that lives were lost but buildings on the other end of the country from me are another story. -1, here I come.)

Probably too hard to change the film every 36 miles while driving around the edge of a canyon.
