Finally after all this time we have been able to edit video. We took the liberty of putting together a little teaser clip so that you can see a few of the things that we have been doing. From there we should have the first two segments up in the next week or two. So […]

Indonesia, hard work and no cars.
May 11, 2007 – 7:36 pm
We have now been in Indonesia for about a week and it is a wonderful place. However internet has been very difficult and we have been extremely busy. We will be in Jakarta tomorrow and should have a better internet connection. As soon as I am online again there, we will upload a ton of […]

Riding into the Outback Sun.
April 24, 2007 – 5:33 pm
Our time so far in Australia has been almost entirely spent on the coast. Before I arrived here, the pictures in my mind of this country and its citzens could have been pulled out of a fantasy novel considering their level of accuracy. A couple of years ago I spent some time down in Brazil […]
I live in a spaceship.
April 23, 2007 – 5:24 pm
It has been about a week since taking possesion of the vehicles. After spending two months without the trucks, it is easy to forget what real freedom and conveniences are like. Daily we have to double our travel time, work out three or four different modes of trasportation and revolve our schedule around timtables. Since leaving […]
We have the trucks.
April 13, 2007 – 10:22 pm
Things are truly on the up and up. We now have the trucks and are in the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney. Now that we have our gear we were able to go canyoning in an amazing canyon and abseil some waterfalls. We have limited internet right now, but we will be taking some photos […]
More than just a drive down the coast…
April 10, 2007 – 8:03 pm
When hearing about a stretch of road acclaimed to be one of the best drives in the world, it is easy to brush it off as a bunch of tourism propaganda to entice a visit to the area. A name like "The Great Ocean Road" seems a little holier than thou coming from the Australians presenting this road as some sort of […]
The good kind of delay.
March 28, 2007 – 6:33 pm
On our journey further south we have arrived in a town named Geelong. In stark contrast from the busy city of Melbourne, this quaint little town has an unbelievable waterfront with a quiet little restaurant serving excellent food, wood carved statues ornamenting the small parks along the boardwalk and lines of sailboats ready to cruise […]
When is the Sharper Image going to come out with the right adapters?
March 25, 2007 – 3:10 am
Out of all the things that did not make it into the trucks or our bags in the chaos before we left, a power adapter is probably one of the more important ones. As we did the push to get sponsors on board before we left, we even produced a video travel guide with a […]
New Bios
March 24, 2007 – 4:54 am
I have updated the bios for the new members of the team. Check them out! I have also received a few questions concerning the vehicles. We are working on the vehicle page right now and are hoping to get them up tomorrow morning. Unfortunately we will not have any action photos until the 7th of […]
