Drive America - An Epic Road Trip
Lately, I have been working on a bunch of different things for some friends going on an epic road trip late next week. Unlike your typical roadtrip, this one will be completely decked out with tech.
The crew and I have outfitted the trunk of the Ford Explorer with a Shuttle PC, which will be accessed via VNC from a laptop up front. This computer will function as the media server 
for the trip, with a Sprint EVDO modem for constant internet connectivity no matter where in the country they may roam. Connected to the computer are, at the moment, 2 cameras. These cameras will stream live video via the internet broadcasting service, Mogulus. The nice thing about Mogulus is that it allows me, head of command center, to switch between the cameras, add lower thirds, and graphics, without having to be there.
Besides the technical aspect of the trip, I also function as the graphic designer. I designed the logo, which is visible at the top of the Drive America website at all times, as well as, the t-shirt and various promotional “propaganda”.
So be sure to check out Drive America as three brave men set to conquer the open road, from June 19 to July 10. Their adventures will be streamed live nearly 24/7, so don’t miss out.
